Monday

Rabbits, rabbits and more rabbits

I'm not sure why, but my Gramma always says "rabbits, rabbits and more rabbits" on the first of the month -- and, as luck would have it, today is the first of the month.

That's right, kiddies: it's June already. (Rabbits, rabbits and more rabbits!)

Today marks the beginning of national "iced tea" month (don't ask how I know this) and, as bad luck would have it, the official start of hurricane season.

It also marks the ushering in of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI), which requires everyone coming and going to and from Canada and the U.S. to show their passport (same goes with people coming from or going to the U.S. and Mexico, Bermuda, and a few other places...)

In (dis)honor of the WHTI, I'll be sure to provide my passport as I.D. if asked for it all month long. (Unless it's at the door, of course, and I need to show local I.D. to get in for free, haha.)

On the bright side, the first Monday of the month is also mixology Monday at my beloved downtown Vegas watering hole, DCR -- perhaps they'll feature a new bevvy (hurricane in a hurricane? twister tea-tini?) to mark the momentous month ahead.

And what a month it will be: the newest (and totally hilarious) Vegas-based blockbuster, "the Hangover," opens tomorrow (nationally on Friday) CineVegas is right around the corner (June 10-15!) and the NHL Awards (and all the corresponding parties) hit the Palms on the 18th.

So hold on to your hats, folks -- and cheers to the fab month ahead.
