It started life in 2001 as Kung Fu Coffee before it became M.U.S.E. which stands for the “Mixed Urban Sound Experiment.”Continue reading →
It takes place once a year and has been called the greatest street party on earth. It draws people from every corner of the country and encompasses a variety of party thrill seekers from every age, financial and social bracket. It’s the best all-time bash known as Mardi Gras and it’s something every person should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Traveling around the world we’ve found that there are many cities out there deserving of the title of “Party City.” Heck, “If it’s on the planet, you’re sure to find a party” as we like to say but there are some places on this big, blue marble that rival (or should we say outrival?) any place else. We’re talking about those places where good times are a religion and the love of the nightlife is cardinal law!… These are the places we call the “Mega Party City.”
Welcome to Pittsburgh…. Or as we like to call it, Steeltown.Continue reading →

What do you call a barbecue shack, a blues joint and a biker bar all rolled into one? If you happen to be in central NY the answer would have to be Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.

No, this isn’t the Kentucky Derby. That was a few weeks back…. This is the “Mardi Gras of Maryland“…. A place where the liquor flows and the infield crowd was known to be the wildest anywhere…. At least that’s the way it used to be….

Somewhere along the way bars & nightclubs got a bad reputation that’s been hard to shake. Girls say they would never date a guy they met in a bar. But the girls still go there. Guys say the only girls who go to bars are desperate or easy. But the guys still go there.
