Don’t know what’s so funny here. Warning: Spoiler to follow. It was a Sunday after two nights of crazy Halloween partying and I just wanted to enjoy a harmless, mindless movie. A comedy. I remembered the commercials for Prime: “older” woman dates much younger man and tells all to her therapist, only to find out…

Bar 107: Downtown's Hip Hidden Gem
Yet ANOTHER reason to go downtown? Bar 107 and its late-night 8-11pm happy hours virtually every night, unless there’s a cabaret show. Check the calendar. And Bar 107 also offers $1 rum shots on Thursday nights and DJs almost every night. For October, Friday nights boasted a Dancing Downtown event, doesn’t say the same for…
Free Wine Tastings at Downtown's San Antonio Winery
My friend Beth told me about this winery located near Downtown L.A. A winery near downtown? I imagined a vineyard in Skid Row….that doesn’t sound very tasty. But apparently it really is. About a hundred years ago, the L.A. River was lined with wineries, but then Prohibition jolted the wine industry. San Antonio Winery survived…
Bottoms Up, Little Buddha: Elixir Tonics Mini 6-Pack
What a cute gift to give to the certain someone in your life who believes in sound body, sound mind; who shops at Whole Foods religiously and does yoga regularly; or who simply appreciates something that seems “so L.A.” The tonics are all-natural fruit and herb beverages formulated according to traditional Chinese medicine, and are…

From the sounds of things, it seems like all the cool kids are partaking of the sinister celebrations in Sin City this year for Halloween.

L.A. Panorama Project: Why Nobody Walks in L.A.
I can see for miles and miles: Not from the exhibit but, rather, an equally cool site of panoramic shots. The thing that bugged me about New Year’s 2000 in L.A. was there was no Times Square, no central area for Angelenos to converge on to celebrate the millenium together. The New Year’s TV specials…
Do They Know It's Halloween?: Benefit Song by Beck, David Cross, Arcade Fire and Others
This is awesome. The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative (Beck, The Arcade Fire, David Cross, etc.) has come out with a single called “Do They Know It’s Halloween?” Both a trick and a treat, this satire — as well as a charity-benefit song — will donate all the proceeds from its sales to UNICEF. You…
So Fully Awesome: A John Hughes Tribute Play at the King King
Bender: Sporto, do you get along with your parents? Andrew: Well, if I say yes I’m an idiot, right? Bender: You’re an idiot anyway. But if you say you get along with your parents, well then you’re a liar, too. –From The Breakfast Club If you can recite every line of Weird Science word for…
One More Try: Rudy's Barber Shop on Melrose
Remember how I said that you were better off going to Fantastic Sam’s than to Rudy’s Barber Shop in the Standard on Sunset? Well, I found out that there’s a new Rudy’s on Melrose, and by “new” I mean a year old (it opened Labor Day 2004). I needed a cheap, hip haircut fast so…

Jeepers! Halloween Weekend is only a week away and you’re still not dressed up but I’m sure you have lots of places to go….But fear not, hopefully this’ll help.
