• May 7, 2013 15:32 Oscar Celebrates Being Oscar: Former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman is celebrating the upcoming May 21 release of his second* memoir Being Oscar – From Mob Lawyer to Mayor of Las Vegas, Only in America, with a three-day "Being Oscar Bash" hosted by downtown’s Mob Museum. The event lineup goes as follows:
Thursday, May 23
A celebration featuring live entertainment and surprise guest appearances from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at The Mob Museum. Admission is $10 for the general public (Museum members are free). Each attendee will receive a complimentary cocktail (presumably a Bombay Sapphire martini, although this has not been specified) and a signature "Being Oscar" face fan (you know it’ll be collectible* one day). Goodman himself will address guests in the Museum’s courtroom at 7:30 p.m., after which he’ll be available to sign copies of his book (not sure how/where to sign a face fan, but where there’s a will, there’s always a way). Books, food, and drink will be all be available for purchase.
Friday, May 24
The museum will host the first "official" Las Vegas book signing with Goodman (as opposed to the previous day’s unofficial one). This time around, all guests will receive free admission (with the purchase of a book), with three 30-minute presentations by Goodman at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m., followed by book signings. These events will take place at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Photo ops and face fans (becoming less exclusive by the minute, but see below) will be available to all.
Saturday, May 25
At 10:30 a.m., the former mayor will make a grand entrance at The Mob Museum, where he will gather with members of the public—all holding "Being Oscar" face fans—for a photograph on the Museum’s front steps. In addition to free admission (with the purchase of … yea, you get it), guests will also have the chance to compete in a "Being Oscar" lookalike contest to be judged by the good man himself, as well as a trivia contest. Raffle prizes will be given out all day. Goodman will sign copies of his book for Museum attendees from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There’s an online contest on Vine, too Being Oscar contest on Vine, too, not to mention an Oscar Goodman Bobble Head Treasure Hunt downtown, too, but this has taken up far too much time and space already, so click the links for details.
P.S. If you can’t wait until May 21, you can check out Oscar Goodman’s first memoir Of Rats and Men (not much has happened since, as far as we know).
