Day 7 – Today Dave and Justin drove back to LA to socialize and hang with some friends. Jim, Kevin and I wisely stayed in Vegas and spent the day doing a whole lot of nothing. This morning I went outside to use my cell phone and was approached by a real life prostitute! Go Eric, go Eric, go Eric. I refused her offer but it was cool to be involved in the pimp and ho scene for at least a few seconds. After walking the strip for a few hours, cruising the buffets, and even catching a movie we came back to sit and soak our feet in the pool. The experience was almost religious. Knee buckling as Justin would say. After the previous nights celebrity spotting we ventured over to the Hard Rock. Kevin remarked that it looks like Maxim magazine in there because of all the hoochies and rock star clothes. So true. The Hard Rock wasn’t that happening tonight so we crusied back to the Flamingo and hung out at the bar until around 4:30. At some point during the evening it was decided for me that my new motto for life is “I just dont give a fuck.” I’ve said that phrase 100 times now and it’s still amusing. Somewhat empowering too. Jim is the only one who has won money so far … he scored $73 at roulette. It hardly feels like we are on tour. Due to two cancellations our last show was 2 days ago and the next show is 2 days away. Having 4 days off kind of sucks but I would rather have the time off here than anywhere else.
