the night we got to vegas we checked in and unpacked then went straight to 24 hour fitness. i can finally put up 295 again. after we went back to the hotel and ate at sherwood forest. it was natiional rodeo finals weekend and a bunch of hicks were there who didnt know how to park their big diesel ford dually trucks. so we left a note on one of them and nicely told them how to park next time. the next day we saw the same truck and it was parked nicely between the lines.
the billboard music awards turned out good. we got lucky and got sat right up at the 4th row for the entire show. JC chasez sat in front of us backstreet boys sat to the left of us, chingy was 2 rows back and the cast of the OC sat 5 rows behind us. then right behind us was this girl who kept on having people getting autographs from her. i couldnt recognize her but she turned out to be kelly clarkson. no doubt opened the show and other singers like shania, beyonce, clay, r kelly, foo fighters, sting followed. paris hilton was there with nicole richie. she looks like she is back in high spirits. triumph the dog was there and he was funny as hell. carmen electra, dave navarro, mandy moore, nick and jessica made appearances. there were a lot of hot white girls sitting next to us but are taken by some rich ugly chinese immigrant. so after we went to paris to eat dinner and pondered whether we should stay another night. we figured since vegas was dead being a weekday, we decided to leave and come back in couple weeks. the drive home was scary cuz akash fell asleep without knowing it so i had to be forced to stay up where i really wanted to sleep.


i watched the wedding of trista and ryan and it was a nice wedding. for a million bucks it shoulda been more glamourous. first of all it was outdoor and cold as hell in palm springs. the papparrazzi in the helicopters didnt go well with the exchanging of the vows. what was worth it was when brad paisley came out to sing a song ryan wrote for trista for the first dance. im not surprised cuz trista was in one of his music videos and he is a good singer/songwriter/guitarist.
