The Annual Vegas Man-Trip
Every year this rally cry from Jacob Rhoades comes at an earlier date. In about 10 years it will actually coincide with the previous year's trip.

And that, I think, was the handle - -that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
Men.
The engaged. The married. The working. We simple, stupid Men.
It's March 1st, which means we're 3 months away from June. Which means its time to start thinking of forced air conditioning, brutal desert sun, and the nice, oh so very nice, swimming pools of Las Vegas - its spanish for...The Vegas.
June 7-10th. A celebration - and a funeral of sorts. Yours truly turns 30.
Start mulling it over. Put it in the calendar. More info to come in the forthcoming weeks.
Jacob

Well, Its a sign of the times my friend. Gone are the days of "Vegas: 3 weeks" and everyone goes. Now you are all getting hitched, married, kiddified...seriously, how statistically has no one come out gay by now?
Not that being gay would prevent someone from having a good time, especially with Senor dogballs joining.
Truth be told, its not earlier every year. I've had March 1 in my outlook calendar as a recurring event to send the teaser. Which in a way, is much sadder than sending the alert earlier year after year.
The SADDEST thing of all is that Jacob will make three trips to Vegas between now and June.
