I’d like to go to Vegas sometime. I don’t gamble but would like to see the place that gave birth to the snowclone “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. I think there’s a good chance it’ll disappear/collapse soon due to climate change, and I want to see the “before” of a monument to man’s hubris that spits in the face of water usage.
Have you been to Acme Comedy Club in the twin cities? I’m on their mailing list and they semi-regularly send me breathless emails like “WE’VE BOOKED THIS PERSON”. I don’t know if I’m just out of touch or if they’re exaggerating the importance of the shows, but I don’t really recognize any of the names. I should probably just remove myself from their mailing list I guess
None of the comedians I like ever make it to the Twin Cities, it’s weird. They’ll perform in Wisconsin or Des Moines then go out west skipping us entirely. Do Minnesotans just generally not like comedy? It’s weird.
I just don’t make it down to the cities that often. That’s a day trip at my age.
