enter one of my favorite people! melissa, would also be in town early for some meetings and wanted to see if i'd be interested in seeing a show that night.
yes, yes, yes! it's always a priority to spend time with melissa when our conference schedules cross paths, but i was espcially excited to catch up early in the trip, rather than somewhere in the middle or end when we are both exhausted. and, barring having a handsome gentleman to be macking on ;), i couldn't have asked for a better date.
i had decided to drive to vegas this time to have some flexibility (in timing AND in packing), and i enjoyed the road trip. arrived safely and without incident, got unpacked, took a quick shower, and met up with my girl for dinner.
we opted for a casual meal (with the promise of frozen hot chocolate) at serendipty and chowed down before heading over to the tent outside of caesar's palace, where we would see absinthe.
i'll be honest in saying that i couldn't recommend it to about 70% of my friends and family, as i know it would exceed the 'crude' and 'vulgar' tolerances of most of them (you), but i'll also admit to really enjoying it. there was one 'bit' that was definitely over the line for me, but other than that, i found myself laughing a lot and really enjoying the acrobatics.
i also appreciated the small space, which made for some truly excellent voyeurism, and the 'permission' to take photos. i wish more shows would do that. i didn't see one flash go off and there were a number of people snapping pics. it was nice to be treated like an adult!
all in all, it was a great girlfriend date night. good company, good food, good laughs, and good aerialists. couldn't have asked for more!
