MDNA Blog – I’m Sorry…

Hi everyone, I just thought I’d write a blog about Lulus last night. We were informed the night before that Lulus was closing their restaurant for a private birthday party, which ended up being very bad for us and our fans. Many of our fans from Hawaii, japan, mainland, etc., were very disappointed that they …

And the beat goes on ….
