I'll skip ahead to Wednesday night, at the OLight presentation. At 7:50 you can see me, GP John, and Todd enter the presentation - we were late because of that gayass shiithead security crew of the Encore/Wynn Hotel enterprise. Did I mention how much the security crew of those two hotels SUCK?! I think I've mentioned it, but I won't hesitate to mention it again, in case anyone missed it. At any rate, here's the OLight presentation that we attended. Here's me, lumbering in across the camera footage - had no idea that they were recording, or streamed this live...

Cerakote had these signs above every urinal in every bathroom in the entire place...

For the record, now that the pistol (The Alien) that Lancer is importing - they stated that they were out there for Industry Range Day. I didn't see a Lancer booth on the range that day, and I pretty much hit up everything out there. That means I fucked up - and missed it. I'm kicking myself for that, right now, and for awhile...

So, planned on getting up there to hit Industry Range Day, and arrived a little before it started, at 1pm. Was scheduled for 1pm~3pm. Went right to the Daniel Defense section, which was amazing - they actually had two ranges there. Bolt guns, .308 and 6.5 C gas guns were on the same range. Very impressive. If you look at their bolt gun below - first, they make their own stock from compression-molded carbon fiber - same thing that Rob does to make his .338 LM magazines. Of note, this color is "experimental" and they don't know if they're going to make it or not. I strongly urged them to - it's badass. What you can see in this pic is the black section below the action - that's actually their "bedding block" that supports the whole rifle. Much badassery in this bolt gun. Hit up the usuals on the next-up-the-hill range, and it's their pistol, Mk12, 14.5" 5.56 gun, the Mk18... Next up was Battle Arms Development - impressive display: There was alot more there that got shot, and it was all really nice. Nemesis Arms... you'll hear more about them later - but I'm gonna own one of those things in 338 LM. After Range Day was shut down and the range went cold - it was beer in the lodge. Met Omar Crispy Avila in there, and thanked that amazing man for being such an inspiration. Awesome guy. Off to the city, to check in to the hotel...

Sweet dear little cute Baby Jesus... You're loading 50-70? That has to be a crazy round. Damn, man.

Who's in? We're shooting on Superbowl Sunday, 2 Feb 2020. @JBMatt and Tommy are in, I'll wrangle Gun Pusher John into it, with some other locals. @MikedaddyH has has this one on his calendar for awhile now. JBMatt, Tommy and I are heading out there sometime Saturday afternoon, and camping overnight. Come one, come all - it's wide open if you wanna attend - and can get here. @Merle, you in, brother?

She can be wrong-handed, and I'm okay with it. She's in the back of a truck on a blanket, and barefoot... with a rifle...

Chuch "The Iceman" Liddell. Me and Gun Pusher John got a second with him for a pic - and he thanked us for wanting a pic. That's a bad motherfucker.

The Lancer Alien pistol is without a doubt the most innovative thing I saw this year - I can't even explain it. I'll try tofind vids on it. It'll be mid-year before this is released. I wish I would have found it sooner, but it took until Friday and the end of the day before Greg said, "You NEED to go over to Lancer's booth and look at this thing!" https://lancer-systems.com/product/laugo-alien-signature-edition-pistol-50-deposit/

That's a damn good writeup, Jim.

I don't know who had them, but I couldn't find them. I have a ton of patches, though. The Aero Precision ones are pretty excellent. It'll take me awhile to sort and go through all the stuff I brought back.

Guess you found a new home. We will miss you.

^^^ That was in "The Birdcage" - that's where the massive bar tab was originated. After that, things went sideways...

Rob got lap-danced. He didn't know it was coming, he was attacked. I can't be held responsible for this, as I did not record it. However, I did warn Bob that it was about to go down. Bob Langley gets credit for this vid, all the way. Fuckin' WELL DONE, BOB!

I'm down. I'll gladly enter back into the Wynn and Encore with my "military style backpack" and take them on again. It wasn't a black thing. My pack was tan. They let all the black "military style backpacks" go right through. They have something against tan - it's a brown thing. Racist fuks. It was worse for Rob. WAY worse. What a difference a day makes. I think they'd had enough of me, and the next day decided to make an example out of him. I'm sorry, Rob. I didn't intend that. If I could have planned some Next-Level Shiit like that out, it would have been epic, but at this point in the trip, the furthest I could plan was "what's on the breakfast menu..."...

The small flat red Lee box is another set of .30 Carbine Dies. The cylindrical red Lee can is 30-06 Match dies. Those are the only two that aren't labeled. Lots of calibers amongst us.

Taking advantage of me while I was gone. I saw the comments, you fuckers...

I think I love her.

Yeah, it's actually available...

Definitely necessary. Damn, would that have been handy on Friday.

Those clown-asses at Wynn and Encore are jealous, because they've heard the stories of those 4 dudes that work the upper levels of the MGM Grand. Those are some serious, no-BS motherfuckers over there. Paul Blart is more badass than those assmonkeys at Wynn and Encore.

SHOT was solid, brother. Those fuktards that they hired at the Wynn and Encore are fucking "I think I'm Delta-ST6-DevGru-HALO-SCUBA-Marine Recon-JumpMaster-12-sandwich-eating-motherfucker" fags. They're a joke. Never seen such ass-clownery in my life. Inside those two hotels, you're protected by guys that think they're GRS. But they're far from being qualified to mop up a Basic Training Mess Hall. Total buffoonery. When I left Encore that night, I made a big wave to the "Chief of Security" and yelled, "THANKS FOR PROFILING ME, FUKKER!!!" I had a run in with them on Wednesday night. They detained Rob on Thursday night... Back room interrogation, I think he was probed. Can't confirm...
