Vegas Recap : Day 3

In general when you go on vacation you remember to pack your camera, and when on a business trip you remember laptops, important papers, or whatever it is that is relevant to work, right? Apparently when I go on a trip that is a business vacation I get a little confused on how that all works. I obviously remembered my big camera for shoots but it slipped my mind that the week would contain a plethora of social events and I should double check that the little camera I carrying in my purse has a charged battery, or at least bring a charger with me!

Seeing as I didn’t do either of those last two things, I had to rely on my housemates and fellow photogs to document the “vacation” aspect of the trip. So, thank you to those that have been uploading photos and tagging them on facebook, next year I promise to do better.

Monday morning Cailyn and I got dressed in our black and white and headed over to the MGM for the first day of the tradeshow to work the Shootsac booth. It never crossed our minds while working to grab a picture, or it might have but the booth stays so busy that at the end of the day our mouths were dry from talking and we just wanted to get out of there and put up our aching feet and down some water (or in Cailyn’s case, Cranberry juice).

So thanks to Chris and Allie who walked by at somepoint and grabbed about 5 seconds of footage on their Flip. This is a screen caputre from their video, which you can see on their blog. Let’s just say, I must have been really into whatever Allie was saying!

UPDATE: it has been pointed out that there is a spelling error in the following image, i’ve never won any spelling bee’s so i’m not surprised but i will try to be more on point when typing in photoshop!

After we headed back to the house and had found our energy again it was time to head out to the [b] school party over at The Palms. The party was up in the famous REAL WORLD suite. I’m not going to lie, I felt a little like a rockstar when we approaced the elevator and we weren’t even allowed on before checking to make sure our names were on the list.

Here we are (Maya, Pat, Chris, Allie, Cailyn & I) in the phone area. MTV did a great job filming the show, that space is tiny compared to how it seemed on tv. Photo by Candice KausHagen.

Here we are again in the official [b] party photo booth, with the addition of Cathy Crawley in the middle. I ordered this print and am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival, I have the perfect frame waiting.
