Vegas Baby
by Brooke Geery
This year I got to go to the SIA Trade Show in Las Vegas, aren't you jealous? You shouldn't be. Vegas is a dirty, evil place that's hot in the middle of the winter (although I was told it was cold this year) with lots of hookers and showgirls. The SIA Trade Show is a trade show, which translates as a bunch of people talking. After approximately 20 minutes, and 30 or so Peter Line sightings, I was over it. Luckily, they provide a large amount of alcohol at the various parties through out the weekend, enough to keep anyone interested for at least a few days. One of the more notable events was the Transworld Rider's Poll Awards, but they were still pretty lame. I don't really wish to rehash the weekend any further, so I'm putting up some pictures, and if you want the full story, check out Bluetorch.
Here's a fun trivia question: How much dental work has Mikey Leblanc had done? Ethan Fortier says two, and Scotty Witlake is going with one, but you decide.
I just put this picture up because Shane Charlebois is wicked hot. Greg Goulet has his moments.
Not many people know that Josh Dirksen is the illegitimate child of Mark Frank Montoya, probably because it's not true.
