I am at a Kinkos about two blocks from the Hardrock.
I was just at the corner by the HR and (I shit you not) saw Robin Finck. I was yelling at Mrs. Punk "Holy shit that is Robin!!" at first she didn't think it was, then I rolled down my window and yelled "Robin!!" And he looked up and waved. I said "Thanks for NYC, and we'll be seeing you tonight." He gave back a great big smile and walked (unnoticed by the people around him) right into the Hardrock casino. I still can not get over it. My wife grabbed the camera, but by the time I could pull around he was already in the building. Too crazy! This happened just about 5 o'clock.
In other news I can not find or have heard from Kujo. Last I talked to him was yesterday and his phone goes directly to voicemail. I have his ticket (I bought three) with me and don't know what to do. I am starting to get worried about him now. I actually came in to Kinkos to check my messages, thinking maybe he lost his phone or something. He said his flight was supposed to get into LV last night around 11:30. I still can't believe I haven't heard from the guy yet.
Post again Monday.........
Awesome! I am so jealous of you guys that made it to Vegas! I hope you have a kick ass time. The last time I was at the Hard Rock there I got pics with both Rob Zombie and Jerry Cantrell within like 10 minutes of each other. It was crazy!
If see Mr. Finck again, tell him I said hi!
I actually ended up seeing Finck again!
I was right by the tickets and he was sitting down with a light brown guitar case with the name "Robin" written in black sharpie marker. He was typing on his blackberry and nobody even noticed him. The line was all the way around the casino at this point and I think it was probably around 8:45 pm. I felt odd approaching him, so I sat there wondering if I should go up and say hi. I'm not the type to care about autographs although I would have liked to take a picture. Shortly after two girls came up and he hugged them both and they started talking and walked away.
Pretty crazy indeed. People in line told me they saw Axl walk right past everybody ( Mrs. Punk said everybody kind of went apeshit when it happened.)
I also met Sex Kitten and her friends from LA. She befriended Mrs. Punk and soon they were rocking right along side of us. Nice to meet you Sex Kitten.
