2VIGAN! A Trip To Las Vegas

Oct. 17-21

My bff Lotie + her partner Eris, brother Holden + his wife Lauren and I all went to Las Vegas for the WHEN WE WERE YOUNG 2024 emo fest. Amazing amazing amazing. The desert killed me physically but I loved it. We did the Strip, gambled a wee bit (like 20$ lol), thrifted a bunch, spent hours exploring Meowwolf's OMEGAMART, and did some tourist trap shit.

Question: What is 2VIGAN?
Answer:A mystery unto itself.

HOOBER DAM / LAKE MEAD

Not a lot of photos taken at Omegamart, but this was my fav part of the exhibit. The coke cooler in the back of the "store" opens to a chilly portal into time+space...

The following were taken with a different camera, my Campsnap no-screen digital psuedo-disposable cam. Really like that thing.

Our sick airBnB with heated pool and hot tub!

Seeing Motion City Soundtrack for the first time performing Commit This To Memory in full as the sunset... one of my favorite moments from the trip

My brother and I got super close for Fall Out Boy (considering the crowd space, anyway)... In the background you can see the set for the Folie A Deux performance

Before we left we had some time to kill so did some tourist shit like see the "Seven Magic Mountains" aka some weird art in the middle of the desert

Red Rock Canyon
