I wonder if my grandmother was a terrorist. She was Swedish. Never can tell with them.

That's exactly what happened to New Model Army (who played at the RnR Hotel) and Lacuna Coil (who were going to play at Jaxx).

They should stop trying to smuggle all those delicious meatballs into this country.

Just a head's up- the drink specials are part of the Not Dead Yet promotion that is ongoing at the Hotel on first and third Wednesday's. The specials listed are available upstairs only.

You can't be too safe. Nothing is sacred to those Swedish Terrorists.

Isn't this like the second or third act in the past year that had to cancel or postpone an RnR Hotel set because of visa issues? It's not confined just to the RnR Hotel though. The House recently voted on a bill to speed up visa processing for foreign artists. I guess Homeland Security (not State, according to this article) has been taking its sweet time.
