Rockers Ween Take Over Brooklyn Bowl For President's Day Holiday Week-End!

Ween, the irreverent rockers from New Hope, Penn., took to the stage at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas for an incredible three-night run of sold-out shows over Presidents’ Day Weekend, Friday, Feb. 17 – Sunday, Feb. 19.                                                                                                                      
The shows began nightly at 8 p.m. as pseudonymonic front men Gene and Dean Ween (Aaron Freeman and Michael “Mickey” Melchiondo Jr., respectively) were backed by longtime band members Dave Dreiwitz (bass), Glen McClelland (keyboards) and Claude Coleman Jr. (drums).

As the band took the stage, Dean Ween acknowledged the fans with a knowing, tongue-in-cheek, “What’s goin’ on, Brooklyn?” and confessed with a wry smile, “We’re really just here for the bowling.”

Wasting no time, Ween kicked off with fan favorite “Don’t Shit Where You Eat.” The first night’s set list was well received by the eager audience, causing Dean Ween to call several visible audibles, changing up the song selection on the fly to further fuel the energy of the crowd. Favorites like, “Transdermal Celebration,” “Mr. Richard Smoker” and the hard-rocking slam jam “Nan” all made the night one catalogue. Angelo Moore, saxophonist from Fishbone, surprised the crowd and joined Ween on stage for “Your Party.” Midway through the night, the die-hards in the crowd demonstrated their knowledge, roaring as Dean Ween announced, “This is my favorite Ween song,” knowing that “Mr. Would You Please Help My Pony” was on deck.

“We witnessed a bit of history this weekend,” said Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas Senior Vice President Chris White. “It’s rare to find a band with such an enormously loyal following and a storied history like Ween’s, yet with so few recent performances. We knew the place was going to come to life like never before. And we were extremely pleased to have been able to offer that at Brooklyn Bowl here in Las Vegas.”

On Saturday, Feb. 18, Relix, the media company owned by Brooklyn Bowl founder Peter Shapiro, hosted the “Let Me Lick Your Plate Brunch and Bowling Tournament.” Teams of bowlers invaded all 32 lanes of Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas’ two-story alley, competing for a chance at the top prize of VIP tickets and a $300 food and beverage credit for Ween’s Saturday night performance, as well as a Relix prize pack. The winners, a local team from Las Vegas, along with other bowlers and guests of the restaurant, enjoyed Brooklyn Bowl’s converted menu, where all dishes were renamed after Ween songs and albums. Highlights included the “Egg Cheese Satan” sandwich, the “Mushroom Festival in Hell” omelet, the “Big Sloppy Jilm,” the “Boys Club” sandwich and the “How High Can You Fry” chicken platters.

On night two – Saturday, Feb. 18 – Ween continued to wow fans with their seemingly endless repertoire, playing another extensive slice of their library with songs like “The Mollusk,” “Bananas and Blow,” “Fat Lenny,” “How High Can You Fly,” “Mutilated Lips,” “Sorry Charlie,” and the often Phish-covered “Roses Are Free.” The song-to-song contrast between Ween’s songs, like the country-stylized “Wavin’ My Dick in the Wind” and soaring space-rock anthem “Captain Fantasy,” was not lost on an audience whose movements seemed to mirror the unique progression of the set.

Night three – Sunday, Feb. 19 – included a flurry of Ween classics like “Buckingham Green,” “Big Jilm,” “Voodoo Lady,” “Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down)” and a cover of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades,” with bassist Dreiwitz taking a turn at lead vocals. The evening was punctuated by a surprise on-stage guest. Not a musician, as in night one, but a pair of fans who were greeted with hugs by Gene and Dean Ween, right before the gentleman guest unsuspectingly dropped to one knee and proposed to his girlfriend in front of 2,200-plus excited onlookers. She said yes.

