Har har har….Rachel here with the latest and greatest news of all! Well, not really…but still! LOL. I’m here at home once again. My time at Lumos was the greatest and I will never forget all the wonderful peope I met and the exciting things I did. Truly fantastic. So here I am, with some *EXCLUSIVE* photos that I took while in Vegas. I won’t be adding all of them here since it would take ages to upload, but I will put up the ones I think are pretty neat-o!
This was during the podcast. —^
Mr. Simz!
One of the many hallways of the JW.
Oh no! It’s the Dark Mark on Eric’s hand!
I swear to god I love this picture…. ^.^
Alex from the Remus Lupins! I love this guy….
Where you going, Ben? o.O
Emerson…..what a guy!
*sigh* Boys….
And that’s all for now, folks! I have lots of other photos to share but I’m ridiculously tired (work wears me out). But I hope that satistifies you guys for now! I’m outties, peeps!
Ahhhhhhhhh! I am having so much fun here at Lumos. It’s so great to FINALLY meet everybody. For the juicy details……
1. I went to Emerson’s suite and finally got to meet the boys. Emerson is actually A GREAT GUY. *gasp* I kid. :P He is really nice and I got to snap a few interesting pictures of him and Ben. *wink wink* LOL. I promise to update the blog with the photos I have.
2. I met the infamous Eric Scull and he’s also a really great guy. He gave me a flower people! Awwwwwwww….what a sweetheart. He had a special “popcorn reading” last night that Laura, Brandi, Elysa, and I attended – it was quite fun and interesting. So that was fun.
3. I met K’lyssa and Brendan!!!!! *dances* They are teh awesome, you guys. No really, they are.
4. Andrew Simz! I met him as well…..and guess what he had to tell me! I am officially a SENIOR STAFFER on MuggleNet! *dies* I love that kid. :D OOooh, and who can forget our favorite Brit? I met Jamie as well! Wheeeeeee! He’s so *British* and so polite.
5. I’ve been taking photos like crazy and hope to take a picture with at least everyone on staff and then have that as proof that I met the boys that every little fan girl dreams of doing…..LOL. I’m quite wired (with having a bunch of coke) and I may sound a bit crazy right now, but I’m sure you’d be exactly the same if you were in my shoes.
6. I love our hotel room….For the past two nights, I’ve been sleeping with the lovely Laura Thompson! :D How many people can actually say that? Not many…and that’s what rocks. The girls and I have been out REALLY late and have pulled all nighters since we got here. No joke. But you know what? It doesn’t matter! I’m in Vegas, baby! Woooo!
The podcast is tomorrow and I am going to take as many pictures as possible! So keep an eye out ladies!

Hello, all! We have had an exciting week so far! On Monday we went to see the Bodies exhibit at Tropicana and it was amazing. The closest restaurant that we could easily find was Hooters, so we walked the whole way to Hooters (post-decidign not to get on the New York New York coaster since it’s fairly expensive) only to find out that there was an over 21 section in the restaurant and an under 21 section. The under 21 section had a 1 hour wait, so we went to The Dam Restaurant, which was also inside the Hooters Hotel.
On Tuesday we met up with K’lyssa and Eric to goto the Eiffel Tower, but the ticket line was SO FREAKING LONG and we got sidetracked because Elysa wanted a milkshake. We failed to hail a taxi by Paris, and so walked the whole way to the Bellagio to try and get a cab. We didn’t manage to get a cab, but we did get gelato, excluding Elysa, who finally got her milkshake. (They took so long, however, that they probably went and milked a cow fresh for her.) On the way out we stopped for a fountain show, which was decent, but nothing too awesome.
Finally, we walked to Caesar’s and got a taxi after a long wait. I (Jess) taxied with Brandi & K’lyssa to the Stratosphere and Laura, Elysa, and Eric shared another taxi. When we got there, we got our tickets fairly quickly, but Eric took over 30 minutes in the gift shop buying nothing spectacular. Many death threats ensued.
After an hour or more’s wait, we finally got to go up the tower. A couple photos were taken before we went up and the backgrounds were added on later, I will scan them as soon as I get home! Their elevator takes you up 130 stories in 27 seconds and your ears pop like on a plane. SO AWESOME! Brandi & K’lyssa held everyone’s stuff because they didn’t want to ride, and Laura and Elysa only had tickets for Thriller, a claw which dangles you off the side of the building. Eric and I bought tickets for everything, so to save time, we decided to get on Big Shot (A ride that shoots you up to the top of a needle on the Stratosphere for an AMAZING view of Vegas. I will get Eric to give me the photos he took to post!
Elysa and Laura nevergot go on their ride and Eric and I didn’t get on anything but Big Shot because the tower shut down due to heat lightning. :(
Last night (Wednesday night) was a LeakyMug staff party. We were all really nervous at first but after we had a mini-staff meeting directed by Melissa and sat in a circle, things got much more relaxed. Kay kicked Emerson’s ass at Dance Dance Revolution so many times, and a great time was had by all!
And now… what you’ve all been waiting for: PHOTOS!!! (Please comment on this entry if you have comments, and not on the Rock You website!)
Video and audio to come when I use my laptop. Elysa’s is killing me!!!
So I’m starting to pack my things for Vegas and let me tell you, I am SO EFFING EXCITED!! Some complications arose and I was unable to get there on Sunday along with the other girls. I cannot wait to see Elysa, Laura, Jess, Brandi and K’lyssa. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *goes crazy*
Let’s hope that I can get there on Tuesday and spend more time with the girls. Okay, so I really need to start packing…..Hehe. Ok, I’ll be back with more info when I get confirmation about my secure departure time. To think, I only have to drive for 4 hours (living in So-Cal is the *BEST*) and boom! Vegas, here I am!
See you ’round kiddies! *waves*
Edit: Turns out I can’t get out of work early. So that means I have to go to work tomorrow and THEN leave for Vegas. *angst* Mark my words though: The second I step foot in Vegas, the girls won’t be allowed to sleep tomorrow night. I’m going to keep them all night long. ;) AHHH! I CANNOT WAIT!
