#198 SEMA Day 3
5:27 AM
These blog posts would be a lot more thematic if I could show you some pictures, but I'm still going to have to steal a few pics from Stephen's phone. That's a chore.
This morning we headed out early to the SEMA show to be there before anyone else in hopes of Stephen meeting Ken Block and I meeting Richard Rawlings. Stephen was first in line for Ken Block, and about an hour later got to meet him face to face, as well as coming away with a signed Ken Block Gymkhana shirt I got him ages ago. I on the other hand was a little later meeting Richard, and Stephen managed to show up just as I was about to meet him.
Stephen is a poo head. I didn't really care to meet Richard Rawlings, I don't think I've got that gene that just goes goo-goo over celebrities or the need to meet them. But we needed his autograph for a friend of Stephen's, and Stephen was determined it would be me talking to Richard, not himself. So I awkwardly walked up and gave him a side hug, and ran away with a signed poster. Stephen's plan for me to frown during the photo didn't work, cause there were 30 standerbys that were eyeing me during the whole photo op.
I left SEMA early today, because my feet were killing me finally. Really not sure how Stephen has managed to go 8 hrs plus on his feet the past 3 days.
I headed back to the hotel, grabbed Panda Express on the way, and enjoyed watching Law & Order for 2 hours before I finally went back and picked Stephen up for the night.
Stephen told me it was my choice on dinner, and knowing me, he mentioned we should find a really great steakhouse. Well that's subjective around here, and steakhouses can run from $9 a steak (eek!) up to $120 per steak. We finally settled on a steakhouse in Eastside Cannery Casino Hotel.
We managed to have THE BEST RIB EYE OF OUR LIFE. Best steak of our life probably. We both went a little daring and decided we'd get our steaks rare. We've always been a medium rare kind of people, but we always wish for rarer. This was sublime. Melt in your mouth like butter sublime. So make sure to visit Carve for the best steak in Vegas for $25!
