| taken from Vegas 2009 |
I arrived Thursday night and enjoyed the 3.99 steak & eggs at the host hotel café. Any time I can spend less than $5.00 on food, Sheona is all over it like Grimace’s vomit in the gutter after… well any night really. The best tasting part was the bill though.
Friday afternoon was spent visiting my dad who lives in Vegas… my obligatory once a year visit. I’m glad I had no car this year. Makes it easier for short visits! Lunch ended and I went back to the hotel for a nap. I wish it could have been a breakfast meet up with my dad because that all-you-can-eat buffet with the Seattle/Hawaii crew sounded like a dream come true!
Registration was later, and alcohol was flowing and the marys were feeling NO pain! This is evidenced by all the lovely video and photos involving many scandalous things… like a BYE GIRL tranny grinding up some dirty dance moves with HOMOSEXUALS! (disgusting!) and also some messy marys doing body shots off of a server at the Freezone bar. This may or may not have included the following: Grimace, Auntie Aaron, Sali, JenJen, Lefty Justin, and Shelf Bootay! I’m sure there were more but Sheona can only handle so much camera work. We all waited for midnight to head back to the host hotel where a large group gathered for the midnight to 6:00am $3.99 steak and egg special.
Saturday morning started off with more of a whimper than a bang. The ghetto courts were not ready or available for the participants to begin on time. In fact, the net they tried to set up was held together with Velcro straps in the middle! Yall, I haven’t see anything like this since we used duct tape and a piece of rope as a volleyball net back at the trailer park. They finally fixed the situation and pool play started. I will say that the pool that Sheona’s team was in was definitely the hardest pool in the gym. Hawaii, Chicago Findfred.com, San Francisco Freeball, and Aca Beach… all these teams remained in the winners bracket for most of the tournament play on Sunday, so you know it was the tougher of the pools. Sheona’s twin showed up on Saturday as he has been staying in Vegas for physical therapy. It was great to see him, but I’m sure he was bored with all the down time. I went to dinner with Phil(thy) and my grandma and then back to the hotel. I joined my teammates to head to the Wynn tower suites to join Jim Holt for his 30th birthday celebration. Drinking games began and unfortunately Sheona’s cell phone was out of batteries. Otherwise, she would have been snapping for DAYS with all the tragic kissing and other events going on… One Seattlite was most scandalous in the massage room with a few of the boys!!! The PRICE was RIGHT that night, that’s for damn sure! I do believe Houston’s Mattress also got married that night, but we can leave those details for her to share with us… (or just instant message Sheona on facebook for the deets!)
Sheona had enough of that mess and went back to her hotel for beauty sleep (she needs LOTS AND LOTS of it!). Mattress and KeKe headed over to Freezone for a bit. Mattress came home, KeKe simply showed up to the gym the next day. YOU GO BITCH! Werq!
Sunday started off painful. It was early, we were all tired trannys, but everyone showed up and we started off pool play. We first played Pure Energy, and it was pure easy. I pulled my right calf on this match and just had to keep it moving and stretched out the rest of the day. This was followed by a match with LAPD. The first game had some drama after our win. Apparently LAPD didn’t like a few double calls the ref made at very non-crucial moments in the game (losing by a margin of at least 4-5 points), so they decided to protest the match to determine if the ref was certified. Turns out, he was fully NAGVA certified. The loss was legit. Game 2 started and was over in a blink. ‘Chicago’ said “bye girl!” to the first 2 LA teams we faced. The next match would take place a few hours later against Hawaii. The wait was horrendous, but we had no choice. We finally faced off against what I would call the best defensive team in the gym. They beat us the first game, but we rallied and came back the next two games. The game was OOVA and Hawaii was sent to the losers bracket. This match was super close and the Hawaiians gave us a run for our money. I loved playing against them because they are so friendly and always smiling… well except Cliff. She was probably ritaz and hung over. After this match, we were all sent packing over the UNLV for the remaining rounds of play. Next match up was against yet another team, Aca Beach. We took them down in 2 solid games. Sheona FINALLY clicked with her setter and bashed a couple of middle sets down! Luckily I had my calf wrapped up tight in a compression sleeve so it helped out a lot.
We watched the remaining losers bracket matches to determine who we would face off in the finals. Aca Beach vs. Phoenix for the semi-final, and Phoenix rallied to beat Aca Beach! So, we would face off against Phoenix Thunder in the finals. The match was fun but really, I think Phoenix was either out of gas, or just couldn’t handle the make up of our team… Phoenix was easily defeated in 2 games. Sheona had the dig of her life with a one fist dig nobody thought she’d get shortly followed by the worst mangled set of her LIFE! I felt like the Grimace when my claws came out and tried to shred that ball to pieces. Oh well. I did my thang on the right side, shutting down the outside hitter from Phoenix, who later won tournament MVP for the A Division… Really? I mean… really? How the hell is that determined? Did anybody voting actually watch the finals? She had nothing. One Sheona roof block and she was done. She couldn’t even tip effectively after that. Their best options were their silver fox daddy middle and lefty drunk oppo Ms. Heath and the daddy setter just dumping the ball. Phoenix was dispatched and Chicago Findfred.com found Gold.
Tony from our team received an all star award for his performance… but no one else earned an award. Victoria was amazing with her serving and hitting from the outside… Ricardo was the one of the best “male” passers and liberos by far I have ever played with… Mattress was crackin down balls over and past blocks all day long… KeKe was workin that back slide for days (when the set was above the tape! Lol), Sheona was putting up some aluminum siding WALLS she salvaged from her trailer on the right side block… While I can’t say I’m surprised I didn’t get any award (as my performance this weekend was stifled by a pulled right calf which screwed my timing up), I was rather in shock that our Libero or outside hitters had no mention. I really think in order for any all-star voting system to work, all games need one vote per game per team. How in the world the MVP goes to a person who was almost non-existent in the final is beyond me. But congrats to her for your performance before the finals match. I guess you must have earned it earlier in the day!
The rest of the trip had little to mention. Many of the marys went to Revolution… Sheona got her own room and visited with Saia and Mike who were across the hall, but Sheona is classy and will not be mentioning the rest of the evening/morning. Smooches!
Dish from the double-wide,
Sheona
