Strong Demand for Music Theme Cruises Leads to Five Sold Out StarVista LIVE Cruises for 2023

November 29, 2022

In addition to the 2023 cruises, StarVista LIVE produces the Malt Shop Memories Cruise, which sailed in early November 2022 also sold out.

The across-the-board success reaffirms the strong demand for theme cruises and has prompted StarVista LIVE to launch a new vacation experience, Big Easy Cruise, a 7-day event that brings together the music, food, culture, and spirit of New Orleans.

Concerts featuring the roots and offshoots of American music will include Little Feat, Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Leo Nocentelli from The Meters, Anders Osborne, Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen, Tuba Skinny, John Boutté, Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters, Honey Island Swamp Band and John “Papa” Gros with more jazz, funk, R&B, Cajun, zydeco and blues-based artists to be announced in the coming months.

The cruise will also dock in New Orleans for a very special exclusive performance by Galactic featuring Anjelika Jelly Joseph at the famed club Tipitina’s, along with rich cultural experiences throughout the city. The Big Easy sails November 4-11, 2023, from Ft. Lauderdale to New Orleans and Cozumel aboard the luxurious Holland America Line Nieuw Amsterdam.

StarVista LIVE cruises combine live performances by superstar artists with interactive events that bring fans and artists together, making it a completely immersive themed event with world-class amenities. Guests experience great music and memories, surrounded by the sights, sounds, fashion and fun of different eras and musical genres. From concerts that fill the days and nights, to theme parties, to live Q&A panels where celebrities regale audiences with personal stories, to interactive events with superstars including cooking demonstrations and shore excursions, StarVista LIVE delivers a vacation experience like no other.

“For the past decade, the demand for StarVista LIVE’s cruises has been growing at an incredible rate,” says Mike Jason , StarVista LIVE Senior Vice President of Live Entertainment. “StarVista LIVE’s sailings sell out months in advance and the pace keeps increasing, reflecting the demand for our fully immersive programming. Our guests love the unparalleled access to superstars, the attention to every detail that transports them to another time and place and our dedication to making sure they have the time of their lives reliving the greatest eras and genres of music in every possible way.”

Breaking news, i pay $2,100 a month in rent to live with 23 roommates and share a bathroom in nyc—here’s what it’s like.

The Sri Lanka native, who moved to  New York  from London in 2022, shares his home in  Crown Heights, Brooklyn , with more than two dozen people as part of a shared living space that is akin to a college dorm. It costs him a staggering $2,100 in rent each month.

In a recent interview with  CNBC , the 33-year-old lifted the lid on what life is like in his “cohab” home. It might have similarities to college housing, he says, but it is, thankfully, more “respectful.”

Still, Abeysekera has to endure aspects of the college experience that many adults would likely hate—namely shared bathrooms, shared kitchens, and, of course, being surrounded by other people nearly constantly.

When the tech expert first moved to New York, his company put him up in a one-bedroom apartment in the Financial District for a few months. But when it came time for him to look for his own space, he says the high cost of living in the city forced him to consider alternatives to a traditional renter setup.

After a Google search, he found Cohabs, a company that offers fully furnished bedrooms and communal living spaces.

Stays can be as short as six months or as long as a year or more. His budget was between $2,000 to $3,000, which more than covered the cost of one of the rooms in the company’s Crown Heights property.

Abeysekera also thought that the shared living experience would give him an opportunity to make friends.

“How do you really meet people when you are new to a city, and this seemed like a great way to do that, so here I am,” he told CNBC while showing off the space.

Abeysekera, an engineer, lives in the space in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The building has four floors and 24 bedrooms. The tenants are all in their 20s and 30s.

Cohabs also has similar locations in Manhattan and Europe, including in Madrid, Paris, London, and Milan.

He says when he toured the space and saw people hanging out together in the communal area, he knew he would like it. That the four-story house offered rooms that were within his budget made it all the more appealing.

The rent Abeysekera pays covers Wi-Fi, utilities, a weekly cleaning service, and a monthly communal breakfast.

Abeysekera’s bedroom is furnished with a bed, storage space, a desk, a desk light, and a walk-in closet. He does, however, have to share a bathroom—albeit with just one other person, rather than all 23 of his roommates.

And even then, he insists it hasn’t been a problem.

“Once I had to wait 15 minutes for the shower, which, in one and a half years I think is fine,” he jokes.

