Summerfest is HERE

Milwaukee's Summerfest begins on Thursday. 11 days of beer, food, music. Guinness Book record holder for world's largest celebration and it's been going strong for over 40 years!

The City of Los Angeles is a half billion in debt and That Lakers Championship parade cost 3 million. I give credit to city officials - they realize that a hell of a party is more important than fiscal responsibility.

Rehab - Vegas

The weekly Sunday Las Vegas pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino is getting a ton of attention these days. I just found out that there's a TV show based upon the Rehab party. Not much of a TV guy so sorry if everyone knows about this show. Rehab is out of control and probably makes for as entertaining a backdrop as anything else - any party that makes people get to bed early on a Saturday in Las Vegas has to be something to check out. Hats off to Hard Rock - they took the sleepiest day of the week in Vegas, Sunday, and transformed it into the most hoppin day.

College Baseball World Series - hotels sold out in Omaha - gotta stay in Council Bluffs, Iowa. 5 miles away. 1st weekend-best time 2 go.

Mullet Toss

My friend Nina clued me into a hilarious party on the border of Florida and Alabama in April - The Floribama Mullet Toss - it's been going on for 25 years! Classic and I can't wait to see how a mullet is actually tossed. Here's a youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeGlA6jjirI

Telluride Bluegrass 2006 with Jenn. It's coming up this weekend - tix still available. David Byrne from the Talking Heads is playing this year!

Telluride Bluegrass Festival is beyond words

One word...unforgetable. Anyone with a remote interest in bluegrass music has to take a road trip to Telluride, Colorado. This festival is a must-do for any music lover! In all my travels to music venues, never have I seen a more mesmorizing, enchanting, awe-inspiring location for a festival. In 2006 BB King was playing...he looked out from the stage and said "I've been to 98 countries and I've never seen anything more beautiful than this place." Enough said.
