TATTOOED LADIES' NIGHT AT NIGHTROCKER LIVEnew
Roland “Nightrocker” Fuentes offers the least ladylike “ladies’ night” I’ve ever seen. For girls who just wanna have fun — and by fun I mean slamming 50-cent tequila shots, watching half-naked dancers waggle their tits, and listening to rap-rock — the newly revamped Nightrocker Live offers good times in excess.

Mummies of the World at the Witte Museumnew
What is it about kids and mummies? Maybe it's sheer exoticism, ghoulish delight, or their strange similarity to the familiar name for mother, but there's no denying that children are fascinated by the wrapped remains associated with the glory days of the Egyptian pharaohs.

'Ebenazio' is Jump-Start's comical gift of the seasonnew
Three things that no sane adult would want to go near throughout this season of institutionalized jollity: a shopping mall, a bowl game, and A Christmas Carol. "Bah, tonterías," says Ebenezer Scrooge in a Spanish translation of his derisive dismissal of Yuletide sentimentality.
