Off to Vegas…Early

Posted on February 22nd, 2008 in General

What a hectic day it’s been for Nickycakes.  It started like a fairly normal Friday.  Many of you do not know that the Cakes has a part time job close to his house.  This is referred to as the “fun job” which gets  him out of the house a few days a week.  Nevermind that it pays less in a month than a days profits online.  It’s actually a good relaxing job that keeps things in perspective and makes Nickycakes not forget where he came from.

Anyway, it was snowing this morning.  Normally nothing to be alarmed about.  In fact, Nicky kinda loves snow.  It’s pretty relaxing and better than cold rain at least.  But not today.  The Cakes’ girlfriend was on an overseas flight all the previous night, and had a layover in Chicago before finally coming back home.  With the snow getting more heavy by the hour, the outlook on the Chi-town -> home flight was looking more and more grim.

Sure enough, the flight gets messed up, and she’s stranded in Chicago.  The retards at American Airlines tell her that there are no more flights back home until the 26th….4 days…  They also tell her that they refuse to send her to another destination.  All the other airlines were completely sold out too, since there is a huge snowstorm over most of the northeast.   In short, American Airlines gets the Cakes mushroom stamp of disapproval, right on the forehead.
So the Cakes did what any guy headed to ASW in Vegas on Sunday would do.  He put her on a plane to Nevada and moved his flight up a day.

Anyway, long story short, Nickycakes is headed out to vegas in 8 hours.  Hopefully there will be some pics and stories to post on here over the weekend.

Unfortunately, this takes away quite a bit of planned preparation time.  Here is just one of the plans that will not be making it to ASW as a result:  During the John Chow, Amit Mehta, whoever else panel, an unidentified individual walks in with a boombox with no off button, sets it in the corner, pushes play, and lets Rick Astley’s “Never gonna give you up” play on repeat, accomplishing the best timed, most appropriate rickroll in history.  Sadly, this will have to wait until a later date.

If you’re goin, be on the lookout for the man himself, minus the viking horns, sunglasses, and clock-radio bling necklace.

Keep it real.
