A lot of my single crackheads kept asking for it so here it is, a list of Valentine’s Day to-dos. While all the couples are out having their overpriced intimate dinners, I’m all for just going out drinking with your friends this night. While, really, any bar, your favorite bar, will be a good place…

Wednesday Sales: Will U Be Mine, O Discounted Designer Goodie?
Valentines schmalentines. Even anti-Valentine events seem played out. How about the We Just Don’t Care Day? OR even better, Wednesday? I say, chuck expensive dinners and pricey bar tabs and buy yourself something pretty at these here sales instead.
This Week's Challenge: Last-Minute Birthday Bash
Flickr Shot by Afotographie So this week I was tasked with finding a birthday venue for my best girl Dre and her 100 friends within four days. Her past birthday spots have included everything from Brennan’s to the Golden Gopher and she wanted something entertaining that could contain her bazillion friends but still have room…
Countdown Seating for Two: New Year's Eve Dinners
Flickr Shot by JToddM New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and you and your honey are getting pressed for time on what to do to celebrate. ‘Cept you two don’t want anything too crazy like having to count down in the middle of a mob at Giant Maximus or Gridlock. Perhaps a six-course…
My Xmas Present to You: Stress-Free Mall Parking
I hate mall parking garages. They’re so claustrophobic and trafficky, made even worse during the holidays by angry, angry last-minute holiday shoppers. (Relax, people, it’s Christmas!) So last night as I battled with said holiday shoppers in a crowded Target parking lot for one measly spot to open up, I thought about how fortunate I…
New Year's Eve 2007: Chaos, Crowds and Carmen
This year, no crazy New Year’s Eve parties for me. Nope this time I decided an intimate NYE affair at my place was the way I wanted to start off 2007. But I know there are a lot of Angelenos out there who want the chaos and huge crowds to make their NYE memorable. For…
Ghoulish Delight: Things To Do on Friday the 13th
Zoinks! Two creepy days in one creepy month. Don’t be scared. Instead of hiding under your covers this Friday the 13th, get out there and brave the bad luck. Especially with so many appropriately horrific things to do, look how much trouble you can get into! Spider Pavilion: I know spiders are supposed to be…
Saucy's Sunday: A Day of Leisure in L.A.
My friend Saucy Burnaz (his drinking name) has the same basic rituals every Sunday and this time he kindly enough invited me along to witness his fancy day of rest. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone enjoy L.A. quite in this neo-Rat Pack kinda way before. Saucy Sundays start with a dry steam…
Revisiting L.A. With Out-of-Town Guests
My sister Sizzler, a former Angeleno, and her husband David are visiting us from New York this week for only a week so I’ve taken it upon myself to think of places to take ’em in L.A. Of course, it’s an L.A. specific to their tastes (read: no tourist traps). So far, I’ve come up…
REPOST: Hot & Bothered: Ways to Stay Cool
OK, I’ve never done this before (repost something) but when I had originally posted this, the heat wave only lasted a couple of days. But now that it’s friggin’ hot out there with no end in sight, I figure it’s the best time to revisit how we, Angelenos, can stay cool. Take a Plunge: Don’t…
