Gym Class Heroes

This weekend we did some more traveling again. We went back down to Las Vegas to visit with Libby (and Rich), hang out by the pool, and go to the Gym Class Heroes Concert. Mallory's brother, Steven, came down from Rexburg and came with us too.

The concert Friday night was pretty fun. It was at the Hard Rock Casino in The Joint. Opening were a couple of good bands. The first was Cobra Starship. They were very animated and fun to watch. Apparently they have a song on the movie "Snakes on a Plane" and Samuel L. Jackson told them they had to do a certain "hand sign" for their fans during concerts. It goes like this: Make a peace sign with your right hand and bend the fingers a bit so they look like fangs. Next, take your left hand and put it directly behind it with your fingers spread out. This is the "Cobra Starship".

Anyway, The Academy Is performed next. They were decent too. We really liked Gym Class Heroes. The MC for "GCH" is Travis McCoy. He was really funny and made a lot of weird faces and sometimes started to unbutton his shirt because he thought he was sexy. They were a really entertaining group to watch.








Saturday morning was spent hanging out at the pool at the Marriott Resort. It was hot and relaxing.



By the way, if you didn't notice in the last post, i have a pretty gnarly farmer's tan. I just thought that maybe you'd like to blow up those pictures to admire it.

Later that evening we went to Luv-Its and got some delightful custard. Luv-Its is a Las Vegas must have. They make just about the best frozen custard around. Afterwards we went to the Stratosphere. We had never been up to the top before. It was pretty fun. I did one of the rides at the top too.




Finally, as we were driving on the way home we passed some teenagers who kept waving at meet. So, as I passed them I shared with them one of my favorite signs... the Cobra Starship!
