For the first time, I decided to head out to Las Vegas and take in all the nerdy excitement that comes with CES, the Consumer Electronic Show…the biggest gadget show in America. It’s where all the electronic companies come out and show what they have cooking. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. Coming to Vegas, I fully realized the importance of a “curator”. I don’t need to see every crappy manufacturer out there trying to make the next hot product. 99.999999% are shit. And to hike thru the miles and miles of convention hall hell, in carpeted floors that were WAY TOO PLUSH…it’s just not worth it! I went back to my hotel and just looked at Brian Lam’s wrap up. Let Brian do all the hard work! I’ll meet you at the 2-5 NL tables. Haha…
Here are 2 photos that wrap up my entire experience at CES:
Tired of…
Nerds.

So that left me with other Vegas-esque devices. Fortunately in Vegas, there are plenty of diversions.
First off, I want thank Gary S. at Caesars Palace for hooking me up with this sick suite in their Augustus Tower. The suite had five flatscreens from what I remember. An infinity jacuzzi, a sauna (in my room!), an incredible view of The Strip, a steam wetroom/shower and too many other amenities to mention here.

There’s nothing like shooting off some post-tradeshow stress by…well…shooting! One of the few cities where you can walk right into an establishment, pick up an AK-47 or Sub-automatic Uzi and start firing away. I opted for a Glock because I wanted to go for quality rather than quantity. I was shook at first, but after a few rounds, I got the hang of it.
Apropos.
Kinda like a salad bar. But with no veggies. Just guns.
“My gunshots’ll make you levitate.”
“Don’t Test.”
After a long night of shooting, there’s nothing like a meal at Jollibee. In the Philippines, Jollibee is bigger than McDonald’s. And some have sprouted in Cali. But we New Yorker’s are sorely lacking here. (Side Note: Why do we also have no White Castle or IHOP in Manhattan?! WTF?) I recommend the Chickenjoy and The Burger Steak!

Finally ended the night with a Microsoft Event at Club Pure with DJ AM on the wheels. Strippers, paid escorts, geeks, millionaires and AM. What more could you want at a party?
DJ AM at Work:
Later Vegas. See you soon.
Shoot to ill!
There’s a White Castle on 36th and 8Th Ave and there’s a IHOP on like 138th and Lenox Ave. Get out of the LES Bubble.
There’s both a WC and IHOP in Harlem, on 125th and 135th, respectively. Gotta know where to look Jeff.
White Castle in Harlem on 125th street and Adam Clayton Powell.
IHOP on 135th and Adam Clayton Powell.

i always read your blog and they are always entertaining and educational. i was wondering what camera did you use for the las vegas blog.
It’s cool that you liked Jollibee, you should try the Jolly Spaghetti, though I am not sure if they are serving it outside the Philippines.
