It is 79 days until Viva La Vegas!
The time table has been posted, so I have attached it here for you. You can save it onto your computer, mark which bands you don't want to miss, print it and bring it with you! I have marked the bands I want to catch (with an *), allowing for meal and primp time, so I will probably see a lot more bands then what I marked. If you want to meet me, you can find me during those times!

SCHEDULE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE APPEARANCE OF ACTS AND EVENTS SCHEDULED.
So, there it is! What do you think? So far, I like that there seems to be an opening for people to eat and change, around 6pm-8pm when not too much exciting stuff is happening. I love that Hi Lo Playboys are the last band on, because that will be a killer way to end the weekend. I am sad to see that Karling Abbeygate is playing while the pool party is going on, because I wanted to make it to her set to support her. There is a lot of overlap, but I bop around to different rooms all the time to try and catch as much as possible. We will just have to see how it goes!

Contest Canceled!!!
Remember that pinup contest I entered? Well, some dishonest girls found out a way to trick the system, allowing them multiple votes. So, two girls had over 1,000 votes when the next highest was just over 100. So, the designer was forced to cancel the contest, and redo it on another website. But, now it is open to late comers that didn't make the first cut off. I am so bummed because I spent a lot of time and effort collecting votes the honest way, and now none of them count. I was doing pretty well too! Now I have to re-enter the contest, and ask people to vote all over again. I feel so bad that someone would do that to the designer, causing all of us to waste precious time. How disrespectful. I think they are allowed to re-enter the contest also, so that is discouraging to me. Anyway, I apologize to all of the readers who previously voted for me, because I am going to have to ask you to do it again in a few days when the contest restarts.
Sincerest apologies,
Dollie

Recent Purchases and Crafts Completed
I thought I would update you on a few recent purchased and craft projects.
I finished one out of two barkcloth pillows.
I got my 3rd lady head vase, a red head! $12
Pink kitchen canisters $24
Grease jar $8
Another piece of gold glitter set, a big leaf serving bowl $24
Gold celluloid vanity tray, now on the toilet, $12
Remember when I said that I was working on a painting?
Well, I finished it weeks ago, and never posted about it because I was not sure if I liked it or not.
Well, here it is! It is an atomic dead fish, duck/chicken and crab. Perfect for the kitchen! :)
I also got new patio furniture! This metal set, with a green chair,
a yellow glider,
and little cocktail table.
And to go with it, a new BBQ/Smoker!
I can't wait for summer now!

Big Sandy and Blue Collar Combo at Webers
Last Friday we went to see Big Sandy at Weber's.
I wore the black sweater dress that Alana got me for Christmas.
Blue Collar Combo was the opening band for Big Sandy. The crowd seemed to show up early, so by the time they went on, there was already a huge crowd. Everyone was hootin and hollarin', dancing, drinking, and having a good time.
Zack singing "Bacon".
Travis, the lead singer and lead guitar
Zack, on acoustic rhythm
Brandon on the slap bass
The crowd. Love the cute little blonde with the black bow!
T Bone dancing with two lovely ladies.
Sierra, doing burlesque for the evening.
The main event, Big Sandy himself! As always, he was right on the mark. He did the songs that the crowd wanted, and took a ton of requests. The dance floor was packed, so you could tell everyone was having a good time.
Ashley!
T Bone and I
Alana, Me and Cara! I love these girls because they can party!
XOXO

