IAN’S BACHELOR PARTY

VEGAS

There was quite a bit of back and forth about where to have the bachelor party. Ian’s original idea was to fly into LA, rent an RV and go ski mammoth. That plan fell apart pretty quickly. Then it became biking in idaho, then Jackson, then Idaho until one day Ian texted the group text saying, VEGAS BABY and attached a screen shot of his purchased flight lol. Shane later sent details to a air BnB to the group text. The spot looked questionable at best but I didnt want to be too snobby about it so I didn’t mention anything.

Fast forward to the week before - Ian was getting super stoked. He has plans to drive trophy trucks, or race cars or go carts, go to a show and maybe a fancy dinner. After some conviencing we slowed the plans down and talked about throwing climbing in the mix and being open to a sick show of some sort. Jesper, Michael and I all chatted ahead of time to make a plan to fly out of portland together and road trip there and back.

We left on a Friday and Jesper and Michael picked me up in Redmond to make things easier then driving out partway to sisters. I was somewhat surprised by how much of a shitshow Jesper’s car was. He’s an acletic dude and our conversations on the way up were pretty funny. The drive up was a lot of fun and we stopped for breakfast food. When we got to Vegas we had to stay in a holding pattern because the storms were so bad in Vegas. We all continueally were getting flash flood warnings once we got service again - turns out climbing was out.

We all ended up being pretty bonked and ready to drop our stuff and go get some food. The Air BnB too some navigating to figure out how to get keys but we manged. When we got to the room we were surprised by a dude watching a football game on the TV and cleaning. He told us he wasnt ready for us. By one quick glance we were all concered. Michael had mentioned something about it being a shit show on our way to the Air bnb so the cat was out of the bag haha. We all chimed in on how it looked like a garbage situation. Jesper was trying to play it cool like he was zen about it and it was all about the journey and experience. . until I pointed out puke on the floor. The room took a while for use to get it but once we were in we decided to facetime Ian and let him know the situation. Everyone was getting in later than us so we were the ones who could figure out what to do about the situation. Ian was immidiaetly on board with change up where we stayed. We had a lot of ups and downs with trying to get out of the Air bnb situation which michael was handling. Turns out the owner was in Iran or something and couldnt be reached. I put two rooms at the flamingo on my card and we sent it down the flooded streets to the Flamingo.

NIGHT ONE

Night one was a wild ride. We rallied and got dinner after finally figuring out our hotel situation. We went to a little taco cantina place near by. We ordered drinks and had a fun bullshitting about vegas and the ridiculousness of us being there/ out of our element. We got a pretty good buzz one empty stomachs drinking tequila. We gambled a bit and waiting for shane. Once he got there the party continued and we got the wild idea to potentially have ian meet us at the strip club. It took a while trying to find the entrance that ian was at with
