It was a "Girls Trip" to Las Vegas to Liquidity for the Premiere Party of Mindfreak Season 5 and to see "Believe" again.

Jeanie, Lainey and I decided on a "girls" trip to Vegas to attend the Season 5 Premiere Party at Liquidity at the Luxor. This was the first time that I went to Vegas alone and without Sean and I missed him terribly. It was my first "Girls" Trip and it was so much fun!!! Usually I don't get the chance to party in Vegas because I am with Sean and he is under age, but not this time!!! Jeanie and Lainey drove to Vegas from Arizona and I drove from California and amazingly we all arrived at about the same time. We got settled into our room and got ready to go see "Believe" which was absolutely fabulous as always :-) We arrived just as the show was getting ready to start, so the lobby was pretty empty and the first thing was that I was mezmerized by hearing Criss' voice whispering "Are you Ready?" as you walk through the lobby ~ very intriguing indeed!! As we got into the Theatre, Lars (one of the ushers) grabbed me and said, "Ah my girlfriend is here" and he was telling me he loved me and I said I love you too and he got all happy and bashful and then pulled Jeanie and Lainey into the act and said ~ Oh, I have 3 girlfriends. It was fun to be drawn into part of the pre-show fun. As everyone who has seen "Believe" knows, the Ushers are just so funny!!! They are great ~ love them! The show was so awesome and it seems I always see or feel something different every time I see it. Criss' talent and energy is just amazing.

After the show, we met up with Lainey's friend Eddie who was very nice and so much fun! He stayed with us the whole night. We walked around the Luxor, did a little shopping, went to the Mindfreak Store and then got a bite to eat at the Deli. We had such a good time hanging out and talking. Jeanie, Lainey and I are great friends ~ we are truly 3 peas in a pod!!

Well to get the party mood started, we went to Fat Tuesdays :-) I had a Peach Belini with an extra shot of rum ~ it was delicious. Of course as usual we were taking pictures throughout the night to remember all of our good times. We walked around a bit more, then headed over to Liquidity to wait for Criss and see the Seasons' first episode ~ White Death!! We hung out, drank and talked in Liquidity while we waited for Criss to arrive. I saw some people I knew and said some hello's, but as you could figure it was very crowded. We met and got to take pictures with Kader, who plays Lars in "Believe" ~ what a total Sweetheart he is!!!!. Later I met Slim, another one of the ushers, Kayala was also at the party. JD was wandering around keeping things running smoothly as usual. I was able to hug him and talk to him briefly a few times during the night. When Criss arrived, the crowd went wild as you can imagine. Carrot Top was there too being his usual funny self. Criss and Carrot Top really worked the crowd and got things going. Criss was walking around on the bar, meeting people, signing things, taking a few pictures and doing a few tricks. He was on the bar right above us and was so close we could have touched him. We started watching the episode and it was great!!!! During the episode, a security lady came over and said for us to follow her and she took us to a table that was rather close to where Criss was sitting ~ we could see him sitting on the couch ~ so we truly were watching the episode with Criss which was awesome :-) Jeanie, Lainey, Eddie and I had a great time hanging out, talking and just having fun and enjoying eachothers company. We had a "Believe" shooter and then moved onto Martini's ~ the Raspberry Lemon Drop Martini was the best! But the most fabulous and special drink of the night was the shot of Patron we got for Criss which we all shared ~ Jeanie, Criss and I ~ A very sweet and special moment. We all talked for a few minutes and there was a quiet moment and Criss was looking at me and I said, "I just want a hug" so he leaned over and hugged me and kissed me on the cheek :-) Aww, he's so sweet.

Pictures were not easy to come by that night because of the number of people there, but at one point Criss and JD were walking right by our table and I had the opportunity to ask for a picture and Criss stopped quickly and Eddie took our picture ~ you can tell Criss and I had both been partying and enjoying ourselves ~ a very candid shot and close up too! Look at the right side of the picture ~ that blurry rainbow looking stuff, is all Criss' blingy rings sparkling on my shoulder :-) (see below).

We also met Luke Dancey, a Mindfreak Consultant and Magician while we were standing at the bar. He had a deck of Criss' cards in his hands and asked me if he could show me something. I said yes and he did some pretty amazing card magic. To summarize, he had me sign a card with a black sharpie and Jeanie chose and signed a completely different card. I signed mine on the face of the card, and Jeanie signed hers on the back of a different card. During all this, he asked us, "you guys are friends right?" we said "yes", he said, "you can probably finish eachother sentences sometimes, right?" we said "yes, sometimes" and he put his hand over Jeanie's card, which was by it's self on the bar (I had seen the face of her card before she signed it and it was not my card) and her signature disappeared from her card, he flipped the deck over face up and we found my card in the deck, when he took it out and turned it over, Jeanie's signature was magically on the back of my card!!!! Amazing!! He was so nice and cute too!! We took pictures together (see Below) :-) He gave me the card to keep and then he made Jeanie a rose out of a paper napkin ~ what a Sweetie!

After Liquidity, we decided to go to LAX and go dancing and we had an absolute blast!!! Criss was also at LAX and not too far from our table where we sat to rest from dancing, which we did ALOT of!! Jeanie, Lainey, Eddie and I had such a great time and it didn't end there ~ we went to Noir Bar and hung out till the wee hours of the morning, actually until almost 6am!! We wanted to get the most out of our night together :-) Eddie walked us back to our room and we said good-night. We had some girl talk for a little bit and then got a few hours of sleep. My buds had to head out early to get home, but I decided to stay in Vegas for awhile and do some shopping and sight -seeing. I went to the "Believe" Store, then the new Mindfreak Store at Circus Circus. I also took some pictures around town and went to the Hard Rock Hotel and checked out the displays of clothing donated by different musicians ~ Very Cool.

By early evening I was heading home and was looking forward to seeing my family and my cat ~ Puffy!! I did really miss Sean on this trip. But hanging out with my new sisters was awesome and of course we have plans to go back together. We had a really great time.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the night ~ enjoy!!
