Zappos is the sponsor and I thought it sucked that we didn't get either a coupon or something from them. Boo. I also have a shoe problem. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
We stayed at the Orleans, which is off the strip. Rates were $100 a night on the weekend night (saturday) and $35 a night otherwise. We flew in early on Saturday, went to the Expo, stayed thru Monday. It was perfect. Day for the race + nap afterwards <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> and Sunday to goof around doing Vegas stuff, which for us was drinking at Margaritaville on the Strip!<br><br>
The Orleans has a shuttle to the strip. The rooms were big and neat. Nothing uber luxurious or brand new, but clean and comfy. I'm not picky on stuff like that. Give me a clean decent bed, a working shower, clean bathroom, and I'm good.<br><br>
If you go, we'll totally meet up. My friend and I want to do the half again.

 

[wyrillco]

Dougie! Thanks! I love upbeat, dance-y music. That's what gets me going most of the time. If it has a good, fast beat, I like it.<br><br>
I downloaded a fast upbeat Hannah Montana song the other day. Color me embarassed.

 

[wipaddler]

The race is on a sunday this year!! And we can totally meet up.

 

[wyrillco]

Yeah, the race was Sunday last year, too. But you have to get there on Saturday to pick up your packet at the Expo. I'd totally meet up!!

 

[Dougie Fresh]

Definitely. I saved all the playlists from all the gigs I did when I used to DJ ski parties. I'll see if I can find any more. I also need to see what I have on Rhapsody for playlists.<br><br>
My old ski club asked me to DJ at the end of the month. I don't think I can stay up that late nowadays. It would be fun though.

I Didn't Read Any Other List So Some May Be Repeats<br><br>
Centerfold<br>
Freeze Frame<br>
Shes A Beauty<br>
Kick Start My Heart<br>
Nighttrain

 

[Boggs]

Great lists so far! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who still dusts off the 80's music from time to time. While I was more into alternative tunes, I have to admit I still love the hair bands and some heavy metal.<br><br>
Some of my favorites to get the blood pumping:<br><br>
Sun King--Cult (Pretty much anything by the Cult)<br>
Lunatic Fringe--Red Rider (can't hear that without thinking of Vision Quest)<br>
Anything by Josh Todd and/or the various incarnations of Buckcherry<br><br>
2 recent favs: I don't run or ride with music, but these 2 songs often pop in my head while doing both.<br><br>
Pretender--Foo Fighters (they play this @ every Capitals home game just before the players come out on the ice, gets the crowd all crazy)<br><br>
Paralyzer--Finger Eleven (I think)

 

[Brew_Dad]

I LOVE that song. I bought the Swingers soundtrack just for that song.

 

[regiolanthe]

They're playing locally, opening up for <i>Tower of Power</i>. I'm trying to convince DS11 (a decent sax player) to expand his musical horizons and see some good soul/funk horn bands, and at $20 a ticket, figure you can't go wrong ... So far he's hemmin' and hawin' .<br><br>

I was <i>in</i> Cinderella for a day ... alright, maybe two, maybe four hours.<br><br><br><b>Story:</b><br><br>
I went to art school with Tom Keifer and Eric Brittingham. My band ["Bent Cement" - skate punk] shared a practice space in Norristown with Cinderella. One afternoon, we were just fucking around - as punk bands do - and the big hair guys came in for their practice. Eric was late, so I plugged in and provided the thumpthumpthump bass lines as best as I could.<br>
I may have contributed rhymes to some songs they were writing, but I can't be sure. The Seussifier was still very experimental then.
