This sounds like a place I'd love to visit. I don't gamble, but do love Vegas, having worked and lived there. Love the food. Love to find birds there, etc.
Im so bummed our trip to Vegas was too short to hit the museum. I am always jealous of the pics I see. What an amazing weekend to be a fan though! Glad you had fun.
In Oakland- they played the Manic Relapse fest, Saturday afternoon show at this illegal skate park. I don’t have photos sadly as my camera got pegged with a beer can and the moisture fogged my lens up.
I'm not positive about this--I've been trying to find proof and can't--but I toured alongside a band called One Hit Wonder back in 97 and one of the dudes (the nicest of the group) said he was in an old punk group and I thought he said Iconoclast. haha
i'm about 10 days behind you... Vegas next week for Dead & Co. on Thursday and Punk Rock Museum on Friday... anything to stay out of the casinos and resorts...
All the great meals I had were in the Palazzo and Venetian and were comped. The Mirage has a 24-hour grill next to the sports book called Snacks that is way better than a 24-hour grill next to the sports book should be.
My bud Lonn Friend (former editor or RIP mag) swears by the Bootlegger... apparently all the old 'retired to Vegas' rock n rollers hang out there... off the strip...
Man, and here I was expecting an in-depth rundown of the Dead and Co. show, complete with setlists. Maybe next time lol. There are super cheap getaway flights from Springs to Vegas all the time, we should plan a weekend around a show and meet up sometime, I’m itchin to check out the museum.
Don't hold your breath! Seriously, I'm writing a piece about Dead and Co at The Sphere for another pub and after that runs I'll have more to say about it.

Seemed like half my instagram feed was from the festival or the museum!
I was in Vegas briefly and didn’t go to the punk rock museum. Now I understand what a grave mistake that was. Thanks for showing me the way!
Do you like Vegas? I kind of love it, but I know that many sober people avoid it like the plague.
I’ve seen Iconoclast! Well the 2019 version of them as they are still active, still overtly political and still a total ripper.
Oh interesting! Do you remember where that was?

And thanks again for recommending Phane. Some seriously great Mating Sounds of South American Bullfrogs vibes!
am always glad to help people find new great bands!
Rad!

Excited to see the museum. Nobody talks shit about it... which is shocking... haha
I've talked to some Europeans who were disappointed by the lack of representation of bands from the continent.
