Coverville 500 & NME Friday Night

So we continued our Twitter stalkings @ the New Media Expo. On a side note, Twitter is really the ultimate stalking tool, and we made full use of it, following the Twits to the Rev3 party at the Doubledown Saloon. On another side note, the DD Saloon is the biggest dive in Las Vegas, in what the locals, at least the gay locals refer to as the Fruit Loop. It's small block that is mostly full of gay / lesbian bars and business, the DD Saloon is not one of those. I grabbed a beer there and watched Felicia Day completely pool shark Veronica Belmont. It was pretty funny.

Not much else to do there, it was standing room only and everyone was enjoying the relatively fairly priced alcohol. Hopefully the rest of the crowd enjoyed more than I did because, at the concert the bar prices were outrageous. Now I realize that the Casino is mostly to blame for the prices at the concert, but c'mon. I get an Anchor Steam at the DD for 4 bucks, but it's gonna cost me 9 bucks for a Corona @ the concert. CRAZY shit.

Other than that, the concert was great, but I could have done with a little shorter sets. The Dr. Whatchamacallit guy skit went on a bit long, the suicidal lyrics chick with her guitar was pretty depressing. Jonathan Coulton was awesome, Chance and the Choir showed promise, but at that point we were way to tired to stick around for Richard Cheese. So we missed all the drama from that part of the concert, which I won't further discuss, because it's been talked to death.

I got to briefly stalk Randy Deluxe from The Instance and let him know how much I enjoyed the podcast. Figured it was my last chance to get in a hello since, Saturday at the show as a relatively slow and short day. He was very nice and introduced himself formerly, I really wish I had more time to chat with him and some of the others (NotPatrick) from that group.

Also got to watch Felicia do her crazy little dance around the ballroom, not that we were ya know, stalking anyone or anything like that. Yeah ok, so concert, guess that is about all I have to say, good job Brian Ibbot on the concert.
