Music Is The Answer Labor Day Weekend At Wet Republic!!
26 AugOne week away from today begins Labor Day Weekend music mayhem in Las Vegas and I can tell you I’ll be visiting one of my favorite spots, Wet Republic! Between MDW and LDW I’ve spent my fare share of holiday weekends (and birthdays) at this pool and always have the best time. From Swedish House Mafia and Deadmau5 to Afrojack and David Guetta, you name the DJ and chances are good they’ve performed at Wet Republic. This LDW brings a solid four day line-up (see below) but I’m actually most excited for daytime partying on Sunday because of Avicii and Sultan & Ned Shepard spinning the weekly F*** Me I’m Famous party. Plus I still can’t get Avicii’s “Fade Into Darkness” out of my head.

News: “Mickey Hart: Another Dead Tour Is ‘Always a Possibility’ (via Rolling Stone)”
24 AugCheck out THIS article today from RollingStone.com by Andy Greene
Excerpt below:
The Dead last toured in 2009. “There was certainly personal tension on that tour,” said Hart. “I mean, there were people that didn’t get along. And there were musical differences. But nothing that couldn’t be negotiated. I mean, there are differences in any family. But I didn’t skip a beat. I’ve been in very interesting projects over the past few years and I have absolutely no inclination to join Furthur. Bob’s doing just what he wants to do and so am I.”
Hart refuses to rule out the possibility of another Dead tour, though. “I would never say never,” he says. “As long as we’re above ground, there’s always a possibility. I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t do more shows someday, but right now isn’t the right time.”
