So I’ve been fortunate that publicists have actually put me on their “media” list so that I get a heads-up about upcoming events/products/venues they’re promoting.

Flickr shot of London’s mobile clubbing by chrisjohnbeckett This weekend, spend only about $15. Many free events and flash mob-type craziness.

Magically Delicious: St. Paddy's Day Treats
When I was a wee one, my idea of St. Patrick’s Day treats were the marshmallow charms from my Lucky Charms cereal and Shamrock shakes — not consumed at the same time.

This Weekend: Pinch Me, I'm Not Irish
The idea of wedging myself into a pub with 200 drunken revelers doesn’t appeal to me but at all. On Monday, I’ll probably just toast a tumbler of Jameson to you from the safety of my living room. And this weekend of events is pretty Irish pub-free. Friday, March 14 Pasadena ARTRide Get some culture…

Mocktail Bars: Where Designated Drivers Drink
Flickr Shot (not an L.A. mocktail) by code_martial Unless you don’t like drinking liquor anyway, it can be a bit of a drag to be the designated driver for your drunkard friends. You have to sit there on your bar stool sipping on your tiny, weak soda while they get to enjoy pretty, decked-out specialty…
6 Ways To Romance Your Sweetheart for V-Day
Fellas, I hate to tell you this but Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, next Thursday to be exact. But don’t panic, I have some ideas about how you can still save the day. Nope, not restaurant suggestions. You can find those here or here. Rather, treats and stuff. If none of these work…well…
This Weekend: Party Like It's 4706!
Flickr Shot by davidg I don’t know about you but this weekend looks like it’s going to be soo fun! Not only is there going to be lots of celebrating for the new year in Chinatown but there’s a warehouse sale, a kid in the hall, derby girls and a tequila tasting to name a…
This Weekend: Let Your Love Flow
Super Bowl schmooper bowl. Who’s playing, anyway? Apparently that’s the big thing this weekend. I’m sure there are a bunch of sports bars you can watch the game at but for those looking for other means of entertainment, here are the following. Friday, February 1 Last Day for Win a Valentine’s Date Submissions Ladies, the…
