Very cool description of the day

Wil Wheaton's in Vegas, and last night he wrote this:

On my way out of the casino, I saw a man and a woman in a lounge. A half-empty bottle of wine sat on the table between them. A common scene in any hotel, except . . . he was an Elvis impersonator, dressed in the jumpsuit. She was a bleached-blonde in a spaghetti string top that was having a hard time containing her rather large breasts. Her hair was teased up almost a full twelve inches above her head. They smoked cigarettes while they drank their wine. They were both in their late fifties, and she was in a motorized wheelchair. I am not making this up.
I love how the details about the couple slowly emerge, like single beads being slipped down a string, until finally we have the full picture, and it's nothing like what we expected at the beginning.

Wil is a master.

That's TOO awesome.. :) VERY well written, yes; BRAVO, Wil Wheaton!! I LOVE to read his blog, especially when he DOES write about Vegas.

Vegas is TOO damned cool. Too much stuff happens there for ANYONE to think that stuff like that is just "made up."

:)

I LURVE Vegas...
