L.A. Connection's Night of the Living Dead: Laugh Until You Drop…Dead!
Aren’t zombies funny? They walk really slow, have no real strength and yet many people have died at their decrepit hands which, oddly enough, can easily rip the living to pieces. So it seems like a natural fit that comedy improv company L.A. Connection–responsible for SNL alum Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan and Jon Lovitz–will be…
A Few Good Men? HurryDate Singles Wine Tasting
I finally decided to try one of those paid-for dating events and am dragging my friend Andrea to the HurryDate Singles Wine Tasting at Tangerine Cantina on May 30th. OK, maybe not “drag” since she bought the tickets this time but we’re both curious to try it out. Sick of meeting guys in bars we…
Fast Times at Ridgemont High Screening at the Skirball
Before Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow, there was Jeff Spicoli. Before American Pie there was Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This classic to be appreciated and handed down to our children for generations to come has served as a social commentary on teen angst, an Everyman tale through high school and a jumping off point for…

SM Farmer's Market: Omlettes, Crepes & Eye Candy
One of my favorite Sunday pastimes is to go to the farmer’s market in Santa Monica on Main Street (9:30am to 1pm), grab some food at one of their many food booths as well as some pomegranate juice from a juice stand, and then claim a spot on the lawn where I can people watch…
Beauty on the Cheap: $50 Spa Treatments 4/17-4/23
Crackhead reader Jennifer (and of course I mean that in the most affectionate way possible) gave me a heads-up about Spa Week, sponsored by Allure magazine. (Sure, you gotta register with the site to see the specials but that ain’t no thang.) For the week of April 17th to April 23rd, you can get full-service…
Can I Get an Amen? HoB Easter Gospel Brunch
Easter’s coming up and even though I don’t go to church, I always loved going out for Easter Sunday brunch. All that food! So combine an Easter buffet with Southern comfort food and gospel and you have yourself one soul-rousing Sunday. Every Sunday the Sunset Strip’s House of Blues throws a gospel brunch which features…

Rockenwagner Bakery: Rocken Cinnamon Roll
Flickr Shot by dotsara I don’t know why but every time I think of Rockenwagner I think of Ah-nuld. I know, that’s Schatzi’s but the fact that both restaurants were located on Main Street in Santa Monica was just enough for me to confuse the two. Anyhoo, what should really end all confusion is the…
