The Presidents of the United States of America — that’s right, all of them, except that lazy ne’er-do-well Harrison — take the stage tonight at Rio’s VooDoo Beach for a free poolside concert. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the SpyOnVegas.com Open Bar, and the show starts when the free hooch stops at 9 p.m.
PotUSA, you’ll remember, is that band that put out an album with “Lump” and “Kitty” in ‘95, then released five other albums over the next 12 years that you haven’t heard.
After the show, the official PotUSA afterparty is on the roof at VooDoo Lounge.

Not quite as awesome as Fan Man.
Red Bull pulled out all the stops this weekend for the launch of Red Bull Cola, including a parachute fly-by of Voodoo Lounge atop Rio Sunday night by Jon Devore and Charles Bryan. Bryan is a six-time X Games gold medalist, and the pair or members of the Red Bull Air Force. You know who else was in the Red Bull Air Force? Anthony Edwards. At least he was until some hot-dogging pilots couldn’t stay out of a spin and it led to his tragic death due to an ejector malfunction.
Skateboarders Ryan Sheckler and Jereme Rogers were doing their promotional duties Friday night at Hollywood Skatepark (1650 S. Hollywood Blvd.), where they endured a rain delay with 1,100 fans before putting on a demonstration. You know who else is a top rider? Anthony Edwards, who — wait, no, we’re thinking of Christian Slater in Gleaming the Cube. Nevermind.
