Greetings from Lake Tahoe (Day 1)

Since everyone is wondering what the heck I am doing out here, I decided that it would be best to update the blog as often as possible.

Friday July 7, 2006
12:00 I finally finish packing and hit the sack.
3:00 Wake up, shower, eat breakfast
3:30 Sayid picks me up and we head off to Newark
4:40 Check-in and begin killing time until boarding
4:50 I am reluctant to put my wallet through the security check because those sly guards can use my money to buy themselves Sierra Mist
5:30 I go to the bar to get some breakfast. I am served orange juice with ice. I have defiantly maybe seen this somewhere before.
6:12 Plane takes off
7:20 Land in Chicago
8:26 Take off again
9:58 Land in Reno
10:15 There is a limo waiting for me outside
11:20 We are driving on a road very reminiscent of the one in the Shining but then we round the mountain and Lake Tahoe comes into view. It’s gorgeous.

11:28 Once again pass by a Snug Harbor, the home of gay men and the swim trunks I returned to the store
11:40 Arrive at Harvey’s and of course my room isn’t ready. So I walk over to the golf course. How ever there is good news, I do get a $100 per diem for food and beverages.
12:00- 6:35 Throughout the day I moved boxes, sorted through merchandise, and organized all the celebrity credentials. The only real highlight was the following exchange:

Jeanine: What’s your last name?
Me: Casanova
Jeanine: Wow that’s awesome. That was my grandma’s maiden name. I always wished I could change my name.
Me: My name is still available if you’re interested.

6:30 Finally make it to my room. It is on the top floor of the hotel. It is rather lavish. I’m defiantly not mature enough for this yet.
7:30 Ordered some exquisite potato skins which unfortunately had huge diminishing returns
8:30 I am crashing to the extreme. I am beyond winded
