Cocktails for a cause

Planned Parenthood has been in the news a lot lately. While the organization has always had a mix of supporters as well as opponents, for years the organization has provided low-income women a place where they can take care of all their feminine health needs. Although the organization provides women with services ranging from pap smears to birth control, Planned Parenthood also services men and teens.

The highlight reel

Jerry_jones

When was the last time you ever heard me compliment Jerry Jones on his football prowess as an owner and GM? Besides catapulting the Cowboys into another stratosphere of commercial success, JJ has been making some questionable calls when it came to personnel for quite some time now and folks in Big D were just sick of it. That tune changed, however, when Dallas made a bold move on draft day and traded up to get Thorpe Award honoree Morris Claiborne of LSU in the first round. Although Jerry has made many a bold move before, they were usually ones that left Cowboy fans scratching their heads instead of erupting in applause the way the Claiborne draft did. It seems like Jerry got it right again. Although the Cowboys didn’t exactly have the greatest draft, there are still many things to like about this group, and you have to respect Dallas’s desire to commit on improving its defense.

 Nocturnal Wonderland promises weird sights and wonderful sounds

Walking up to the Nocturnal Fest compound in Apache Pass from the parking lot gives a glimpse of the weekend that is about to unfold. Glow sticks abound; wide-legs jeans, the likes of which have been in hibernation since the early 2000s, are once again in fashion and LED light-powered pacifier necklaces once again find their purpose. It’s as if a time machine has enveloped the entire area, dumping its visitors into the once-vibrant and very popular rave scene.

Darksiders II delayed

Those of us who were anxiously awaiting the sequel to Darksiders are going to have to wait a little bit longer. On April 18, THQ announced that the release of Darksiders II will be postponed until August. The first game set the bar pretty high, so postponing the game may be painful for the fans, but it’ll allow Vigil/THQ time to polish the game even further. There’s no harm in working out the kinks.

Radiohead

What goes on inside your radio

Although the video might have killed the radio star, the easy, free and ubiquitous access to digital music has desecrated its corpse. Our minds narrow in on what we want to hear, we immediately access it through pirating or streaming services, consume it and then we are on to the next. However, the experience of tuning into the other realities of radio is still available to those looking to turn their dial a little to the left.
