There is a great band playing tomorrow night, July 2 at The Gypsy Den in Las Vegas. They get on stage early as it’s part of the First Friday schedule so make sure to bunny hop on down by 6 pm to have a rocking good time. I’ve been reading about “Leopold and His Fiction” for [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...NO, I don’t have pics so if you came here to see Holly’s breasts I’d suggest going elsewhere. I’ve had the opportunity to see PEEPSHOW at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas twice so far (once with each set of lead performers) and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is overall. [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...If I wasn’t such a lazy sot I’d have done the research to turn this into an actual article. As it is, it makes a decent blog post. Tami and I went to see “Footloose” at the Tuacahn outdoor amphitheater over the weekend. Tuacahn is in Ivins, Utah, which is saying it’s just outside of [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...Wednesday afternoon and it is raining. I love the thunder and a good rainfall. This is a big deal in Las Vegas. The sounds of rolling thunder and raindrops are a release after the past few hot days. It truly is a relief for all of Vegans. I take time to enjoy the storm. The sixty [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...Growing up, I always assumed I’d have children. My mother had them, so did Uncle Ralph and Aunt Martha and Uncle Ollie and Aunt Grace. The family exception was Uncle Buzzy and Aunt Dorothy who were the subject of family whispers. “They have dogs because they can’t have children.” In truth, we [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...Pretty little spider greeted me when I went to adjust the sprinkler clock tonight. A perfect little hour-glass as well… She’s been in more-or-less the same position since 7:00 pm — I guess she’s found the best place to go hunting for other little buggies. Here’s another view of her domain… Continue reading »
Loading ...There aren’t many cities in the United States where it’s easy to live without driving a car. Las Vegas is definitely not one of them. Having moved here from Germany recently I had no valid US driver’s license, so I started my quest for a Nevada driver’s license. In the past, I’ve had an Ohio [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...I wasn’t going to write until I thought about this…We went to see the Transformers movie yesterday, while I am not here to ruin the plot, I am here to warn any parent with a child under age 16 to not bring them to see this movie…there is adult language and references to sexual scenes [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...Some would say that we're the people who came into the world between 1961 and 1981. Others would argue that we showed up between 1965 and 1980. Regardless we are Generation X, the grandchildren of the Greatest Generation, the offspring of the Baby Boomers, and times are changing for us in many ways one of which I am writing to rant about.

Jack Sheehan's new book, Quiet Kingmaker of Las Vegas, is the biography of unsung Vegas hero E. Parry Thomas. Consider it a must-read if you really want to know how Las Vegas grew from Bugsy's hotel to what it is today. Continue reading »
Loading ...The saddest part about homophobia is that it ignores the many advantages that a gay friend can present to a straight man. We’ve almost all heard of the stories about gay men being ideal friends for straight women, but a straight man can enjoy even more benefits from such a relationship. Every heterosexual male is competition [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...I was lucky enough to have been invited to dinner at a brand new restaurant called Elements Kitchen and Martini Bar. When I read that the owners describe their menu as “comfort food with a touch of sophistication,” I knew I couldn’t miss a chance to sample some it…. The restaurant, which is located on the SW [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...Winston Churchill once said, “Democracy is the worst form of government–except for all the others.” To the extent he intended republics and representative democracies to fall under the worst-best umbrella, I look at the world and some corollaries come to mind. The U.S. is presently demonstrating the folly of a two-party system in which one party is [...] Continue reading »
Loading ...The heat is on! It’s time to head to the lake, visit the nearest public pool, or simply step foot in your own backyard oasis. With the temps hitting us hard already, there’s no better way to get refreshed than with water. My son has already been harping me for weeks about needing wanting to go swimming.
