How Ironic!

I got this in an email the other day from ADNEC (Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center) for an upcoming event in the UAE capitol city.

BRING THE KIDS!

Geez, I guess I could have saved all the trouble and expense of actually moving to Las Vegas and experienced "Sin City" in my old stomping grounds of Abu Dhabi.....sans the scantily clad dancing girls, booze, gambling, colorful language and debauchery of the original Rat Pack of course. Frank, Dean and Sammy, we miss you! Its interesting that this show is featured as Las Vegas style entertainment doesn't seem congruous to the morality of this Islamic country and I'll wager the show is "Sanitized for Your Protection". However, the music from that era is good and if the performers can succeed in parroting the sound, banter and mannerisms of the original guys, it could be an entertaining night. What's next for ADNEC.......The "Ladyboys of Bangkok" revue"??? I copied this post from my other blog, Abu Dhabi Dispatches as there is a tie between the two cities. Also, a year ago I offered a solution to Dubai's money woes. That would be the Vegasification of that flashy, celebrity infested city. The Sheikhs didn't seem to take my advice and Dubai is still on the edge of bankruptcy as the once globally acclaimed artificial offshore islands sadly sink back into the Arabian Gulf and overly ambitious projects die on the vine due to the lack of money to keep them afloat. They should have listened to me!
