Jay Def

I flew into Phoenix last night at about 11 PM.  Pagne and Nelly picked me up from the airport and we drove to Pagne’s condo and had tea and talked for a while.  Then Nelly and I drove to her place and I met Qelyn and then crashed on Nelly’s couch for the night.

So far I haven’t seen enough of the city.  Today we’re going to the Arizona Ren Faire.  It should be fun.

Tomorrow, I’m leaving on a Jet Plane for Phoenix, Arzona.  I’ll be hanging out with some friends from Consumating.  This will include my friend Dave who I’ve known since high school.

On Saturday, we will be going to the Arizona Renaissance Festival, and then we’ll be brunching at Lolo’s Chicken and Waffles on Sunday.  Then it’s back to the ol’ grindstone.

This begins what I will now call Jay’s Year of Travel.

I will definitely be travelling quite a bit over the next few months.

• On Feb 29, I will be flying to Phoenix, Arizona for the weekend. This is a ConsuMeet (where a bunch of people from Consumating get together). This particular meet is called FatSumeet, where a bunch of us fatties get together and get our eat on. (God, did I just type that?) On Saturday, May 1, we will be going to the Arizona Renaissance Fair. Then on Sunday, May 2, we’ll be brunching at Lolo’s Chicken and Waffles. After that, it’s a flight back to Boise.
• On May 9, I will be flying to Las Vegas for the Skank-Ass Ho Down II (Electric Boogaloo) Consumeet. This will probably be filled with debauchery and fun.
• Thirdly, in July I will be going to New York for 2 weeks. This trip with be a combined family vacation (with my parents, my brother and my sister and her family) and Consumeet where I’ll be hanging out with some of my friends back there. Apparently we’ll be spending a week at a cabin in the mountains. It’ll be interesting to see what the woods are like back there, and how they differ from the woods here. The second week, we’ll just be staying at my sister’s place and I’ll get to see more of the city.

I’m really excited for this travelling. I don’t get many chances to travel, and it’ll be nice to get out and see more of the world.

When I was in 7th grade, my brother and sister were both in the Payette high school band. That year, the band took a trip to Los Angeles to play at Disneyland. My mom went along as a bus chaperone. Along the way, we stopped at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas because the jazz band was going to play there for some show or something. We really only stayed for a short time, and it really wasn’t exciting because this was when the Mob still ran the show, so there really wasn’t anything exciting for a 11 year old kid like me.

Part of the above paragraph is untrue. I was talking about this with my mom a few weeks ago. She pointed out to me that this was at the MGM Grand in Reno, not in Vegas. For years, I had said that I’ve been to Vegas, but only when I was too young. All that time, I was incorrect.

So, I’ve never been to Vegas. I want to go.
