Coachella Wants To Bring New Festival To NYC

Panorama Music Festival 2016

Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG Live)–the company that puts together Coachella, Firefly, Hangout Fest, and a couple of other major festivals–is looking to bring a version of Coachella to New York City. Nothing is set in stone yet, but the powers that be are tentatively calling this festival “Panorama.” and considering using Flushing Meadows Corona Park as the site. You know the place–the empty park that once hosted the World’s Fair and now is only famous because it was in Men In Black.

AEG Live is also considering bringing the festival as early as next June, the same month as Governor’s Ball.

Some people are pissed because they think the two festivals will draw away from each other, especially in regards to headliners and performers. One of those people is Tom Russell, the Project Manager for Governor’s Ball who told this to Gothamist:

New York City is big enough for two music festivals but the proposed timing of this sets up an unnecessary rivalry. We’re a small, local promoter up against a big corporate machine. We know how those fights typically work out.

Truthfully, we’re of the opinion that there’s definitely room enough for both festivals but we’d like to see what a festival at Flushing Meadows would look like. The old structures would definitely make for some interesting visuals late at night.

Greaseless Pizza Saves Calories
Is there anything better than a hot slice of pizza after a night of drinking? No – especially when you live in New York.

And is there anything more infuriating than those people who insist on ruining that perfect slice by angrily dabbing its cheesy cover with a napkin? No.

WTF is wrong with you?! Why ruin a good thing?! If you don’t want something greasy, you shouldn’t be eating this!

Anyway, a new study just came out that revealed if you are one of those awful people, you are actually making the pizza a bit healthier… or whatever. According to their findings, every time you blot a 324 calorie slice of pizza you are, on average, saving 40 calories. Is that worth ruining something golden?

Is nothing sacred?!!?

Donald Trump Net Worth 2015: How Much is Trump Worth Right Now

Donald Trump Net Worth Today

Donald Trump has notoriously been known for being a ‘self made billionaire’ for nearly 30 years now. But, how much is this competition crushing business-minded republican presidential candidate actually worth? Let’s talk money; billions in fact, and scope out the details of Donald Trumps billion dollar bank roll.

Donald Trump’s Net Worth as of 2015: $4.6 Billion

Hitting his first billion dollar mark in 1988, Donald Trump’s net worth has continued to sky rocket. Making an insane yearly salary of 250 million, it’s really no surprise that Trump is literally rollin’ in the dough. However, his current net worth has actually sparked quite the debate this past year. After interviewing over 80 sources, stating that Donald Trump is sitting pretty at a solid 4.5 bill. But, Trump couldn’t disagree more! He dismissed Forbes findings calling them “incompetent” and claimed that they were trying to make him “as poor as possible”. He claims that he is worth over $11.5 billion and that an actual ‘respected’ magazine will be coming out soon which will verify this. So who do we believe? The self made billionaire or over 80 sources? A difference of $7 billion is enough to make us all question what his true net worth really is.


1988 – 2000

Donald Trump Net Worth 2000

1988 – 1991: The New York Time’s reported that Trump was worth $3 billion after he purchased the Plaza Motel in Manhattan for roughly $390 million. However, a few short months later Forbes trumped Trump (funny, we know) by stating his net worth was 1 billion as opposed to three. In 1990, Trump was dropped from Forbes list of world billionaires after the value of his real estate business went out the window. By 1991, broke and out of options Trump filed for Bankruptcy.

1991 – 2000: After a long hard couple years, Trump married Maria Maples in 1995 with whom he remained until 1999 when the two divorced. By 2000, Trump was finally back in business claiming to be worth 5 billion in which Forbes quickly squashed stating that his net worth was more like $1.5 billion instead.


2001 – 2014

Donald Trump Networth 2014

2001 – 2005: The topic of Donald Trump’s actual net worth died down for a good number of years until 2005 when the first season of Trump’s hit TV show The Apprentice first aired. In which, we might add, he was being paid $50,000 per episode which ended up equaling out to a whopping $700,000 for the first season alone. That year, Forbes reported that Trump was worth $2.5 billion which put him in a 15-way tie for 228th richest person in the world.

2006 – 2014: Trump jumped his way back up the ladder with an alleged net worth of $1.6 billion, and was reported to be sitting at $2.4 billion in 2010. In 2011: Trump first considered running for election but in turn ended up passing up the opportunity. The next year, he released a book which stated that his net worth was $7 billion, which would of course be a jump compared to Forbes claim of his net worth being $2.7 billion in 2011. In 2013, once again, Forbe’s battled Trump over the actuality of his net worth claiming that he was sitting at a net worth of $3.2 billion while Trump held strong to his convictions stating that it was more like 10 billion instead.

