This Weekend: Let Your Love Flow

Super Bowl schmooper bowl. Who’s playing, anyway? Apparently that’s the big thing this weekend.

Friday, February 1 Last Day for Win a Valentine’s Date Submissions Ladies, the…

The Green Truck: The Taco Truck's Evil Twin

Flickr Shot by dotsara It was bound to happen, I’m just sorry I didn’t think of this idea first: a “taco truck” that sells healthy, organic food. “Sacrilege!” you’re probably saying but then when you think about it some more you have to admit it is a pretty good idea, especially in health-conscious L.A. But…

Fred Segal Santa Monica Sale: Spotlight on 50% Off Designer Sunglasses

Nobody told me that Fred Segal in Santa Monica was having a fabulous 50% off sale! Arrrgh! It started last Friday and ends this Sunday!

The Garter: Another Dive Goes Legit

In dire need of a drink after work the other day, I convinced Crazy Andy to accompany me to the new and improved The Garter on Lincoln. I had gone there years ago when it was still the not-so-fancy sports bar called the Red Garter, and had left unimpressed. But after reading up on the…

Full Moon Horseback Ride, Minus the Moon

I’ve always wanted to go on a full moon ride ever since first I heard about it. So last night that’s just what I got to do with Los Angeles Horseback Riding up in Topanga Canyon. “Wasn’t it rainy yesterday?” you ask. Why, yes, yes it was. So we didn’t really get to see the…

For the Girls: Win a Date for Valentine's Day — Caroline on Crack Style

Something even better: I’m going to send you out on a fab date with a wonderful guy. And I’m not talking the generic dinner and a movie,…