“Overall, in my experience, there hasn’t been any big challenges with so many housemates. And I think the main reason for that is that there’s so [many] shared amenities and space that you’re never really in each other’s way, and everyone has their own space in terms of their own room.”

As far as shared living spaces go, the property has plenty, including a terrace and rooftop, a small gym, and a basement with a TV and a huge couch that, Abeysekera notes, can fit all of the roommates, with room to spare.

“There’s not a lot that would make me move out,” Abeysekera adds. The communal living has even helped “enrich” his life, and he plans on staying in touch with most of his roommates—even if they move out.

San francisco giants | map: boone fire near coalinga burns into season’s no. 6 spot, san francisco giants, san francisco giants | sf giants continue plummeting as zac gallen tosses 6 no-hit innings, san francisco has lost six of its last seven games.

Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen no-hit the Giants for the duration of his six-inning start, consistently getting into two-strike counts and generating whiffs on offspeed pitches out of the zone from there.

LaMonte Wade Jr. hit his sixth career Splash Hit — and the franchise’s 104th overall — once Gallen departed, but his seventh-inning shot didn’t ignite a serious comeback bid in the 6-4 defeat.

“All our best at-bats come later in the game off, a lot of times, the best relievers,” Giants manager Bob Melvin said postgame. “It happens again today. It’s trying to put pressure on the starter early in the game, score some runs — it takes the pressure off our starters. We talk about it a lot. We try to prepare the best we can for a starter, and it’s really been all year that we’ve struggled with that.”

San Francisco (68-72) has now lost six of its last seven games as the club’s focus has turned from an outside shot at a playoff run to next season. They’ve officially lost four straight series. The announced paid attendance of 22,855 set a new season-low at Oracle Park, breaking the prior low point from the night before.

Giants starter Hayden Birdsong has impressed at times this season, but there have been more downs than ups. Before Wednesday night’s rocky outing, his season ERA in nine starts against teams other than the Rockies was 6.15.

Birdgong’s past month in particular, specifically with his control, has been difficult.

“Honestly, I don’t really know,” Birdsong, 23, said of his command. “I’m still working on it obviously. I’d love to be in the zone all the time, but sometimes that’s how it goes. Hopefully I can figure it out for my next start. Just keep working on it, hopefully it comes back. Just keep grinding.”

Birdsong labored through three innings and was lucky to cough up only two runs. The rookie righty walked five, gave up a home run to Eugenio Suarez in the second and made a throwing error while delivering 77 pitches.

To end the second frame, Josh Bell just missed what would’ve been a grand slam, instead flying out to the warning track in the left-field corner. Still, Birdsong forced the Giants to hand the game over to the bullpen earlier than they would’ve liked.

“I hate killing the bullpen. It hurts my feelings, and it screws us later in the series or whatnot. I just want to get to five, get to six, regardless of if I give up three or four runs or whatever. If I can keep it there, five or six innings, it’d feel okay.”

The Giants similarly couldn’t cash in on a bases-loaded situation when a trio of rookies — Luis Matos, Marco Luciano and Brett Wisely — drew consecutive two-out walks. That threat ended when backup catcher Curt Casali committed on his check swing on a Gallen curveball in the dirt.

As Birdsong exited and Spencer Bivens (4IP, 2ER, 3K, 1BB) pitched well in his place, Gallen continued to cruise through the Giants’ order. The second-inning trio of walks were three of the only four baserunners he put on all night.

Gallen struck out the side of Tyler Fitzgerald, Wade and Luis Matos in the fourth inning, extending his no-hit bid.

San Francisco’s lineup was littered with rookies and second-year players — as it should be in a September bereft of a postseason chance. Matt Chapman, who has played all but four games this year, was a late scratch. That allowed Fitzgerald and Wisely to occupy the left side of the infield, with Luciano starting his second straight game at second base. Ramos and Matos joined veteran Mike Yastrzemski in the outfield.

Bivens, another rookie, retired the first five Diamondbacks he faced before leaving a changeup over the middle to Pavin Smith, who socked it for a solo home run.

The Giants rarely even hit the ball out of the infield against Gallen, who took the mound for the sixth with a 3-0 lead. Yastrzemski then worked a 13-pitch walk, driving Gallen closer to a departure. But Ramos grounded into a double play on the first pitch he saw and then Michael Conforto struck out, allowing Gallen to leave with his no-hitter intact.

“He’s always good, right?” Melvin said of Gallen. “Curveball always looks like a strike and ends up being below the zone. Makes big pitches when he has to.”

