Vegas was quite fun. Vegas + 7 yr old boy = creating a pervert! Actually it was amusing to watch my son oogle all of the boobs and butts that can be seen on any given street corner in Vegas. His cousin Brooke was competing in a cheerleading competition (she placed 2nd out of 16 teams), so all the kiddos were present. It didn’t stop my sis and I from throwing back some alcoholic beverages though. That’s what we brought along the hubbies for right? Anyhoo, so Cameron absolutely idolizes this magician named Criss Angel. He has a show on A&E called Criss Angel: Mindfreak. He has the posters, the stickers, the jewlery, you name it. Well, good ole’ Criss films his show (he does street magic like David Blaine) at the Luxor property. So first thing Friday we head over to the Luxor to hunt him down like stalkers. We check the Mindfreak store and the guy working tells us he is out back filming a stunt for the third season of his show. So we hustle our asses out to the back parking lot and get there just in time to watch him get run over by a steam roller! If you happen to catch that episode, be on the lookout for us! After the taping we head back in to the store to buy some souveniers. Guess what? Criss is on his way in to sign some autographs! Woohoo! Cameron and Brooke are over the moon! We get in line (only about 5 people back) and wait for his arrival. Well everyone starts screaming and cheering and there he is, sunglasses on walking through the crowd like a superstar! I cannot beging to tell you how incredibly cool this guy was to our children. Too often you hear stories about the kid who saw his “idol” and the guy totally blew the kid off, crushing the image this poor kid had built up of him in his mind. Well Criss Angel was having none of that! Brooke was first to go. Criss was asking how old she was, was she married, joking around with her. He signed her poster and snapped a picture or two. Next up was Cameron. He was a bit nervous to actually meet him in person after seeing him on TV (every episode 400 times! Yeah for TIVO!). He told Cameron how cool his sweatshirt was and stuff like that, signed his DVD cover, and took some pictures. He signed a deck of cards for me as well! I couldn’t resist, after all he’s HOT!!!! I am so relieved that this guy was so damned cool to the kids. I was worried that they might be dissappointed. But, they could not stop talking about him all weekend. It made bringing kids along with us to Vegas well worth all the headache they caused us! Check out the pictures…
Nice to hear that fame hasn’t completely gone to his head. Loved the pics =)
OMG! He is hot! Kinda like Tommy Lee, but a cleaner, STD free version! Guess I’ll have to watch his show now! Glad you had fun!
what a trip that was. Remember Brooke got Criss Angels Room number??? and Cameron’s hot girlfriend’s pictures were everywhere…our kids might need some therapy for that trip later on in life…
