we all heart salvia.

PART ONE OF TWO!!

DAY 6: Las Vegas, NV [7.20.06]
venue: Stefano's House
bands: just BRL

WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS!! we rolled into vegas at about 8 in the morning after evan drove through the night... before pulling over and passing out on the side of the freeway less than an hour before hitting the strip. first thing we see as we get out of the van (parked so conveniently in a liquor store parking lot) is a hundred flyers for escorts littering the pavement. we love you, vegas.

so we explore the strip for a bit during the daylight hours...
...after a nap of course. thanks to sean bustos for putting us up in his hotel room during his week-long vegas binge to celebrate his 21st birthday. happy mother-effing birthday, bustos. happy birthday.
aaron tries to show off his alleged "guns" in the mall of cesar's.
so then we checked out the gnarly light show in the middle of the mall...
...which everyone was in awe of. like whoa.
noah has a way with the ladies... say hello to bustos' little sister, victoria. she'll grow up to be a rockstar one day. i mean, she already has the "look":

then onto henderson (really? henderson?), a vegas suburb, to play a house party at stefano's house. parents out of town, some awesome kids, and a mini-show in the livingroom:
... after BRL played, aaron rocked a jam session with stefano's band:
SO just to make things more awesome, we asked all the kids to write their names on a piece of paper, along with a special, special message for BRL. here's what they had to say:
yeah, they were big fans of salvia......evan and noah wanted a piece of the action... and a chance to tell y'all what's really on their minds:
and to end the night, evan wanted to show off the giant fist-sized glory hole in the crotch of his jeans. evan is so classy:

coming soon: the PARTY in vegas after the show... what happens in vegas doesn't stay in vegas, it hits the tour blog. what what.
