Bill Cosby

We went to see Bill Cosby last night at the Horseshoe Southern Indiana Casino. He was great. at 71 he still has it. I thought ken was going to die laughing. The only real draw back to the show itself was that we were packed in like sardines. But once you got laughing you didn't even notice it. I loved his ability to roll with the crowd. He does great on improv. Seeing him is something I have wanted to do my whole life. I am just thrilled to have been able to do it.

Before we went to the show we went and had dinner at legends, the bar/restaurant at the casino. The food was good but the 45 min wait kind of sucked. I was really hungry when I got in there. I had a martini, chocolate of course. Yum.

After dinner I went to the bathroom and was amazed/shocked to see a sharps disposal box on the wall. Way to say "go ahead and shoot up in public". Kinda weird in my books. Hell in vancouver people where complaining about a needle exchange program in some out of the way biulding. In indiana you just need to go to a local casino to dispose of your needles.

After dinner and before the show we went and gambled a bit. The smoke in the place was enough to make me nauseous. It is amazing that they still allow people to smoke in public places in Indiana. Get with the times guys! I don't want to have to breath that crap! I likely would have stayed longer but the smoke was awful. When I got home I jumped in the shower and scrubbed the smell from my body. And I guess on the bright side I left before I could lose all my money.

The Casino was only about a 30 minute drive from home. A pleseant suprize since I had thought it was closer to an hour drive.

It is wonderful you got to do something you have wanted to do your entire life. I am glad for you :)

As for the needle thing, there are two points for that. One, it's also good for people with insulin. Two, would you rather people keep the dirty needles and spread the diseases? Having one of those things around is the lesser of two evils, because people who do those kind of drugs will do it regardless. Doing the drugs is still illegal and if you are caught you will still get punished to the extent of the law, but at least somewhat less diseases and problems get spread around.
