This Weekend: Mmm, Beeeer…Mmm, Meat

Frick! I didn’t mail off a Father’s Day card for my dad yet! If he lived here, I could probably have made it up to him by taking him to one of the following events (well, maybe not the Lucky’s sale). But as it is, I’ll just hope that he won’t guilt me too much….

Culture in the Early AM: Late Night at LACMA

Can’t sleep? Tossing and turning at night? Might as well do something about that. How about Late Night at LACMA? Dance to dj Kid Millionaire (aka Steve Aoki), enjoy Ima Robot, check out Dan Flavin’s soothing fluorescent light works and eat a street taco. Last year’s Late Night Bash at the museum was a blast….

The Warehouse Sale: Premium Denim 80% Off

So the Warehouse Sale is having another “You Can’t Afford To Miss This Sale” sale where “high-end designer jeans” for men and women are discounted up to 80% off.

If you’re an L.A. blogger, chances are you turned up at the Library Bar last night for the free beer tasting hosted by the sassy Christina Perozzi, the Beer Chick and the genius creator of the LB’s scrumptious beer list. And if you did, I wish I met you but as it was I spent…

I Heart Meat: NYC's 5th Annual Big Apple Barbecue

I can’t believe I still love meat despite spending a better part of the day smelling, looking at and devouring ‘cued-up brisket, ribs and pulled pork at the 5th Annual Big Apple Barbecue in New York. But I do, gawd help me I do. At first I was really nervous about attending this much anticipated…

Taste Test of Red Mango, the OG of Cute Yogurt

If you follow the yogurt news, you probably already know about the whole Red Mango vs. Pinkberry feud where Pinkberry is accused of totally copying the whole Red Mango concept from its kawaii decor to its Cap’n Crunch toppings. Honestly I really didn’t care. I don’t even like Pinkberry, or yogurt shops for that matter….

Tickets on Sale: Kids in the Hall at UCLA

I’m so mad that I just found this out but tickets for Kids in the Hall at the Ralph Freud Playhouse in UCLA went on sale last Saturday. The good news is that tickets are still available AND they’re playing on both Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24. Unfortunately, I’m celebrating my birthday that…

Table 8: Ted Raimi and Meh

Last night I met up with my blogger biatches, Nancy and Erin, again. This time at hip restaurant Table 8 on Melrose. I think it’s going to be our new thing: meeting up for drinks and drinks at various cool places around L.A. so we can offer our own take on it on our respective…
