Slog - Comments on To Live and Buy in Las Vegas http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/to_live_and_buy_in_las_vegas Holy crap--there's a bookstore in the passageway between the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. A bookstore. In Las Vegas. They even had a book I wanted: The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever, edited by Christopher Hitchens. I bought it this morning a few hours after I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and started totally stressing out because Kelly Fuckin' O never came back to our room last night, didn't call, and wasn't answering her phone. Since I am, deep down inside, not just my mother's son, but my mother herself, I was convinced that Kelly O was dead and...

Kelly O was standing in the room when I wrote this, and I ran it past her. I mean, c'mon.

Besides she owes me, after what she put me through this morning. I made her bed when I got back to the room. I bought her breakfast, so we wouldn't have to go foraging for food in the casino in the AM...

Go interview a casino employee, and ask them if hardcore gamblers really wear diapers at the slots. I'm dying to know.

I bought the audio book on iTunes (I do that occasionally if I am really really behind on reading so I can listen while running). Highly recomended reading! The narrator sucks though. I wish Hitchen's would have narrated it like he did "God is Not Great"

I'm always imaging disastrous things in my mind. It sounds perfectly normal to me!

You don't make the bed in a hotel room. That is why they have maids. My husbands always yells at me because I make the beds too.

It has everything: decapation, CSI, hot sex, bubble baths, elevator smoking and athieism...

and, you're SHARING a room?!?!?! what the fuck?!?!? I know your last book didn't sell that well, but haven't they paid you an advance for the inevitable Broadway adaption of "The Kid"?

and speaking of that, who's going to play Savage? I think Cheyenne Jackson would be a good choice...or maybe Doogie Howser and his real life gay BF David Burtka as Terry...that would be cute.

Actually Dan could have expensed this entire trip to The Stranger as "business". He doesn't have to spend a dime except on tacky souvenirs for the kid and Terry...and if he really knows how to work an expense account he can get them to pay for those too.