2015 Donald Trump Networth

Donald Trump was named in the October 2015 edition of Forbes Magazine as having $4.4 billion, which is something that Donald took offense to, citing that he’s worth at least twice that much. “I’m a private company. I like the people at Forbes. But they don’t really know my assets very well.”

Tom Brady Supports Donald Trump For President

What he is happy about though, is that his 2015 political campaign was under budget because of all the press he received which helped to keep him at the top of the polls. That allows him to avoid spending on advertising.


So, there you have it! From first making the billionaire list in 1988, Donald Trump has vigorously fought his way to the top with a net worth in 2015 of “_______”, yeah… crickets sure are chirping and no one really seems to be able to figure out the actual answer! But regardless of the figure’s, Trump’s still a billionaire and we suppose that after you hit that mark a few billion really doesn’t make too much of a difference after all, right?


Five Alabama FIJI Students Charged, Arrested For Hazing

Alabama FIJI arrests

Five University of Alabama FIJI fraternity brothers have been charged and arrested for hazing pledges. In addition to the arrests of brothers Mark Allen Powers (20, left), John Patrick Buckley, Colter K. Anderson (21), Hunter Lee Wagner (20), Richard E. Markwalter (20, right) Alabama has laid down strict sanctions on the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Alabama FIJI Arrest

Anderson, Buckley, Markwalter and Wagner are charged with three counts of hazing. Powers is facing one count. It’s unknown at this time why these were the five members arrested.

Dean of Students Tim Hebson had this to say at 6:30 PM when the school made an announcement:

“The University of Alabama will not tolerate hazing and takes allegations and incidents of hazing very seriously. Students who are the victims of, or who become aware of, hazing incidents are strongly encouraged to bring these incidents to our attention.”

The school and Phi Gamma Delta International Fraternity came down on the chapter, and sanctions include no social events and no new member activities.

AL.com is reporting that the Phi Gam brothers allegedly made their pledges stand in buckets of salt and ice several weeks ago, a cruel and purposeless exercise (if it actually happened). Those of you who’ve tried to cool beers faster know that salt water actually drops the freezing temperature of water and can cause serious third-degree burns or blisters on skin.

The five fraternity brothers were booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail with bonds set at $1,000 each for the misdemeanor charges.

The Alabama Phi Gamma Delta house was ranked #10 on our list of 20 Best Fraternity Houses of the South.

Disclosure Tore Up The LA Sports Arena, Watch The Recap On AmEx Unstaged

Its midterm season here at USC but the buzz around campus is still alive and well. Football season is underway, and students are busy with their class and social routines. For me, every day is hectic: from practice to class, to tutoring, to meetings, to sleep and back again! Whenever I’m not at one of these mandatory gatherings for athletics or academics I like to find myself a nice study break. In Los Angeles, that’s never a difficult task. After all, it is the entertainment capital of the world!

Last night, after I had finished my last assignment and before I started studying for a midterm (that was scheduled for 10 AM the next morning) I decided to ride my bike a mile down the road to check out Disclosure at the LA Sports Arena! It was 9 PM on a Tuesday night before a midterm, but come on people, you do only live once.

Disclosure Will Live Stream Their LA Concert This Week

When I heard the vibration of the building, I knew the event was gonna be hyped. I walked inside the arena to a sold out crowd that was jumping and singing to the soul-bumping music of Howard and Guy Lawrence, better known as Disclosure. The vibration of the huge bass speakers reverberated through the floor and into the crowd which looked like a sweaty, pulsing mob of excited college students at a frat party. In a way, that’s what it was. I joined in. This was really living!

After a few songs, we were drenched but there was no energy lost. I could see hundreds of hands held high and smiles all over the venue! People were dancing, people were laughing, people were drinking. All in the name of good music and good company. It didn’t matter the day or venue.

After about a minute break, Disclosure dropped a bomb and brought out Sam Smith! The crowd went absolutely nuts when Disclosure and Smith performed “Latch” together to end the night and send over 10 thousand fans home with a magical finish to an experience they will remember (or not remember) forever.

ASU Alpha Chi Omega Diamondbacks Game

The Alpha Chi Omega girls of Arizona State University just hit it big time after they were a major topic of focus and discussion during the Arizona Diamondbacks game last night. No less than two minutes of the game were spent talking about how much they loved selfies and taking photos of themselves.

