Kat Edmonson - Take To The Sky

I love finding new artists that really have something special. I have to admit, though, that sometimes it seems like they are fewer and further between each and every year. In a sense, however, that makes stumbling across a new artist – someone truly unique– all that much sweeter. That has been my experience since Kat Edmonson’s unique style came into my world.

Las Vegas Retro Bakery cupcakes

The Retro Bakery Cupcake Taste-Off

Living in a city of decadence and delicious excess makes for many an opportunity to try tasty new things. Cupcakes have been a pretty serious trend in the cake and pastry world the last couple of years, and in Las Vegas, no cupcake bakery has gotten nearly as much press and online love as the subject of our review, here.

David Copperfield

David Copperfield

Having grown up as a kid in the 1980's, I can recall lots of David Copperfield magic, or illusion, on television (I do not understand why the term magic is a faux pas,) and I remember how big the productions were - it really seemed to me that he was the biggest, most impressive magician in the world.  Of course over time things tend to change but I was very happy to be se

The Hostile Grape wine bar area

The Hostile Grape

For some time now I've been meaning to make my way out to the M Resort in south end of the Las Vegas valley to try their wine bar - The Hostile Grape.  Since they opened they have been advertising their selection of wines by the glass or by the ounce and a trip was long overdue.

From Paris With Love

Since I was a little kid I've been a fan of John Travolta.  It's not because he's a great actor, because while he's a highly paid, highly popular star, he's just not what would fall into the category of "great," in my mind.  You have to admit, though...

Sideways was an okay movie.  I haven't written a review on the film but suffice it to say that without any real sympathetic characters in the story there isn't much to root for.  I mean, who steals from their mom?  What a couple of creeps, those two...  But when you're right yo

Jets Overhead - Bridges

Jets Overhead - Bridges

Jets Overhead is a group that I missed when "Bridges" was released.  I would still be missing them, as well, if it weren't for a key moment in this week's House where a track from the album, "Where Did You Go?," plays.  I saw the episode twice and both times I thought "I really like that song."

The Men Who Stare At Goats

The Men Who Stare At Goats

Blown away, I was not. That having been said, The Men Who Stare At Goats is an enjoyable movie, undoubtedly benefiting from the comedy timing and classic deadpan style of George Clooney in key scenes.  Ewan McGregor's character is...

Juno Movie Poster

Juno

I can't stand Sunny D. I'm more of an orange-tangerine Odwalla kind of a guy, but I won't hold that against Juno. She's too oddball-adorable to have anything held against her!
