The AAC Party ‘10
As many of you saw, I had to resort to public begging to get into the Advance Armament Corporation party aka. BIG BANG 2010. Fortunately Cara Brittingham took pity on me and hooked me up with tickets not only for myself but also for my talented photographers Bryan and Isaac.
Lots more photos after the jump ...
I got to the party early, or so I thought, only to realize that when going to a corporate party in Vegas that is serving food, 30 minutes after the doors open is not early, it is actually a-long-line-waiting-to-get-food late. I missed the opening band but the food was worth it.
The headline act was a KISS tribute band named Mini KISS. They were great.
Jeremy, the national spokesperson of The Wounded Warrior Project, was given a Ric Flair Championship belt. He is a really great guy.
Thanks Lynnsey you're awesome!
Knight Armament had brought along two dummy (solid plastic and obviously non-functional) rifles with night vision scopes mounted on them. Glassing the Vegas strip at night, from the 51st floor of the Rio, was an incredible experience. One scope was a thermal scope and the other had an image intensifier mounted in front of it.
As you no doubt have guessed, I had a great time at the party. It was awesome to have to opportunity to meet the AAC crew. I had the honor of meeting Kevin (the founder), Cara, Lynnsey, Rachel, Jason and Mike. They are a very cool group of people.
Disclaimer: I was given tickets on the proviso that I would mention the party on the blog. I would have of course done this anyway.
[ Many thanks to Bryan and Isaac for their photos and Cara and Mike for sorting out the tickets. ]
Ramtinxxl, sheesh, when I make a typo I really make a typo!
Go Go dancers, midgets, rock bands, wrestlers and pretending to shoot people on the Vegas Strip – now I can see why you begged for tickets.
I was going to make a ’snide’ remark, but decided against it as I knew it would be motivated by sheer jealousy.
You are a lucky so-and-so though.
WOW, and I thought seeing Ted Nugent at the Otis party was cool. Obviously at the wrong party!
Anyone hear about the SureFire party? It was supposed to be very exclusive.
Props to your photographers too, and not just for the shots of the Maxim girls.
No wonder the ACR is going to $3K.
Nice post! Thanks Steve…it was nice to meet you and your crew of photogs. See you guys next year, let me know how many tickets you’ll need
Dude, your photographer rocks!! great shots!
Oh, yeah? Well, the OTIS party featured Ted Nugent! The Maxim girls look just thrilled to be there. I would have wanted to go to that one, but I figured they’d stop the party every twenty minutes to announce the winner of a raffle.
Glad you could be there and nice to meet you guys!
That was a good time. I’m just recovering now.
