No Shenanigans here – Goose have postponed their long-standing tradition of Goosemas until February 26 after a touring party member tested positive for COVID-19. The show will still be held at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CA as well as PhanArt Presents: The Hometown Flodown.

On Saturday, February 26th at 8 PM ET a free live stream of Goosemas, the annual concert presented by emergent Connecticut rock quintet Goose, will broadcast on The Relix Channel Exclusively on Twitch.  The band will take the stage at the Mohegan Sun Arena for the eighth annual iteration of their holiday show, a tradition that began with humble roots in the basement of a Connecticut recording studio. A defining achievement after years of explosive growth, Goose will celebrate their inaugural arena appearance with a massive three-set performance.

The band has expressed devestation, but remains commited to the safety of fans and crew first.

The Road Lies Ahead, So Tie Up Your Shoes

Rather than dwell on the unfortunate circumstance, it would be far more Ted to check out and awesome cover of an appropriate song from one of the faithful Goose rail-queens:

For those experiencing feelings,Tamara Sastow’s version of “Tumble” both soothes and uplifts while maintaining that Marta Goedde edit stlye.

Tamara is a woman of talent and values. This multi-instrumentalist and music therapist sets a prime example of what it means to be a present and empathetic lover of music. She too, values the safety of others by always attending shows certified with narcan and also carries test strips.

All in all, it seems that the reaction overall has been very understanding and fans are grateful for the Goosemas miracle that is the “Shenanigans Nite Club” virtual movie premiere.

Comedian, actor, writer and producer Chris Rock is embarking on his “Ego Death World Tour 2022” with an appearance at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, June 2.

This will be the veteran comedian’s first standup tour in five years. Rock last appeared in Connecticut at the same venue in 2017.

While away from the stage, Rock has kept himself busy, staring in the latest season of “Fargo” last year. According to a press release, Rock has also wrapped production on “Rustin,” a biopic chronicling the life of Civil Rights leader Bayard Rustin, and he is set to appear in a new film by director David O’Russell (“Silver Linings Playbook,” “American Hustle”). 

PLAINFIELD – Plainfield girls basketball coach John Lorange watched his team clang shot after shot in the first quarter against Montville on Thursday night and couldn’t believe it was happening again.

The last two times the Panthers met the Indians in the ECC tournament, they hoisted up shooting percentages in the low teens.

“I started seeing some déjà vu,” Lorange said. “We were playing great but we could not hit a shot. I didn’t want to go down like this so we definitely turned it around in the second quarter.”

Did they ever.

Looking like a mini-version of the Showtime Lakers – minus the dunks and Magic’s flashy passes, of course – Plainfield got their running game in gear, erasing an early 10-point deficit in the blink of an eye.

And then the Panthers kept running and running and running.  

Plainfield ran past Montville, 48-33, and advanced to Saturday’s ECC Division II tournament semifinals.

The Panthers, seeded No. 4, will host top-seeded St. Bernard at 1 p.m.  The Saints (11-9) defeated Wheeler, 48-26, in their quarterfinal round matchup.

The Panthers, who reeled off six straight wins after a 38-34 loss against St. Bernard on Jan. 25, are one win away from playing for an ECC championship at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

“We kind of hit our stride and all started working together,” Plainfield senior forward Allison Conger said. “It transferred from practice to game time. We’re all leaders in our own way. We all do our job on the court and it definitely shows. If we keep working like we are now I think we can get (to Mohegan).”

Plainfield (13-8) and Montville (10-11) split two close regular season games but the Indians looked like they were going to run away with this rubber match.

Powered by senior Maya Hillman, Montville jumped ahead 12-2 after one quarter. Hillman, a 6-1 center,…

A strong group-wide performance, encompassing land-based establishments and online gaming, has led to Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment recording year-over-year improvements in net revenue and adjusted EBITDA.

This is aligned to the strong performance at the company’s owned and managed properties, as well as the addition of Mohegan Sun Casino Las Vegas and MGE Digital, compared to the prior period.

However, it is noted that 2020 was negatively impacted by various COVID-19 related restrictions, including the closure of the MGE Niagara Resorts for the entire period and Mohegan Sun Pocono for 20 days, in addition to state-mandated public health protocols at the operator’s other properties.

Net revenue through the quarter ending December 31, 2021, scored a 74.2 per cent increase to $402m (2020: $230.8m), with income from operations up to $35.2m (2020: $10.6m), net loss dropping 56.1 per cent to $11.7m (2020: $26.6m), and adjusted EBITDA rising 140.8 per cent to close at $97.4m.

When compared to the period ending December 31, 2019, net revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased 0.7 per cent and 29.7 per cent, respectively, which, MGE says, was largely driven by improved overall volumes and reductions in labour and marketing costs.

“Our consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $97.4m continues our trend of strong performance and demonstrates MGE’s ability to drive profitability,” said Raymond Pineault, CEO of MGE.

“In addition, following the successful completion of financing in November 2021, we are very pleased to announce that MGE has recommenced construction of Inspire Korea.”

Revenue at the company’s flagship Mohegan Sun facility in Connecticut, during a time frame that was said to reflect “normal operating conditions compared to…
