I’ve always wanted to check out the Bowery Bar & Bistro on Sunset. I knew it was in Hollywood somewhere but had no idea that it was located just down the street from the Arclight. Had I known that I would have certainly gone there for a preshow dinner/cocktail instead of trying my luck at…

My Lovely Lady H.U.G.S.: Soccer Charity Event
My friend bombshell Beate (the second one from the left) and her lovely ass-kicking friends are throwing a huge Hollywood party at the Red Buddha Lounge to benefit their team, Hollywood United Girls Soccer. Don’t be scared. It’s not as cheesecake or over-the-top-Hollywood as you may think. OK, maybe a little. Here, they may look…
Bustin' Out All Over: Prison Break Viewing Party?
They’ve had viewing parties at bars for Melrose Place and Sex & the City why not one for Prison Break? A friend said I should try and organize this and I think it’s an awesome idea. I just have to find out 1) if there really is an audience out there for this and 2) if…
Favorite Bartender Strikes Again: Steve at Ford's
My head hurts. Last night I went to Ford’s Filling Station in Culver City with Dre and our friend Mark and now all I remember is a blur of chocolate drinks. Something with cherry, another one with coffee liqueur and a banana one. There were also a couple of sips from a Creamsicle drink, a…
'80s Karaoke Night at the Hollywood Bowl
This sounds so awesome: Totally ’80s Karaoke Night at the Hollywood Bowl, featuring three big ’80s groups with Jane Wiedlin from the Go-Gos hosting. The Bowl’s big screens, normally used for close-ups of performers in concert, will instead be put to good use as a karaoke screen jogging your memory about your fave songs. My bro,…

Baby's First Dodger Game: Dodgers vs. Padres
After living in L.A. for as long as I have, it’s a wonder that I’ve never gone to a Dodger game at least once before. I’m not a baseball fan, or a fan of sports in general, but that’s no excuse. Los Angeles has a baseball team, I should at least represent. So when Goldstar…
Side Door: Members Only in the 900 Club
Believe it or not, there’s a bar in laidback Manhattan Beach where you are only allowed entrance if you’re a member of their exclusive “900 Club.” It’s called Side Door and there’s no sign outside. If you go there early enough on a Saturday night you might be able to snag a seat in their…
L.A. Spa Week Returns: Beauty on the Cheap
Flickr Shot by Blackwings Spa Week is back! That’s right, it’s the only time you can go to a lux L.A. spa and pay only $50 for a treatment that might normally be twice that. You can feel like a million bucks without having to feel like you spent that much. This event, sponsored by…
Massive Attack's Hollywood Bowl Debut
Remember trip hop? So 15 years ago. Actually when I heard that Massive Attack was doing a show at the Bowl for their first time, I was really excited. I loved Mezzanine. I love the Bowl. But then my bro, whose musical taste I highly respect, said that they’re not as good as they used…
