Rockin' and Rollin' in the New Year

New Year's Eve 2007 was absolutely AWESOME! Spent it in Orlando with the usual suspects, plus a few new gang members. Spent the evening at Wall Street in WALL-TO-WALL people; wicked loud and crazy, but definitely worth the excitement. The highlight was the 22 cent "Bubba" teeth that I kept slipping in before I smiled at people. It made my companions double over with laughter EVERY freakin' time, but that's because they said it looked so real on me. What can I say? I'm white trash, once-removed!

On the 1st, we went on a "floating casino to nowhere." Unlike my Vegas trip, I actually had a little fun with the slots there and ended up about $15 or so for the day until one of my trusted cohorts came running to find me. "Bing - we found Larry!" Oh, joy of joys! Larry the Lobster was with me on the boat. And I fed $5 to that little shell-monster in NO time flat. Crappy Crustacean!

On the 2nd, we went to Epcot and tried to drink our way around the world. It was busy, but we saw quite a bit. The cool thing is that Tia and I broke down and bought annual passes, since we go up to bother D so much! Now that I know where the key is, I may start commuting from Orlando. I think the highlight of the day (at least for me!) was waiting in line for "Soarin". The line took over an hour, but with the "Bubba Teeth" back in business, it was quite entertaining. We even watched a kid walk into the wall and fall over as he stared. Now THAT'S entertainment!