Amber Foxx and Chris Sprage At Webers
A few Fridays ago I went to see Amber Foxx and Chris "Sugarballs" Sprague play at Weber's Rockabilly Friday Night. I never got around to posting it on here, so I thought I would today. Better late then never. Especially since I am home sick with a broken back today (more on that later).
I had just gotten my hair colored before the show, so I couldn't style it. So, here it is in its natural state. I try really really hard to get it to curl, because it is stick strait naturally. This is probably the only time you will see my hair strait. I wore a vintage sweater, my Freddies jeans, and my Remix shoes.
First up was my good friend, Amber Foxx! Isn't she just beautiful? She has the most amazing voice too.
She is hands-down my favorite female singer in the US at the moment, but I think I have mention that before.
Everyone loves dancing to Amber because she plays so many different styles, so you get to bop, stroll, jive, and swing!
Sally Jo and Deke
Pappy, Me and Zack
Burlesque by the beautiful Sierra! This was her first show! She did great.
Next up was Chris "Sugarballs" Sprague and His 18 Wheelers! The crowd always loves them, probably because Chris always puts on a show and makes it not just something enjoyable to listen to, but to watch too! He is such a ham on stage too, joking around all the time. What fun!
Lifting up Sugarballs while he plays guitar. That monkey!
Dave, Deke, Zack, Pappy, Sugarballs and Bobby
Look at this new sweet ass merch sign that Sandra made! What a good wife.
The DJ of the night, Rockin' Vic dancing with Alana
Amber and I.
What a fun night!

VLV Countdown: You Ain't Doin' Viva Right If...
Today's post it just for fun. It's very tongue and cheek, so if you are easily offended, you may want to turn back now. Personally, I think its just good 'ol Viva fun, but sometimes I am a bad judge about what offends people.
The idea came from the "You Might Be A Redneck If" joke. I initially wanted to do "You Ain't Been To Viva If", and talk about how people say they went to Viva, but in reality they just stayed at the hotel, didn't get a wristband, went to the car show for only 15 mins, and spent the rest of the time going to clubs at The Palms: Here is your sign: You Only Went to Vegas, You Haven't Been To Viva! That would have been hilarious, but, we decided this way would be a little more kosher. Zack helped me write these, so maybe you can pick put which ones he did, and which ones I did.

That would have been hilarious, but, we decided this way would be a little more kosher. Zack helped me write these, so maybe you can pick put which ones he did, and which ones I did.
You ain't doin' Viva right if...
You don't have a wristband.
You don't have a fully stocked room bar.
You don't pack your own specialized "Hangover kit."
You wake up early enough to actually catch the breakfast hours.
Once Viva has started you still go to the strip.
You are in bed anytime before 3am.
You wear jeans and tee shirts all weekend (guys or gals).
You've never taken a morning hangover bath with a glass of champagne.
You don’t go to the 24hr café drunk at 4-5am, multiple times during the weekend.
You don’t get a boot.
You only go Saturday.
You’re not on the dance floor.
You leave without at least one new music purchase.
You barf at any point.
You leave without stories, quotes, and camera full of pictures.
You don’t see a ton of stuff you want to buy at the vendors.
If you don’t make a least one new friend.
If you don’t run into a least one old friend.
You get into a fist fight and get thrown out.
If you leave and still look as good as when you came.
You don’t find at least one informal “jam session.”
If you leave with money (unless you won it gambling).
At some point you DON’T highly consider putting all your spending money on red or black.
You actually put all your money on red or black! You have music and vintage clothes to buy dummy!
You don’t accidentally call Fuddrucker’s “Ruddfucker’s” in a drunken stupor.
You don’t order $1.00 Pabst at the buffet.
You’re not walking through the ballrooms saying to yourself, “I’d do her and her and…” Or girl version “I’d do him and him and…”
You don’t take advantage of your free bowling coupon.
You don’t buy at least one person a drink.
You don’t go to at least one room party, or find yourself in anyone else’s room at some point in the weekend.
You don’t go to the Orlean’s Mexican joint happy hour for half-off appetizers and $1 margaritas.
You sleep more then you are awake.
If you don’t have a Mai Tai, Mojito, or other “tiki” drink by the pool.
You don’t take your drink into the bathrooms to take advantage of the in-stall cup holders.
You aren’t carrying around a flask full of “bonus cocktail.”
While at the car show you don’t join in a discussion about how the car show was so much better on the top deck at the Gold Coast.
While filling your plate at the buffet you don’t put gravy over everything.
If you don’t pack at least 5 pairs of shoes.
You actually want to leave when the weekend is over.
When you do leave, you aren’t already anticipating next year.
I hope you had as much fun reading this as we did writing it!
XOXO
Dollie
