Soooo, the plan of blogging daily in Vegas obviously didn't happen. The fact is, I was just too busy running around meeting people, walking the trade show or partying to find the time to blog. So here's a quick recap of our first ever WPPI experience.
We stayed at The Palms which was fun. I've stayed there a couple of other times. It feels less noisy and congested than some of the other hotels.

More silliness.

Our bill for, like, 4 drinks or something! Ridiculous. Vegas is a town engineered to take your money.
Chillin' with Scarlett Lillian at the Pixel 2 Canvas party.
Josh and Jared Wilson.
Scenes from the Blu party held at this amazing house. It was kind of a trip from the strip though, but worth it. A LOT of people showed up for this one.
The uber cool Travis Broxton.
Katie Van Buren and her husband, Dzifa.
So some of you may not know that the power was out to a portion of the Strip last Tuesday. Unfortunately, Mandalay Bay was one of the hotels that got hit. The image above is the line of people hoping to get back to their hotel rooms. The elevators stopped working and I think some people got stuck!
So we were about to head to The Party at The Hotel hosted by The Becker, when the above happened. When the power was out initially, the casino floor area was not affected. I suppose they'd prefer that their guests deal with a power outage rather than those gamblers in the casino. Anyway, we were about to head over to The hotel elevators and the power went out throughout the entire casino! I'll bet you've never seen Vegas like this before. The slot machines went out, the cash registers went out. Everything but the emergency backup lights. It was weird. I half wondered if riots and looting might break out. And though the lights came on rather quickly, we had lost our courage. The thought of getting stuck in an elevator on the way up to the 62nd floor was just too scary a notion to overcome! I'm really bummed too. Would've been a great party to be at, I'm sure. Next year, Becker!

So awesome to finally you Jesse! I had a blast hanging with you and see you all over. I've been strutting the t-shirt, I love it! Even on the plane home, another photo chick was like "What's your t-shirt all about?" So I was sharing the Photographik love with her! |
