Preparations for Vegas?

[Jason sampson]

What is everyone doing in preparation for Vegas? Does anyone always get things ready the last minute?

Right now I am preparing my 50 pontiac to drive from Vancouver Wa. This will be its first long road trip out of the area since I have had it.

See everyone there!

I start planning my wardrobe way in advance, so I have time to buy or sew missing elements. Also, I've already gone through the schedule and added my Must Sees to my Google calendar. I can then spot, at a glance, that I'll miss the start of Pinup-A-Looza, because it overlaps with one of the burlesque shows. For instance. :)

Looking forward to seeing your Pontiac!

This April is the craziest busiest April I have ever had! My preparations have been going on for a year!

Aside from organizing with my club the Booze Broads and Hotrods show in San Francisco the week after Viva, I have organized our headliner's mini-tour, and arranged transportation and lodging for them.

Working for Kim Lenz, I am working constantly towards her record release at Viva, and tour dates after.

Thursday, April 2, I pick up the Go Getters from the airport, and host them so they can do a pre-viva party here in San Jose, CA. Then I will drive them to Sacramento so they can play a show Saturday April 4. Sunday, April 5, I am a bridesmaid in my friend Rea's wedding, where the Go Getters are playing the reception.

I will be doing packing and prep work for Viva Mon-Wed, but I think I have my wardrobe sorted, and I can always do a little shopping at Viva if I can find the time!

Wed AFTER viva, I am hosting Jack Rabbit Slim and doing some site seeing before driving them to Long Beach. Friday after Viva, I drive back to work the Kim Lenz Norcal Record Release. Saturday, Booze Broads and Hotrods...Sunday after Viva, I can sleep.

Did everything LAST MINUTE last year....will never make that mistake again. My husband and I both forgot to pack some items and it was an inconvenience having to find the nearest CVS to buy s***. I also forgot an important pair of shoes and some cash I had stashed away in the closet.

This year I am making a check list for packing, I already started it last night. All cash will be deposited in the bank 48 hours before hand.

I always work out more, watch what I eat, and cut back on the alcohol every year about 2 months before Viva. Gotta be able to squeeze into all of those nice dresses and cute outfits, and I want my liver to be well prepped for the mass alcohol consumption.

The car is a few weeks away from being ready, all we need is a couple hundred dollars in parts and an exhaust job (already lined up)

I can't wait!!!!!!!!

My car will be hopefully ready to go this weekend. Got a new oil pump to install, check fluids, and some minor pieces to put together. Otherwise ready to roll!! I also have to hit the exhaust shop as well.

You should invest in AAA Premier, it's around $100.

Older cars can be a little temperamental, I swear they sometimes have a mind of their own.

With it you get a tow up to 200 miles, 1 day comp car rental, locksmith, emergency travel and medical assistance, $1500 for trip interruption.

Pack spare fluids like motor/transmission, and couple of gallons of water, check your spare tire, a flashlight with extra batteries.

Most of all drive carefully, the dessert is a dangerous place.
