Vegas Vacation, Part Two: “The Envelope”

June 18th 2006 by E..

I left off Part One just as I was about to get into the FezSpotting pictures, but I figured I wouldn’t break them up over two posts (and no, I didn’t get to meet Davy Jones, and besides, he was really sweaty)…

Everyone was given an eBay Live! tote bag at their registration, and inside were some goodies from various companies…among other things was a copy of the eBay Community Cook Book, which features recipes from eBay people, as well as other notable folks…one of those noteable folks is a young lady named Sonya Thomas…you may have never heard of her, but she is one of the best competitive eaters in the world…when we were in Cleveland last year (July 4th weekend), we saw Sonya interviewed on CNN right before she went to Nathan’s Famous on Coney island for their annual hot dog eating contest…I believe she came in second, which is still an incredible feat…she has won many other competitions, and wrote a recipe for the eBay Cook Book…anyway, she was there on Wednesday to sign her recipe, and to take pictures, so I went over to have my picture taken, and she gladly wore my Fez in the shot…

eBay Live! was pretty time-consuming…what with taking forever to get there, and having to wait around for more pins to be given away, we didn’t have too much free time besides the night time, and a lot of places close earlier than we remembered…we got a chance, though to go to the M&M’s World store, and the World of Coca-Cola store, where I did my annual act of masochism, the “Tastes Of The World”…16 cups of Coca-Cola products from around the world for $7.00…I will be posting about this in themainfizz sometime soon, so look forward to that!…after I got better (by the 12the cup of soda I was feeling icky), we went over to meet Sonya and to take the above picture (don’t you just love non-linear train of thought?)
