Vegas!

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been keeping in touch, but I haven't been around the wonders of the Internet for a while. Now, however, I am in Vegas and things are a bit different around here. Since you and I last spoke I've been watching the skater kids of Venice beach do their thing (and god, how the spirit of the Z-boys is still alive) and I've been spedning way too much time in Barstow, the shittiest place in the world. Okay, maybe not (they do have a Starbucks after all), but that city does come close. What a dump. It almost looked like something the Europeans had come up with to make fun of Americans. Everywhere was a fast food sign or some motel that tried to sell its room by sporting how it had HBO (just a sign of how LAME Barstow is), and being there for more than 24 hours have only made me appreciate Vegas so much more.

Because, despite of everything, there is life here. And lights. Lots and lots of lights. Flashing and bright and real Vegas-like. It looks kind of like exactly how it does in the movies, but real. Because I'm actually looking at it with my own eyes, and I can't believe what I'm looking at. You know they even have slotmachines in supermarkets here? That's just crazy.

Later dudes, gotta go to a strip club.

  1. Rart at høre nyt. Kunne ellers godt tænke mig at se Barstow. Var inde og gå lidt rundt i gaderne på Google og det er jo en forblæst ørkenby.
    Kan godt lide at de har slotmachines i supermarkederne. Det havde de i øvrigt også i Lapland, hvor der sad et par typer og trak i håndtagene.
    Glæder mig til at høre mere.
