Memorial Day is on Monday, which hopefully means you get a three-day weekend.  But if you haven't planned anything yet, we've got four date ideas you can do on the fly . . .

 

 

1. Go On a Photography Expedition.  Pick a theme . . . like classic cars or old men in Speedos . . . and head out to different places around town to take photos of each other with as many theme items as you can find.

 

 2.Go Geocaching.  It's basically a high-tech treasure hunt, and all you need is a GPS device, like a smartphone.  Then you go to the website Geocaching.com to get the GPS coordinates of a 'geocache'.

 

3. Travel the 'World'.  Since you're not actually travelling the globe this weekend, you can improvise by hitting as many different foreign foods as possible.  Try to see how many countries you can knock off before you go back to tuna-mac on Tuesday.

 

 4.Do Something Patriotic.  Even though we all use Memorial Day to mark the start of summer vacation season, don't forget about the REAL reason for it . . . remembering the men and women who died serving in our military.

Possible Pantera reunion with Zakk Wylde

Although stating that Pantera should leave the 14 years they had together untouched by a partial reunion, drummer Vinnie Paul recently stated that if the band were to come together once again, Zakk Wylde would be the only man who can fill the spot of "Dimebag" Darrell. "I mean, [Zakk] and my brother were so tight," began Paul. "If [a Pantera reunion] ever were to happen, [Zakk] would be the guy [to step in for Dimebag]." Vinnie Paul isn't the only Pantera member who spoke about the possibility of Zakk Wylde manning guitar duties. Frontman Phil Anselmo, who recently spoke to us about his love for Dimebag, responded to Vinnie Paul's comments during an interview. "That is an interesting question, if anything like that would ever possibly happen," says Anselmo. "Vince and I would have to sit in the same room, hash out whatever differences that we have, and as far as Zakk Wylde goes, I am not too sold on that 'cause we have to hash some crap out too. That day has not come yet, and until that day comes, I can comment further on that, but till then it is just talk. It would be rough not to see Dimebag on stage to my left, I would feel naked."
