Have fun bro ! I'll be there in late October myself.
Yeah this should be fun. Here to see old friends at Blackhat/Defcon, drive some exotic cars on the track, then hit the midget dwarf party. Weird, but always fun. First though I'm going to take a nap now that I arrived at the hotel.
Last time I was there, Rick found me at the War table after spending the afternoon with some friends at the pool, a complete slurring, sloppy drunken mess, smoking a cigar.
I haven't had a cigar in 15 years.
Vegas is a perfect place to leave one's vices: Drink to the point where I wake up drunk the next day? Sure. Smoke cigars at the craps tables or cigar parlors. Drive fun cars, why not. Dance all night at the clubs: Sure! Chat with the hookers, enjoy the view and the people on the strip, talk to everyone, go to a few security things, maybe give a talk at Bsides if I am drunk enough.
It's a good place for a few days, then you start to realize you're in a desert and the caviar and seafood and steaks only come because they are being flown in on airplanes. And if civilization collapses and those planes stop coming it will be bad fast. That is time to get out.
Did leave my flamethrower at home. I need to check with a cop to see if one can open carry a flamethrower on the strip.
And I look to see that Bitcoin is back above 7100, so the world will not end.
