hugmeI got up early to go to panels, received an offer to go to circus-circus bit declined because of all the things I needed to do. Optyx's panel ended up being the best one by far. I went to the dealers room to see if any prices had dripped. Hac-Sec sold all of their T-shirts. This was good. I picked up some books 3 to be exact, met up with Cheshire Catilist and we went to lunch at the Pink taco.. He was flying out that day. I talked to him about speaking at Atlantacon, I think he will. I got back and everyone was cleaning up. I helped colleen Clean up her booth and carry the T-shirts back to her room.We hung out for a while talking about random things. 3D rendering, phones.. odds and ends. I was tired, I headed out to the pool and talked to Rockit and Monster, they were leaving. Elonka was there and told me I could crash with her so I moved my stiff from monsters room to hers. she had little goth boy as a roommate. I hung out on the couch with him and his friend 1/2 sleeping.
I was invited to go out to a restraunt, it was pretty neat, there was a belly dancer, we had a 7 course meal and acted pretty obnoxiously the entire time. I took lots of pictures, one of the guys had a hooker named Kelly he claimed followed him in and she sat with us. we sat pretty much on the floor. the seats were only about 8" high. kelly kept offering 'services' for a con badge... I believe a couple of the guys took her back to their room..... ick
When I got back to the hotel I hadn't taken many pictures of Las Vegas so I walked down to the strip and got as many as I could. I didn't thing they turned out that great. I spent a while there and my feet were REALLY sore when I got back. I got on one of the pool side lounge chairs and found that something had just happened. There was a group of non-defcon people who had checked in. From what I herd they had been picking on the defcon people and making racial slur's (they were all black). Apparently a guy and girl from this group got into a fight by the pool, the guy had gotten his ass kicked. While I was there he was walking around saying he would get his gun and kill all you white guys. He then left. About 3 minutes later there was a commotion behind the bool house. everyone went over to the area. My friend Dave was
being held down aby 3 Huge guys while 4 guys were talking turns kicking him in the face. Optyx and I grabbed Dave and the 4 guys jumped me. I was held down by my hair while being hit and kicked in the face. It was enough however for Optyx to free Daniel. As soon as I saw this I freed myself, grabbed Daniel and made for the closest open door I could find. this dispersed the group. I sat Daniel down on the couch and got him Ice packs. checked his pupils. his entire right frontal lobe was black, he couldn't see out of his right eye anything but rainbows. and he front teeth were chipped up pretty badly. I packed his head in ice and got some tissue for me. My nose had been broken and I was bleeding badly. My eye had swollen to baseball size, I herd the helicopter and ran outside. The police then showed up. They called an ambulance and I escorted Daniel there where they took him to the hospital. Most of the rest of the night was filling out police reports , hotel reports and security reports.
I couldn't sleep so I walked around a bit and caught up with Optyx, Dystic and crew. We sat around and talked for a while. I joined the sunrise goup again, Daniel was back he looked MUCH better. I went to bed
