There is only 7 weeks left for Sam and I until we are jetting off to the land of the free. I have been busy organising our accommodation, car hire and researching places to go and things to do, but the first thing on our agenda in attending Viva Las Vegas for the very first time! I am so excited to be going. We got in early and booked a room at The Orleans about a year ago- I heard you’re not doing Viva right unless you are staying where all the action is!
One of the things I am looking forward to the most is meeting people. So if there are any people out there who read my blog and recognise my face at Viva, please come and say hello- I would love to meet you!
Of course I am excited for the music too. I think JD McPherson will be my highlight. All of my girlfriends are very jealous of me..hehe. I also get to see Big Sandy twice in one month, in two different countries! He is headlining Kustom Kulture 10, here in Adelaide, and is also playing a few spots around Melbourne and Brisbane next month. The pool party looks like a whole lot of fun, and I can't wait to get my very own Boot! Sam is looking forward to the car show, and seeing the Ventures will be a treat too.

If I see you I will totally say "Hi". I went last year for the first time, I saw a ton of bloggers but was to shy to say hello!
ReplyDeleteThe pre party on Wednesday on Fremont street, put on by Wild records was amazing. That is one of those things not promoted to outsiders very well, but was one of the highlights of my trip. Highly recommend it. It is worth the pricey cover.
Your gonna have a blast!
Oh please do come and say hello. I have heard about the wild pre-show, and I have been looking for info about it but I can't seem to find much at the moment...I love everyone on wild records! Yay, you have made me ever more excited (if that is possible!)
Deletex Molly
Oh i am so very very jealous!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to get that playsuit to you in time that you purcahsed through my etsy shop, will send it this week in fact. It will be purrrrfect for the pool party. As long as you promise to get some piccies of it with it's brand new owner. Will be great to see JD McPherson and so much great stuff to do!!! Every year i enjoy reading peoples VLV posts on here but always wish i could get enough saved to get there. One day one day :)
Yay, thank you miss. I have planned on doing a post once I get my playsuit, I can't wait :D
DeleteI have been wanting to go to Viva for a long time, but thought it wouldn't be much fun if I was under 21, and then I got engaged so we decided to go as our bleated honeymoon, so it has been a long time coming.

Awww lovely. Im sure it will be the best belated honeymoon anyone could ask for!! The playsuit actually came back from VLV a few years back with my friend who got it for me as a pressie so it will be awesome for it to go back there with you for a short stay :)
DeleteI went for the first time last year and I am going this year too! It will also be my birthday! If I can give any advice, make a clothing list and be sure to visit Frankie's Tiki Room! Also, try to visit the Neon Musem whilst there! The museum has amazing vintage neon signs on display and the guides give detailed historical information for each sign! http://www.neonmuseum.org/
DeleteIf you want to go to the museum, it is best to buy tickets online before you go.
I plan to do a blogger meet-up because VLV is huge! Meeting people by chance is very difficult if not impossible.
The meet up sounds great, Tara...I am definatly in! I'll have to buy your a birthday beverage!
DeleteWe have plans to go to Frankie's, and hopefully collect all the mugs ;) And the neon museum is also on my "to do" list, thanks for the website.

I currently live in vegas and have been attending Viva since i was 12 (im 18 now). Its always soo much fun and great memories are always created there. I will definetly say hi if i see you there!!
ReplyDeleteWow, 6 VLV's under your belt and your not even 21 yet! Please do say hello!
Deletex
I am also a VLV virgin and this is my first year. If I see you I'll be sure to say hello!
ReplyDeletePlease do! Only 5 weeks to go now...

I will come for France to VLV in April. It will be my second time there. I think that VLV is somtime too huge. Vintage market is the place to be for me! I would prefer a car show with some original 40's-50's cars, too much crazy customs for me!
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer european R&R weekenders but VLV is a nice excuse to make a long trip in California!!!!
Hope to see you there!
I have heard that it just keeps getting bigger and bigger each year, and one year I would love to make it over to europe for High Rockabilly.
DeleteI guess we will be seeing each other in the stalls ;)

Hi Molly!
ReplyDeleteI'm behind on my blog reading, but am glad to see you're making the long trip to Viva! There is an official unofficial meet and greet (aka Pea's Hooch and Smooch) on Thursday night. You should go if you're in by then! Frankie's is a definite must do - just be sure to leave enough room in your suitcase to take back all your mugs!
