The bands and DJs performing at KCRW's Halloween Masquerade party in Los Angeles have absolutely nothing in common with the Andrew Lloyd Webber song of the same name. If you're a Southern California resident or avid follower of independent music, then you're probably familiar with KCRW, one of the area's most tuned-into radio stations. The station's DJs, all of whom share a similar baritone rumble to their voices, are known for helping dictate the swing of the local music scene and attracting listeners to live shows en masse.

Halloween night's Masquerade extravaganza is sure to be no exception. If featured performers like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and DJ Shadow don't ring a bell, then it's time to switch over from KISS FM to find out what all the fuss is about. They'll be on hand to entertain the gussied and ghouled-up crowd, along with Sea Wolf, Little Dragon, and all of your favorite KCRW DJs. Finally, a way to put a face to the personality spinning tribal dubstep you hear late at night. ]]> Heidi Atwal 2009-10-27T15:13:51-05:00 34.0608290 -118.27930 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/25/192611/34

Why is Andrew Zimmern's favorite flight the one to Tokyo? This is just one of the many questions we asked the chef, author and Travel Channel show host when we caught up with him at the Travel Channel and Chase Sapphire card party at the Top of the Rock in New York. The answer to that of course, is because the flight to Tokyo is a string of uninterrupted hours of calm. But what we're more interested in right now is one of the hottest topics in aviation today, and that's the issue of In-Flight WiFi. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-10-27T09:14:17-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/25/19258/899

There are some big travel issues a-brewing out there, and we're keen to find out what some big travel personalities think about them. So we caught up with Anthony Bourdain, chef and author and host of The Travel Channel's popular food travel show No Reservations to get the straight dope on how, or how not, In-Flight WiFi has affected his travel routine. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-10-26T10:19:17-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/23/10346/907

Last night, while the country watched a new episode of 30 Rock, we took the elevator to the actual Top of the Rock for a party to celebrate the launch of the new Chase Sapphire, a traveler-centric rewards card. Chase has partnered up with The Travel Channel to promote the card, and as a result, the party was co-hosted by none other than Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern.

Munching through multiple chocolate and praline-covered bacon strips with a sunset view of the city below, we managed to tackle both Bourdain and Zimmern to chat about some current travel trends. For their answers to one of the biggest airline questions right now, you'll have to wait for the full video reveal on Monday, but for now we'll share what they name as their favorite vacation spot...]]> JetSetCD 2009-10-23T10:59:29-05:00 40.7589558 -73.979464 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/10/22/9320/9494

How do you throw a launch party for a luxury catamaran without the boat or its owner present? Well, if you're Virgin Limited Edition and Richard Branson and his new Necker Belle are unavailable to party, you just down canapes at one of New York City's best restaurants: Le Bernardin.

Surrounded by Virgin's signature red rubber duckies and with visions of Virgin Limited Edition's luxury properties—Swiss ski chalet and Moroccan retreat, anyone?—dancing in our heads, we managed to make it through a few Blue Margaritas at the Necker Belle party last night. Officially to welcome the twin-hulled beauty to the Virgin group, the event also showcased these other small and carefully curated properties owned by Branson through his Limited Edition Label. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-10-22T09:33:41-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/9/2/21948/02099
This picture actually happened

All this weekend, Chicago will be battening the hatches in preparation for the street party of the decade. Beginning at 12:01am Monday morning and ending at 5am on Wednesday, the three blocks of Michigan Avenue from Wacker Drive to Ohio Street will be closed specially for Oprah. Actually, for Oprah's show season kickoff taping, and everybody is invited.

The actual show taping is only an hour long, starting at 5pm on Tuesday, but the street needs to be closed for the erection of a temporary stage at the river and proper preparation for crowd control and security. If you do manage to squeeze into the three blocks on Tuesday for the free show, including a performance by the Black Eyed Peas and countless other celebrity surprises, be sure to DVR the airing of the episode on September 10—9.14 is the normal premiere. ]]> JetSetCD 2009-09-03T08:39:45-05:00 41.8966900 -87.624160 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/8/25/125045/387

Wooohoo! Party at the airport! Well, Vail's Eagle County Airport, to be more exact, and they're opening up their newly revamped runway to the public tomorrow for their "Romp the Runway" event. From 4:30-8pm tomorrow, aviation fans and locals alike are welcome to celebrate the end of the airport's summer closure, which has been in effect since April 15.

According to Today In The Sky, festivities on the tarmac will include a bike race, 5K run, food concessions and live music. We also hope that there will be face paint, because how awesome would it be to run around this event with airplanes drawn on your cheeks? ]]> JetSetCD 2009-08-25T13:09:40-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
