Vegas Two Times

After weeks of speculation and days of procrastination Jay Vegas-on-the-Lake loaded up his car to begin is journey back to being Jay Vegas. He managed to stretch out his last night in town to about 7 last nights in town, due in no small part to his friends begging him to stay, "One more day," "through the weekend," or "until we can see Step-brothers." It wasn't quite the 7 straight days of drunkenness we experienced in '96 when he first moved out there, which included a party at his house, my 21st b-day party, a party at Narducci's, a relatively decent get together at Silva's and God only knows what else. Nevertheless, it was pretty fun.

On Friday before leaving Jay B. was kind enough to indulge me in this photo opportunity oh him throwing away a free pizza. he had done the same thing about 13 years earlier, except it wasn't a giveaway pizza from a gas station, it was half of a 16" Capo's garlic pizza. I was working accross the street from Capo's at the time at Sports & Sports, this pretty much meant I was eating Capo's 7 days a week, up from the usual 6 for the summer. If I was going over Jay's or Marty's to hang out I'd bring whatever I didn't eat for them to enjoy. Well Jay didn't want it and just couldn't handle the stress of the box sitting on the table in his garage so he walked it down to the curb and placed it in the trash. Even though Marty or Valentic would be around soon and once we started drinking there would no doubt be a hungry mouth. Anyway, Jay has never really lived this story down, in his words it's been, "beaten into the ground," so I have to thank him for allowing one more shot at him for this story.

I did tell Jay via test message that his leaving would be a lot like when Goose died.

Jay, Godspeed and I hope things work out in Las Vegas.

****Editor's Note Yeah we took the Capo's pizza off the top of the rubbish that night and ate it anyway after a few Beast Lites.
