Surviving March 2008 -- PART I

Well kids -- I know that it's been a long time since I last blogged. BUT if you know me, you know it's because I have been so busy I can't even tell you what my name is on a good day. This has to do with the fact that it has been Playboy Spring Break 2008 and Rock the Rabbit at SXSW this month -- a.k.a the ultimate test of the "dirtay thirtay" and my ability to hang while maintaining a level of professionalism. You will be pleased to know, that not only can I still hang, but I can do it with flair and finely honed dance skills that can take me from the trenches of Spring Break (SQUID ROE!) to the mean hipster streets of Austin TX during SXSW. The only thing that didn't really survive the past ten days was my voice -- but who needs to talk when you can sign? (not really, but I do have a blackberry and dance moves that can tell a story about using a lint brush in a grocery store)

So, I made it to Mexico in one piece...brand new inflexible passport in hand. The first day was spent "getting aquainted" with my surroundings and co-workers. This included taking invenory of shipments that were sent to our attention (obviously everything we didn't need made it, and the stuff we needed was stuck in customs...duh.), eating the first all-inclusive meal, taking a shower with no water pressure and exploring the "7-24" a little room that served satisfying foods such as stale nachos with cold melted cheese and hot dogs that had clearly been sitting out for at least 10 hours. We hit the streets for Chris's birthday that night and somehow my co-worker Brian and I ended up hopping into a van with a bunch of virtual strangers and heading to Squid Roe, the ultimate Spring Breaker bar/club complete with Yard glasses and dancing on tables and people licking each other's faces. I am pretty positive Brian and I beat out Chris and Charlie for latest night. BOOM! 30 wins.

Anyway, I can't go over every minute of Spring Break, you would be bored. But some highlights like wet t-shirt contests,interviews with our college rep Willem, The Playboy Miss Mobile competition (which was an adventure in an of itself)and performances by David Sides (YouTube star and AWESOME guy) and of course Your Vegas (more about them later) can be seen on Playboy U. I'll post pics later...But for now, here's a video of Your Vegas playing pool side. Note how hungover they are, they are laughing at one point, probably thinking about finding Jon the night before dipping stale hot dog buns into a pot of Nacho cheese...by himself. Amazing:
