Aug 29: TASA Convention in Vegas!

Alright so it isn't really a Taiwanese-American Student Association Convention. But a bunch of Stephen's friends from University of Michigan (mostly from TASA) made the trip to Las Vegas for Labor Day weekend. I haven't turned down a Vegas trip this year (4 for 4), so of course I'm game.

UPDATE: Added a few pictures from some other cameras from the night. Thanks again everyone.

The locals met up at my house early on Friday.

Jenny took the wheel for the first leg of the drive. Here's Stephen, "helping her adjust her seat." You be the judge.

Just like the last trip, Stephen is the worst shotgun ever.

Since Stephen and I both didn't get any rest from the night before, she offered to drive the whole way. This is probably the coolest thing she's ever done and ever will do. Here's Jenny hitting the buck mark. This is probably the reason why we got there in 3.5 hours. Thanks Jenny!

We got to the Mirage and met up with Lindsay who flew in from San Francisco.

Suite #9046. This spot is HUGE! 2 bedroom (1 king, 2 queen beds) and 2.5 bathrooms. Plus a huge living room and backbar area. I forgot to take pictures of the spot before we started to trash it. I'll take some pictures later.

We still think these rooms are filthy. We think some dirty perv took a crap in this bowl. "I would use his penis as a spoon." -Lindsay. (WTF!?!?!)

The drink spread for the weekend. Hopefully it's enough.

We started the night off with a game of F*ck the Dealer: you basically have to guess the number of the card. You get 2 chances. If you get it wrong, you drink. Get it right and the dealer drinks.

"Eight. Higher? Eleven!!" -Fung-Lin. I think she meant Jack. Drink up.

We got back to the room at 5am.I woke up at 8. I hate myself. But otherwise a great first night in Vegas.
