Maloof Money Cup Launch Party

More than twenty skaters attended the official Maloof Money Cup launch party at the Palms Casino Resort Thursday, June 4, sponsored by Le Tourment Vert Absinthe Francaise and Miller Lite. The launch party was the official kickoff and countdown to the 2009 Maloof Money Cup. Created by Joe Maloof, owner of the NBA’s Sacramento Kings and the Palms Casino Resort Las Vegas, the Maloof Money Cup returns to the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif. during the opening weekend of the OC Fair, July 10-12, 2009.

The kickoff event featured the Ante Up for Skateboarding Poker Tournament, sponsored by Monster Energy to benefit the Maloof Skateboard Assistance Foundation, a nonprofit organization started by the Maloofs to provide assistance to skateboarders who suffer injuries during contests. Jake Brown, whose 50-foot fall at the 2007 X Games inspired Joe Maloof to create MSAF, was the winner of the tournament. Brown immediately donated a portion of his winnings back to the charity.

Later that evening, Brown was joined at the launch party at Moon Nightclub by fellow pro skaters and MMC competitors: Adam Dyet, Paul Rodriguez (last year’s Maloof Money Cup Street winner), Pierre Luc Gagnon (last year’s Maloof Money Cup Vert winner), Lizard King, Bob Burnquist, Bryan Herman, Jake Duncombe, Braydon Szafranski, Brandon Biebel, Bobby Worrest, Billy Marks, Clarke Miyasaki, Corey Duffel, Heath Kirchart, Chris Gentry, Silas Baxter-Neal, Kurtis Colamonico, Adam Taylor, Rune Glifberg and Rodrigo TX.

Tickets for the 2009 Maloof Money Cup are now on sale at all Ticketmaster locations, online at ticketmaster.com, by calling (714) 740-2000 or (213) 480-3232, or at the OC Fair & Event Center Box Office at the Pacific Amphitheatre.

And Regarding PEEPSHOW..

Straight from BASE Entertainment:

"It has always been our plan to feature rotating celebrities in Peepshow to keep the spirit of the show fresh and new. That said, we love Mel and she is terrific in the role as "Peep Diva". We discussed with Mel the possibility of an extension and perhaps she will return to the showsome day, however, we simply could not make the show and Mel's schedules align at this time" Scott Zeiger, Co-CEO of BASE Entertainment.

No word yet on who will replace Mel B. ...but Holly Madison is scheduled to perform as "Bo-Peep."

The Laughing Samoans...At The Pearl Concert Theater!

Comedic duo The Laughing Samoans to perform at The Pearl Concert Theater inside the Palms Casino Resort on Saturday, July 18, 2009 as part of the group’s Prettyfull Woman Tour.

The comedic partners in crime, Eteuati Ete and Tofiga Fepulea’I, grew up together and performed their first show together, although not as a duo, aptly titled “Laughing with Samoans” in 2003. In October 2004, adopting a rendition of the performance name, they premiered their first show at The Laughing Samoans called A Small Samoan Wedding. This was another hit with sold-out shows throughout New Zealand and the show eventually toured in Hawaii and the United States .

$1 from the sale of each ticket will be donated by event producers Maori Inc. to Masi Sala, a Las Vegas-based rugby player and coach injured during a game this past March who was left paralyzed from the shoulders down.

The Pearl Box Office is open from noon – 7:00 p.m. daily. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and show time is 8:30 p.m. The Pearl is home to Miller Lite Live, presented by Cricket Wireless and sponsored by Citi; for more information on upcoming concerts, please call 702-942-6888.

Living Things for ONE Night at the Harmon Theater!

Living Things plays at the Harmon Theater June 10

One-night only show at the Harmon Theater

Wednesday, June 10, doors open at 9 p.m.

“Habeas Corpus,” the second album from Living Things, is a slingshot of modern Americana, arching from St. Louis through Chicago, New York City and London to pierce the international vagabond outpost of Berlin, as seen through the eyes of four political junkies high on the poet and the layman’s right to intellectual freedom. The themes they cover include life, love, money, religion and war in these turbulent times.

Cost $10

Magic's A Drag...not with Cashetta!

Add one part Bette Midler, a dash of Dolly Parton and mix with the talents of David Copperfield and poof! you have “Magic’s a Drag” starring Cashetta, the Queen of Magic. Cashetta gives magic a fabulous makeover as one of the only female impersonator magicians in the world. Her act includes cards that disappear and reappear in unlikely places and a gypsy rope illusion that rivals Harry Houdini’s famous escapes — with a twist. She even teaches an audience member, dressed in drag, to perform an illusion. And just wait to see what she does with a five-foot balloon. Cashetta relies heavily on her interaction with her audience, pulling them on stage to help with her illusions. The atmosphere is more of a party than a show.“Magic’s a Drag" performs nightly at the http://www.harmontheater.com/
