Apropos of nothing in particular other than travel idea. I considered going to the concert in Vegas. But then realized it was going to be in June.

No way I'm going to the desert in June.

- It's also not June. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:09 1
  - yup -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 14:10
Vegas isn't the desert. It's an Air Coditioned city in the middle of nowhere desert. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 15, 14:01 5
- True. But to walk around and see the city, which I would want to do, you do have to go outside a lot. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:03 4
  - The walkable portions of the strip and downtown are still great during the day. - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:17
  - you'd be better off walking in LA than in Las Vegas, you don't realize how huge the casinos are until you try to walk from one to another -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:04 1
    - Very true. I went a couple years ago and it was fun. But it was January so not smothering hot. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:05
  - eh not that much. monorail -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 15, 14:03
inside concert? would be okay. Who is this mytical band you are following? - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:00 18
- Blue October. They've been around a long time, but most people have never heard of them. They are local to Texas. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:02 17
  - Bleed Out is still in rotation. I am a fan. - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:20 4
    - They don't get much air play around here unfortunately. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:25 3
      - I wouldn't likely know them except Roo was a huge fan and made me listen. I like their style - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:28 2
        
        a lot of their stuff is very emotional. The lead singer is very bipolar and has a long hx of drug problems and comes through a lot in his lyrics. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:37 1
        
        its poetic and heart felt - I like them a lot -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:45
  - I know Blue October, and I know Vegas in June. You should go. - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:16 4
    - They are playing Brooklyn Bowl? Near the Flamingo. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:26
    - I went to an outdoor concert in Late May in Vegas. It was at the pool/beach at Mandalay Bay. The band was on a stage in the middle of the pool. - pmb Dec 15, 14:19 2
      - Sounds awesome -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:25
      - pretty cool -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:21
  - They're still going huh? (Actually I think I knew that because they played San Marcos, where they went to college, recently) -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 14:12
  - you are in texas....but are worried about the heat? -- nm - General Zeit Dec 15, 14:03 1
    - I'm in NC. They are local to TX. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:04
  - what was the name of their hit? -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:03 3
    - Hate Me -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:05 2
      - thanks, I'm going to check it out -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:06 1
        
        I would say their newest album Sway is their best. But Foiled is a solid album. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:09
