The Deal: Nasty/Shane present Re-Rapture, an '80s-themed party and the duo's last event.
I went to Vegas this past weekend and managed to not come back married or broke. They dont call it Sin City for nothing there is something about that over-the-top town that sheds inhibitions, breaks everyones own rules and brings out the wild child in even the most boring of people.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact alcohol is free while you gamble and even prostitution is legal. They say New York City is the city that never sleeps, but Id like to dispute that - Vegas is actually the city that never sleeps. I didnt do much sleeping either. Granted, I rarely ever sleep I figure I can sleep when Im dead.
The first night we went to TAO (at the Venetian hotel) for religious nightlife (if there is such a thing).
TAO had naked girls swimming in rose petal filled bath tubs, nine Umpa Lumpas and the entire cast of costumed Sesame Street characters (only in Vegas). When Elmo and the gang got on stage to the tune of the Sesame Street theme song, the entire club stopped dancing to watch and sing sunny days, sweeping the clouds away ..
At 4 a.m. I found myself saying Its 7 a.m. in my real life.
R&B artist Musiq Soulchild was on WPEG Power98's Morning Maddhouse this morning, promoting his new album OnMyRadio, which drops in stores Dec. 9.

The Deal: Annual festival expands to two days as costumed-partiers, bands, acts and oddities fill Amos' Southend.
The Good: If you think "variety is the spice of life," you should have been at CarnEvil this weekend. It was one of those you-name-it-they've-got-it events. Slutty costumes? Of course! Midget porn? Yep! S&M booth? That too! Fire dancers? Why not! Cage dancing? Uh-huh! A drum circle? You got it! And a whole bunch of music on top of that.
