I asked my best friend from SF where she wants to go when she visits me next month, if there are any places on my site that she wanted to see, and she said, “OH! I want to see The Price Is Right!” ::Pause:: Me: “You’re kidding, right?” Her: “No, I really wanna see it.”…

"Don't Hurt Me, Katrina" Fundraiser @ Hangar 1018
OK, this is a blatant promotion for a friend but I believe in his cause and he’s also a ton of fun who has a finger on the party pulse of L.A., and he’s never steered me wrong. But DJ Merlin will be spinning at a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina Victims – Part of “Don’t…
Really Bad Movie Night Party: The Horror! The Horror!
Homemade concessions stand. I like to throw parties for no particular reason, well, if only to collide worlds by getting all my friends together in one place. These parties usually range from singles mixers at a cool bar to board game night at my place. Tonight I decided to throw a “Really Bad Movie Night”…
The Buffalo Club: Wine Tasting Under the Marine Layer
After Sideways, it seems like everyone has a wine tasting these days. The Echo in Echo Park has their Irregular Wine Tasting during the summer and wine shops like the Wine House in West L.A. host their self-proclaimed “hottest ticket in town” Friday nights. But when I read that the Buffalo Club, the supper club/nightclub…
Hey Everyone, Am I on Crack?
I’m going to be away from the computer for the next three days (I know! I have a life after all) so I won’t be able to post anything, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to find out what you guys thought of this site. We’ve only been up for over a month…
Opaque: Dining in the Dark
When I first read about this series about dining in the dark, I was skeptical. Most of the time, I really enjoy the presentation and going “Oooh! Mmmmm!” when the food arrives. But then I remembered how much I like the effect that smelling good food has on my saliva glands and how then savoring…
The Aero Theatre: A Quaint Movie House Saves the World One Film at a Time
For a city that’s always on the move with an eye on the next hottest thing, we really have no sense of history here. Things are built up, neglected, fall into disrepair and then are torn down and built over. Thank goodness for conservancy groups that restore and renovate so that we can hold onto…
The Hideout: Another Gay Bar Goes Straight. Their Loss, Our Gain?
After 20 years of being a gay landmark, the oddly placed Friendship on West Channel Road off PCH is now a martini lounge, and a happening one at that. At first I wasn’t too excited about it. It seems like an unlikely spot for a nice bar. The outside is a black ship and I…
L.A. Culture-Crash Spots: Can We All Just Get Along?
So I thought it would be a cool idea to come up with a list of some places in L.A. where Angelenos, specifically Westsiders, can get out of their comfortable bubble of wide streets and pristine malls and get a taste of the other cultures out there.
A Disneyland of Drink: L.A. Theme Bars
Bored with the same old bar scene? Same old cocktails…same old setup. Inject some fun in your drinking experience. And I’m not talking ordering a drink with an umbrella in it. Check out a theme bar.
