When I moved here in 1999, Las Vegas was seen as a town antithetical to artists who took their work seriously. When I told Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips I was moving to Vegas he seemed sad that my writing topics would be so frivolous. But Vegas has changed a lot since then. The last time I saw Coyne, the Flaming Lips were headlining the first Vegoose music festival here.  Now, we are a town where even the most talented and aesthetically ambitious artists aren't afraid to go have fun. But some people you still don't expect to see kicking it at the hipster spots in Vegas. So, of all the publicity photos I get each day, this one is destined to be among my all-time favorites. Here are Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, arms folded in front of their chests, yet all smiles as they enjoy the Vegas VIP treatment at Social House at TI and pose for the obligatory promotional still.
