Let The Games Begin!

It's that time of year, again. It's time for March Madness, and that means it's time for another trip to Las Vegas. Travelling to Las Vegas for the opening rounds of March Madness has been an annual tradition for me for several years. Readers of this blog know that the Red Rock Casino has been the casino of choice in recent years due to its diverse offerings and its close proximity to my buddy's house. However, I am traveling off the beaten path this year. My Las Vegas buddy works for the company that manages the Las Vegas Hilton, and he has provided me and a few other gambling friends with a multi-room suite at the Hilton. This guy is generous to a fault (or he just got tired of his house stinking after days of gluttonous use by slobs he's known for 25+ years). Any way you slice it, I am in Vegas, and the atmosphere is exciting.

In years past, I've run into oracles and harbingers of death. This year I crossed paths with Dee Snider. He was buying a cup of coffee. Dee will be a guest performer with Monster Circus for their first three shows at the Las Vegas Hilton Theater this week. Guess who might be getting free tickets for Saturday night's show.

Ha ha! I met Dee at a radio convention in NYC a good 15 years or so ago, and got a (free) TS CD autographed. I'll mail it up to you as soon as I find it....You'll enjoy it much more than I have.
