LVW Col: The Weight Watchers Guy From Vegas
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 5 August 2011
Evidently, there's just no way for me to move through life without smacking into a good story. About two months ago, I started Weight Watchers. At my third meeting, our leader was excited to report that WW Magazine would have a man on the cover for the first time, and that he was from Vegas. So my tentacles went up, and here's that column. God knows what I'll do with myself when that happens during my fellowship. Yikes! P.S., I'm now down 17.6 pounds as of this morning's weigh-in. Woo hoo! -sfLas Vegas Loser

The E-Mail That Got ex-R-Jer Corey Levitan Fired
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 4 August 2011
A few weeks ago, the Review-Journal let one of its highest-profile writers go. Corey Levitan is especially sensitive to having it said that he was "fired," but that's what it was, of course. Not surprisingly given how legally vulnerable the R-J could be for discussing the matter, I only have his side of the story.But what a side it is.

Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 3 August 2011

So join us at about 8p at this UStream site to hear the interview, then stick around for Miles to come home for the live show.

LVW Col: My Vegas Bucket List
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 29 July 2011
Listeners to The Strip have heard me talking about this, but this past weekend I put in some extended hours working down my Vegas Bucket List.

Enjoy. -sfAs Time Ticks Down, My Bucket List GrowsBy STEVE FRIESS

The Roger Thomas ShowS are UP!
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 22 July 2011
I had some sort of bizarre problem with TheStripPodcast.Com just as Amy and I were heading off to Utah to take in some not-Shakespeare at the Utah Shakespeare Festival, so for the moment, the bare minimum is on the site.

Yes, Miles is coming, too
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 18 July 2011
We opted not to make that big a deal of this, but since I've been asked countless times in recent weeks -- and four times today -- what my spouse, Miles, will be doing when I head to Ann Arbor for my Knight-Wallace Fellowship, it is a relief to now

The Show is UP: Fluff LeCoque's Jubilee!
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 18 July 2011
For some reason, this was a particularly laborious editing experience. It may have been because I had to remove the outtakes of Miles being lewd and crude and making hilarious voices, which is great for our final outtakes show but perhaps not so great for me working through the audio. Either way, here's what we did. Enjoy. Click on the date below to play or right-click to save the show.

The Strip is Live -- TOMORROW!
Blog: VEGAS HAPPENS HERE - 13 July 2011
Hey folks! I've gotta go play in the World Series of Poker Media Tournament and write about it, and it starts at 4 pm. While odds are fairly high I'll be done in time to catch Brian Williams, I can't assume that and I'll need to see what else happens. So Miles and I will be recording our show on Thursday night at 8 pm PT. Another notice will be posted here tomorrow explaining what the game plan is.