Fitzgerald singled up the middle off Kevin Ginkel to lead off the seventh for San Francisco’s first hit of the evening and the very next batter, Wade, crushed a Splash Hit to halve Arizona’s lead.

Wade’s sixth home run of the year landed in the drink 412 feet from home plate.

But the same issues that have plagued embattled former closer Camilo Doval resurfaced in the eighth. Doval allowed a leadoff walk, didn’t hold the runner on, and then Suarez came centimeters away from his second homer of the game, settling for a double. Both eventually scored.

Wade drove in two more runs in the bottom of the ninth with a single up the middle, accounting for all four of San Francisco’s RBI. But the next three batters after him failed to reach base, leaving a half-full Oracle Park with a loss for the second straight night.

Omaha man who killed relatives with hammer not responsible by reason of insanity

• Molly Ashford Omaha World-Herald
• Sep 3, 2024

A judge ruled last week an Omaha man was criminally insane when he bludgeoned his grandmother and great-grandmother to death with a hammer in 2022.

Gage Walter, 29, was found not responsible by reason of insanity by Douglas County District Court Judge Russell Bowie in the killings of his grandmother, 70-year-old Linda Walter, and great-grandmother, 93-year-old Marceline Teeters. 

On the afternoon of Aug. 12, 2022, according to court documents and testimony from prosecutors, Walter knocked on the door of his family's home near 16th and Frederick streets. When his grandmother opened the door, he struck her multiple times with the hammer. 

He then went to the bedroom of his bedridden great-grandmother and attacked her with the hammer. By the time police arrived at the home at about 3:15 p.m., both women died from their injuries.

After the killings, Walter washed the hammer and stole a PT Cruiser from the scene. He drove to Winterset, Iowa, where he barricaded himself in a church before surrendering after a brief standoff. 

Walter had a lengthy history of incarceration and severe mental illness. He had been released from the Sarpy County Jail after a conviction for methamphetamine possession just three weeks before the murders. 

Shortly after his arrest, Walter was committed to the Lincoln Regional Center for a competency evaluation. He was determined to be incompetent to stand trial in March 2023 and was restored to competency this January.  

In March, prosecutors filed a motion to determine if Walter was insane at the time of the killings. Doctors at the Lincoln Regional Center concluded that he was. 

Competency to stand trial and criminal insanity are different legal concepts. If there are concerns that a defendant is not able to understand the proceedings against them or actively participate in their defense, the defendant is often committed to the Lincoln Regional Center for “competency restoration.”

A defendant — like Walter — can be restored to competency, meaning they can understand the legal proceedings against them but still be deemed to have been criminally insane at the time of the crime, meaning they did not understand the consequences of their actions or know right from wrong due to a mental disease or defect.

Walter will remain at the Lincoln Regional Center for an indeterminate period of time, until he is deemed to no longer pose a risk to himself or others.

Country singer Jelly Roll performs at Oregon prison

Country singer jelly roll took a break from touring arenas to play a concert for inmates at an oregon prison.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Country singer Jelly Roll has been playing sold-out shows across the U.S. as part of his “Beautifully Broken” tour. But earlier this week, his venue wasn't a massive arena: it was the Oregon State Penitentiary.

The award-winning artist posted a video and photos of his visit to the Salem prison on Instagram, showing him singing a cover of Johnny Cash's “Folsom Prison Blues” and signing autographs for people incarcerated at the prison.

According to Jelly Roll, it was the first live music in the prison yard in 20 years.

“I am a firm believer that if we commit crimes we should do our time and be held accountable for our actions, but I also believe that every human deserves love no matter how bad of a decision they have made,” the 39-year-old wrote on Instagram.

Jelly Roll, who was incarcerated in his youth, said he wrote his first song while behind bars.

“It never feels better than to come back behind a wall and sing a song for y’all,” he told the crowd.

His lyrics often touch on his troubled past and issues of addiction, and in his video from the prison, one man speaks about how Jelly Roll's music changed his life.

“I heard ‘Save Me’ on the radio, and I got clean that day,” the man said, referring to a song on Jelly Roll’s most recent album.

Jelly Roll, whose real name is Jason DeFord, began his musical career as a rapper before becoming an acclaimed country artist. In 2023, he won New Artist of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards.

“I remember being in a dark place and no one ever coming through and showing us any hope of changing the path of our lives,” he said. “It felt so good bringing a little light to such a dark place.”
