Easter
is a time of springtime festivals. In Christian
countries Easter is celebrated as the religious holiday
commemorating the resurrection
of Jesus Christ. But the celebrations of Easter have
many customs and legends that are pagan in origin and
have nothing to do with Christianity. Scholars,
accepting the derivation proposed by the 8th-century
English scholar St. Bede, believe the name Easter is
thought to come from the Scandinavian
"Ostra"
and the Teutonic
"Ostern" or
"Eastre,"
both Goddesses of mythology signifying spring and
fertility whose festival was celebrated on the day of
the
vernal
equinox. For more about Easter

Boot Camp For Congress
A

told me recently that Congress doesn’t solve problems
completely or immediately because there’d be no reason
for anyone to contribute to their up-coming elections.........

The Latest From The Circuit
Don't believe the hype. Life in Clubland
isn’t all sparkler service and block-rockin’- beats.
Sometimes it can get downright ugly. And when it does,
no one knows better how to pull it
together and refocus than the residents of Vegas’
ever-expanding nightlife empire....

I didn’t realize Bette Midler would only be playing at CAESARS
PALACE for two weeks. She has now left until June. Boohoo! I didn’t get to see
her and I am so disappointed, but I’ll look forward to seeing her in June. I
heard she is terrific. Not surprising!..... |

DJ Prinze Paul Interview
There
are allot of DJ’s in Vegas but there are only a few that
have been putting it down since the beginning of Sin
City’s urban / hip hop scene that started to blossom in
the 90’s. There are so many DJ’s who never touched a
Technic 1200, or a needle for that matter.....