And you know what? Good. Because that’s how you improve the ratings of Dbacks games.

There’s no two ways about it, these AXO chicks won the game. How else could you explain the fact that they made it onto the Diamonbacks official Snapchat?

And as far as the announcers go, I know that you were just having fun but the fastest way to sound old is to talk about the younger generation using their phones and taking photos. It’s what they do. So just deal with it.

Update: Wow the Alpha Chi Omega girls did it again! Check out this awesome update they posted on their Facebook page, turning down tickets for charity. That’s how you win a double-header.

As for country music, I’ve realized I will have to just accept their presence in my life. Kinda like hemorrhoids.

Best Oregon Marijuana Dispensary

Today, October 1st, 2015, is the first day that Oregon marijuana dispensaries can sell recreational cannabis to adults 21+. It’s a historic day for the men and women who’ve spent decades trying to bring the plant out from the depths.

So naturally if you’re an Oregon resident or just visiting from out of state, you’re probably wondering which are the best pot shops to visit. There are tons of choices and places to check out, but if you’re in Portland we highly suggest going to Farma PDX (916 SE Hawthorne Blvd).

Farma PDX

Hailing itself as a network of licensed growers, botanical scientists and patients bound by a common purpose, Farma PDX provides predictable and effective medicine that enhances people’s lives. It was also recently named the Best Dispensary and Best Budtender in Willamette Week‘s “Best of Portland” annual awards.

In addition to their state of the art facility and practices, Farma’s greatest asset is none other than Jeremy Plumb, known for both his political action and knowledge of plant science. He’s met with countless politicians, scientists, growers and patients who believe in the plants’ benefits. Here he is meeting with the father of modern cannibis, Dr. Raphael Mechoulam.

Instagram Photo

Speaking of Instagram, their page is top-notch. Not only does their page’s narrator provide customers and followers with pretty pictures indicative of Portland’s art scene, the informative posts on sales and new products will make you wish you lived on the West Coast.

If you choose one dispensary in your trip to Portland, make it to Farma PDX. And a big congratulations to the state of Oregon and its residents.

Claire Danes, the star of Homeland, returns to the small screen this weekend with the beginning of Season Six on Showtime. While Claire the actress is still as hot as ever, things with her character Carrie are less than fantastic. She’s left the CIA, she’s working for a private security firm, and somehow still finds a way to get kidnapped.

No, we’re not spoiling anything–that’s in the preview.

The toughest thing for us about the show isn’t Brody’s daughter (who we’re hoping is gone for good) but rather that Carrie’s emotionally unstable. It’s really hard to appreciate how good looking Claire is when she’s crying 24/7. Obviously we find a way, but still. Life is hard enough.

UCC Shooting, Umpqua shooting

Umpqua Community College is the scene of the latest mass shooting in Oregon. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblaum said on MSNBC that 13 people, including the gunman Chris Harper-Mercer, were killed in the shooting. Oregon State Police have said that as many as 20 others were injured.

Chris Harper-Mercer, UCC Shooter: Photos, Info & Story

The shooter Chris Harper-Mercer fired through a classroom door and later exchanged fire with the police. The campus remains in lockdown as students are taken away from the school.

The live dispatch call (which is NSFL) was recorded. Frankly it’s awful to listen to, but incredible that these are so readily available so quickly. You’ll hear the dispatcher tell the police about someone trying to shoot through the doors and how one female has been shot.

One student at UCC live tweeted the event:

The Shooter fired through a classroom door and later exchanged fire with the police. The campus remains in lockdown as students are taken away from the school.

Reports indicate that the shooter did post online before the mass murder, and that they likely began an attack on the science building before moving onto other buildings.

Chris Harper-Mercer has been identified as the Umpqua shooter, the 26-year-old man responsible for the Umpqua Community College shooting. Earlier reports indicated he was a 20-year-old. Authorities have yet to confirm he was a student at UCC, although there are differing accounts.

Reports from a witness Kortney Moore also indicate that Mercer first fired a shot through the window in Snyder Hall, killing their teacher. According to her story, Harper-Mercer ordered everyone onto the ground and then yelled people to stand up and state their religion. Moore survived by lying on the ground with the people who were shot.

Here is a link to a Chris Harper-Mercer’s Myspace page that was first updated in 2014. The link (which hasn’t been verified) states Chris’ location is Torrance, CA and shows numerous images of the Irish Republican Army, which may explain his “religious” affiliation.
