Performance Job Offers I've Gotten In Vegas:
- Three potential engagements with the Mirage: strolling magic in one of their on-site bars, including their adult club.
- Operational management of any Houdini's Magic Shop location on the Strip.
- A guest spot in Mac King's afternoon show for two weeks.
- An engagement at Caesars as a strolling magician for their nightclub PURE. The gig would include construction of a stage on the terrace level for some full-scale magic.
- A twelve week slot filling in for Channing at the Flamingo. Which I turned down...I got a feeling they may be trying to burn her, and I plan to tell her about it.

So, for those of you who've been wondering why I got so quiet...I'm alive, I'm well, I'm just still in Vegas.
The anniversary party was a hit, and my folks got back from Cancun a couple days ago. The vacation my dad booked was for five days, 'cause Mom won't leave town for much longer than that. She's a podiatrist with a practice, and did I mention she's really uptight?
Anyway, a pipe blew in my office building at work, so we're all working from home for about three weeks to fix the damage...apparently it was some serious shit. So I'm still in town, and I'm actually getting work while I'm here.
See, my girl's a DJ, but she's opening her own club...and now I think she's considering getting into talent management. There's this band out here, kick ass heavy metal group called Control Freak? She's got a bug up her ass about 'em, and with good reason: these dudes can shred. Anyway, they've been getting some offers but they got no representation. So, Zee's giving 'em a hand.
Anyhow, their lead singer, Toca Vieri (Dog? This guy could be your twin brother) is thinking about doing his memoirs, and I guess Zee helped him do the layout for a potential cover. Zee showed me the design, and I think it's got some real potential. I'm doing some color corrections gratis, and talking to a few printers I know in LA that might wanna take on the project if he does this on his own? But Zee's convinced she can get a publisher to take him on, and she's dead sure these dudes can score a record deal. I, for one, agree with her.
So that's the long and short of it...and while I'm here? A few out of town pics for all of you...
