Killers Concert in Vegas Was a Huge Hit

by: mantis

I would like to begin by saying this was the best concert I have ever been to.  The atmosphere was just right, the accoustics were heaven, and the Killers were on Fire.  They Played most of their album Hot Fuss with some additional unreleased tracks.  The Joint @the Hardrock is a great venue.  Personally this was my first time and I was thoroughly impressed.

Up in Smoke

by: mantis

Around 12:00 Pm last night, a fire erupted at the old Phi Delt Fraternity house at the University of Southern California.  No one was hurt, but reports show that the entire house is gutted and the roof has collapsed.  Several rumors are circulating around 28th street as to the true cause of the fire.  Crowds formed around the residence as Fire fighters bravely entered the burning home.  With chainsaws blarring, this was an event that students would RUN from the 90 to see.  With Phi Delt's charter coming up for renewal this spring, after being off the row for nearly four year, there is some suspicion of foul play.  More to come when details are released.

Pope's Death: Morn or Rejoice

by: mantis

I am a devout catholic and have been since a very young age.  I was one of those who was an Alter server til the end of High School.  But i cannot understanding the morning that is going on around me.  Yes the Pope, a source of inspiration and spiritual guidance, has passed on.  Yet, he is now eternal at home with God.  That is nothing to mourn.  He was ready to go and God knowingly took him for his own.  What we should be doing is rejoicing at the thought of a new Pope with new goals.  More than anything I am excited for the tradition of choosing a new Pope.  I have never witnessed it before and the ritual is beautiful and dating back hundreds and hundreds of years, called Conclave.  At which time, all of the cardinals conviene and do not leave the meeting room until a successor has been chosen.  Every night a fire is built within the meeting room.  If the smoke that comes from the smoke stack is white then the world knows that they have yet to chose a new Pope. However, when the fire burns black the congregation of Cardinals have unanimously decided the new Pope.  Foor Possible Succesors See  This !

Steak House of Your Dreams

by: mantis

This one is for all the guys out there who need to take a break from their yappy wives, girlfriends, or significant others.  Del Frisco's, located just one mile west of the strip on Flamingo, offers the classiest eating in town.  Surrounded by dark wood and a classic bar, Del Frisco's offers that picturesque steakhouse experience, not to mention a cigar room with live jazz on select nights during the week.  Even more curious is Del Frisco's one of a kind James Bond table that when one pushes a button hidden in one of the books of the bookshelf the 007 soundtrack comes on and the table before transforms into a quite masterful wine rack.  Each bottle is on of a kind engraved with a color copy of the original motion picture poster.  If all of this doesn't tickle your fancy, the meat will.  Unlike most restraunts, Del Frisco's has rules for eating, among them "never cut the bread, we break bread here."  The atmosphere is perfect for any business dinner or a night out with the boys.

 

Personal Recommendations:  Fried Oysters, Shrimp Sampler, House Salad with crumbled bleu cheese( the cheese is to die for), and the Prime Ribeye (hands done the best steak that I have ever had, this makes Mortons or McCormick look like the Sizzler)

Drinks:  Espresso Martini (The best in town, if you need an energy boost and hate red bull, like I do, this will do it for you)
