Flickr Shot by GardenGal I never went to my prom. It just seemed lame. Instead, I think I stayed home and practiced dance moves in front of my mirror. Have I always regretted that I skipped out on what should be a landmark occasion in every teen girl’s life? Nope, especially since I knew that…

REMINDER: Tix for Radiohead at the Greek on Sale
Tickets for Radiohead (one of the best bands EVER) at the Greek Theatre June 29th and 30th are scheduled to go on sale this Thursday the 25th at 10am. For some reason there doesn’t seem to be any presale information through KROQ or Radiohead’s W.A.S.T.E. site. WTF? But about the only thing you can do…
Roll Out the Barrel: 2004 Barrel 27 Syrah
Flickr Shot by Angelocesare My friend Beth was throwing one of her fabulous wine and cheese parties the other night where everyone was required to bring a bottle of Syrah, Riesling or a dessert wine along with cheese or dessert. But she specified that as much as we all love Two-Buck Chuck that we should…
Dancing With Wolves: Wolf Mountain Sanctuary
Flickr Shot by Cornettino This is the most awesome thing I’ve ever heard about (thanks to Abby for the tip) and it’s so cool that Southern Californians can take part in something like this: You can go to the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary in Lucerne Valley and not only visit with the captive rescued wolves there…
All About the Girls: LA.com's Party at The Day After
Last night at The Day After in Hollywood, LA.com/Hardball Productions threw a benefit and silent auction/Web site launch party. Yeah, it had so many things going on, my girlfriends and I didn’t know what to expect or even how we were supposed to dress for this thing. Get dolled up for the silent auction benefitting…
Arclight's Dawn in the Dome: The Da Vinci Code
Am I the only one NOT insanely excited about this movie coming out? Apparently since Arclight Cinemas is doing a special screening of The Da Vinci Code at 6am in 2K digital projection in its famous dome theater. Crazies showing up that early will get an “exclusive” The Da Vinci Code t-shirt for their troubles….

This year from May 31 to July 5, L.A.’s historic preservation organization will focus on L.A.-centric films in Broadway’s historic theatre district as an homage to our lovely City of Angels.

Border Grill Girls' Paella Cooking Class
Flickr Shot by Astrid. Border Grill is one of my favorite happy hour spots for their $3 everything (basically). But I also heart them for their innovative, colorful and savory Tex-Mex cuisine. And is it just me or does even their water taste good, too? Now, the Two Hot Tamales, chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, will be…
To Be a Kid Again: Arena Interactive Lounge
This year is a landmark birthday for me, so instead of celebrating turning older I figure why not celebrate my misspent youth? The Arena Interactive Lounge in West L.A, a gaming lounge complete with TVs and video game consoles galore, sounded like the perfect place to be a kid again. They have every gaming console…
Upstairs 2: The Wine House Opens New Restaurant
After 25 years in the wine business, the Wine House in West L.A.–my go-to place for last-minute housewarming Chardonnay or Hollywood Bowl Cabernet–has opened up a new restaurant/wine bar on its second level which before had been reserved for wine classes, seminars and catered private parties. Simply called Upstairs 2, it will offer an everchanging…
