Someone I met today: All the Lyft Drivers we had. All of them asked us about EDC, and also asked what we were doing in Vegas if not for EDC. Because they were all so interesting, let me break it down. I know it isn't one person, but thematically, they're a group. So ok!

Lyft Driver #1: Moved from California to Vegas because the cost of living is lower. Wants to go to Hawaii, but always ends up going to the Philippines with his wife once a year.

Lyft Driver #2: Used to work for DirectTV and traveled around a lot. He was based out of Alaska, but decided he liked Vegas best. The two other people in the car were in charge of the fire systems that are going into the Oakland Raiders Stadium. He shared that just 2 days before he met these guys, the newspaper said that they still weren't sure if the Raiders were really moving to the city or not.

Lyft Driver #3: Didn't really talk to him. I just remembered that his car was hot because the AC was broken.

Lyft Driver #4: ??? It was after dinner, I was tired.

Lyft Driver #5: Really cool guy. We chatted about how he wanted to come to Hawaii. I gave him tips on a good time to go, and also recommended that he learn how to swim. Extra points to this guy because I left my phone in his car and he drove back to return it!

Lyft Driver #6: Hispanic guy named Jesus. I'm pretty sure the Lyft app said that "Jesus was coming." He asked if we were here for EDC, we said no, for a wedding. He asked if we were getting married. Also said no, asked Tam, "Well what are you waiting for?!"

Lyft Driver #7: HOLY SHIT. This guy was insane. Hahahaa. So anyway, he picks up and makes sure that we know we're using Lyft Line, which means that he can pick up other people on the way to our destination. We said yes. He shared that Magic the Gathering was hosting a tournament in Vegas. Cool. Anyway, we're literally across the street from the hotel and he gets called to pick someone up from the New York New York. He pulls up to the designated stop and doesn't see the person. He calls them, and they say they're by the New York sign.

"No you aren't, because if you were, you would see me!"

He then proceeds to swear while talking to the girl on the phone, "God-fucking-damnit man, this is why I fucking hate this Line shit. These people don't even know."

Anyway, he hangs up, and drives around to the other side where he thinks they are. The next conversation went down exactly as I thought it would as the two girls got into the car."

"See, there's the sign we were standing under. I told you were were by the big sign."
"You weren't by the ridesharing pick up sign, e'ery one of these hotels got one."
"Oh."
"You're lucky I'm a nice guy and still picked you up anyway."

Yikes. Bad on both of them though... Girls should have known, and the guy shouldn't have been that rude haha.
