Hey everyone.  Well a lot of you have been wanting updates of my trip so here it is.

Let's start with the first few days before the mansion.  I flew in on Thursday night and stayed with some great friends while I was there, we had a great dinner and a few drinks.  The next day which was Friday, I took my friend to work and borrowed his BMW convertable for the day and cruised around LA.  I started off by going to get some lunch at the world famous Pinks hot dogs, next I drove around Hollywood Blvd and saw the Stars on the street, up and down the Sunset strip checking all of the old time clubs like the Whiskey and the Roxy clubs where so many big bands have gotten their start.  After that I drove to Santa Monica Beach where I just walked around, put my feet in the ocean, and walked the pier.  I ended the night by going to a great restaurant in Hollywood called the Green Door.  There they had some good food, but the service was pretty bad.  There was also a club attached to it and after dinner we headed on over to it where they were having a Burning Man night.  Quite an eclectic crowd that night!

The Following day, Saturday was not too eventful.  We went to Point Dume beach in Malibu for a while then headed back to my friends house for a nice dinner and cocktails with a bunch of friends.  Another great day in LA!

Sunday was the big day!  It started out by driving to the parking lot where we had to board a shuttle bus to head to the mansion.  I knew that it would be a great day when I looked next to me and non other then Ron Jeremy was standing next to me checking in for the party.  Once I got to the Mansion the fun was about to be had!  The first thing I noticed was the Pool and Grotto, the stories that it could tell!  I had to take a moment to take it all in.  I looked around and automaticly saw Brandi Roderick.  I made sure that I went up to here and introduced myself to here and thanked her for picking me as the winner of the contest.  She was very nice and polite.

The game had already started when I got there so I decided to get a cocktail and food and watch a little of the game, which turned out to be pretty hard due to all the beautiful, half naked women walking around.   Throughout the night I would watch the game, walk around, drink, eat, meet people and have a great time.  I met Denise Richards, Ron Jeremy, Brett Michaels, and Brandi Roderick.  I saw Jeremy Piven there but didn't get a chance to chat with him.

After the game the bands started to play.  I don't have a clue who the girl group that played was, and they were ok.  I chatted with Brett Michaels before he went on to play and he was a very nice, polite, and down to earth person while I was talking to him.  Brett got up on stage and began to play singing Talk Dirty to Me, then he went into Sweet Home Alabama.  The crowd went wild and the party was on!  It was at this time that I notticd that Hef came in and wasthere with all of his "lady's".  Wish I could have talked with him, but no one was getting too close to him.

After quite a few drinks and a lot of fun it was time to go home.  What a great time I had and I will never forget this!  I want to thank if.net and Brandi Roderick for such a great experience and so much fun.  Thanks you all for reading this and hope I didn't bable too much.  Take care everyone and remember to keep voting and don't give up hope because your dreams may also come true!