NASCAR Drivers Come Out To Test Track For Kobalt 400

Daniel Suarez (image from NASCAR.com)

NASCAR drivers Daniel Suarez, Landon Cassill, Alex Bowman and Drew Herring completed two days of successful wheel force testing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Tuesday. The quartet was in town to clock some laps as part of a data-gathering test session for manufacturers at the 1.5-mile speedway, and the drivers said the experience was productive. "It’s been really good, and I think we’ve been getting some good information,” said Bowman, who finished third in The Clash at Daytona on Sunday. “It’s been a lot of fun, and the track has been real fast and wide. It’s cool to be back here and get a little bit of a refresher on the race track, and I’m not going to be racing here (in March), but it’s great to get laps and is always fun to drive these cars.”

Cassill, who will return to Las Vegas to compete in the Kobalt 400 on Sunday, March 12, used the session as an extra chance to take mental notes about the speedway. “I take a lot of notes and always do full reports when I do tests and race, so I’ll have a lot of helpful information to bring back when we come back here,” he said. “I’m a really big proponent of getting laps, so I always jump at the opportunity to do things like this.”  Cassill, driver of the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford, enjoys competing at LVMS and is looking forward to returning to Las Vegas in two weeks. “I like Vegas, and it’s definitely a track that challenges me,” Cassill said. “That’s another reason the test is important to me. I like coming here, it’s a great venue and is always a fun trip. “It’s definitely well worth it, and the West Coast swing is a fun swing for us.”

 LVMS’ 2017 NASCAR Weekend begins with the Stratosphere Pole Day on Friday, March 10, with Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series qualifying beginning at 4:45 p.m. Pacific Time. The Xfinity Series’ Boyd Gaming 300 takes place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 11, and the weekend’s racing culminates on Sunday, March 12, with the Kobalt 400 at 12:30 p.m.

KIDS!! Design The Next Big T-Shirt For The Pawn Stars!

Does your child have what it takes to become the next design and merchandise expert? The World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, home to HISTORY’s “Pawn Stars,” is searching for their next big t-shirt design, created by their greatest, youngest fans! Children who want to participate must be 12 and under and design an original piece. The winning artist will receive a $500 cash prize and their design will be featured on a new t-shirt for sale at the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.

Inspired by the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, young artists are encouraged to get creative with their designs, which could include anything from images of the “Pawn Stars,” the shop front, the store sign or a favorite item from a show, among other themes.

Submissions should adhere to the following guidelines:

-          Can be up to three colors, not including the color of the shirt.

-          The design must be original. By submitting a design, the entrant guarantees that the design does not contain any copyright material and that he/she holds rights to everything in it.

-          Designs must be easy to reproduce and fit within a 10” x 10” space. Gold & Silver Pawn Shop reserves the right to make adjustments to the winning design for reproduction and printing purposes.

-          The design must be a high enough quality that can be printed on a t-shirt. For example, the design should have dimensions of 10” square with a minimum resolution of 150 pixels per inch. Vector artwork is also preferred. Software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw or Corel Paint are good options. If scanning a painting or drawing, also allow for a high quality scan as mentioned above.

Located at 713 S. Las Vegas Boulevard, the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop began as a gold and silver store in 1981 when the Harrison family first relocated from San Diego to Las Vegas. In 1988, when the city finally had a population large enough to necessitate the need for another pawn store, Rick Harrison made sure he claimed that license. Often more of a museum-meets-art gallery and located on The Strip, the shop gained notoriety by reporters visiting Las Vegas. After four years of trying to sell someone in the entertainment business on the idea of three generations of a family owning a pawn shop on the Las Vegas Strip, Rick (son of Richard “The Old Man” and father of Corey) got someone’s attention and in 2009, “Pawn Stars” was born. An immediate success on television, it quickly increased the number of visitors coming into Gold & Silver Pawn to more than 4,000 on some days. The shop expanded and became the city’s leading non-gaming tourist attraction (based on recent polls) and remains so today. In addition to souvenir t-shirts and “Pawn Stars” memorabilia, it is still a working pawn shop and is also a great place to view or buy rare art, guns, swords, toy and music collectibles, sports memorabilia, jewelry and so much more. The “Pawn Stars” are there most days working behind the scenes and customers can often catch one of them in the shop meeting and greeting the fans they never imagined having a few years ago.  For more information, visit gspawn.com.
