  I came, I saw, I conquered...Reno (Nevada).   

  The jetlagged really killed me this time though. 

  Now I did say I have a video blog, but that will probably have to wait, because we filmed our rehearsals and may actually use the footage for a future MV!  Woohoo. 

  For those of you who don't know, my dad had a show at the Event center in Reno NV (near Harrah's).  We were all quite suprised to find the venue was nearly full.  Despite the economy going to shambles, I think a lot of people had a great time just listening to dad sing.  Brother Ryan and I tagged along for the show and we brought along newcomer Justin to sing some Elvis and also sing our debut song (remix of dads tune).  Special guest was Shannon Lee.   

  Someone was bound to put up the clip, so here's a few seconds of our english vers:

  There's a total of 6 clips floatin' on youtube.  Check em out.

  I didn't realise I had to go up on stage so many times.  I was running back and forth, but overall I was really happy with the results. 

  I've gathered pics from everybody so I can share them with you here.  So enjoy them!

  

  Outside our Hotel room.  It was freezin', but my kind of weather.  You knew Christmas was coming.  I was trying to win some money to buy gifts this year...oh well, looks like ya'll are gettin' cards instead.

  

  Our pimpin' ride.  While the stage and sound was being built, we got to spend a day shopping.  This baby took us to Target, Best buy and the MALL!!  Hot topic and spencer here I come! hahahah

  

  Group photo just before spending $$.  Dad lookin' all cozy.

  

  Justin and I just had to take snapshots in the limo.  This is how we travel.  Now where's our Limo for the China shows?

  

  Mr. Ass getting in on the action.

  

  Trying to look cool, but you know, we're just fools.

  

  Ryan burning his lips on some hot chocolate.  The miskeen jacket kept me nice and warm.

  

  Yep, we celebrated thanksgiving in the hotel room.  Shannon came to join the party and sing with us on stage.  Her mom joined in on the fun as well.  I'll let you guess who is who in the pic.

  
  

  Justin serenades singing Elvis to the hotel staff as they bring the mass amounts of food.  Dad backs up on the guitar. 

  When I mean mass amounts of food...I really meant it.

  

  

  Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without chinese food. hahahah

  Onwards to the show:

  

  All the pics were taken during rehearsals.  Thanks Kin for the pics!  Here Justin and I are sportin' our top notch clothes.  Custom jackets blinged to the max to match Elvis. 

  

  Then we stripped into our T's, while Justin still wore the Elvis wig.

  

  I'm trying to get my rap down.  Dancers started to join in.  The song was a last minute add-on so we were really happy the girls came out to support us.

  

  Oh yea, oh yea, oh yea.

  

  say whhhhat?  Go ladies, go ladies, go ladies.

  

  Now do the humpi...errrr hustle...umm the train!

  

  Me trying to be all Celine Dionish...Justin just giving up on me.

  

  The lovely wonderful dancers.   Thanks to them, they made the stage more enjoyable to watch.  The guy in blue Herbert was the dance choreographer.  I tried to make him come up on stage and freestyle, but he wouldn't.  What a loser.  I'm forcing him next time.

  

  Celebrating with the crew with a fantastic show.  Whiskey straight up in shots.  OH NO!  I was pretty messed up trying to play slot machines.  No wonder I lost.

  Well that was fun.  Ryan sang dads hit songs and rocked it out on the guitar.  Shannon did a beautiful job on "somewhere out there" for her father.  Of course dad brought down the entire house pretty much the whole time.

  The show finished as fast as we arrived.  Does that make sense?  Next thing we knew we were on our way back to San Fran airport.  We only did one show, so it was like zip in n' zip out. 

  

  We went on a fast food binge on the way back to the airport.  Carls Jr, Jack n'the box and Dennys. mmmm. 

  The news talked about the attacks in India.  It was like another world.  Here we were entertaining people, while others were attacking.  So sad.

  

  Our final pitstop.  San Fran airport.  We had to stock up on magazines.  I actually bought the twilight book due to all the hype.  I felt like a real girl.  Now I gotta finish it, cause I'm almost done.  *giggles*

  Next stop, MACAU VENETIAN!!! 

  Buy your tickets!  Who wants to see me act like a fool?
