Flickr Shot by dotsara I need to find a new drinking hole since I’ve been ousted from my old one. Any suggestions? I’m looking for a place that makes some damn good cocktails. And don’t say the Griffin. As much as I love that’s place, it’s just too darn far from home base. And don’t…

This Weekend: Happiness Is a Warm Airplane Seat
Oh, are you going to Coachella? Well I feel sorry for youuu because look what’s going on in town while you’re all sweating it out in that concert in the desert. So what to Prince and Portishead and…and Goldfrapp? ….I’ll be crying quietly in this corner over here. Thursday, April 24 2nd Annual Charles David…
This Weekend: They're All Going To Laugh at You
If you’re not going to the Long Beach Grand Prix (fun!) or the Grilled Cheese Invitational (yum!) this weekend, maybe a pole dancing demo, mixology class or a comedy show where your iPod is the joke will tickle your fancy. Friday, April 18 SusieCakes Celebrates National Animal Crackers Day Remember animal crackers? I used to…
This Weekend: Viddy All the Chelloveks
This weekend you’ve got the Los Angeles Art Weekend and the Songkran New Year celebration in Thai Town. But if you’re still looking for other things to filly, the following are real horrorshow, my droogies. Friday, April 11 Kubrilesque: A Burlesque Tribute to Stanley Kubrick There’s something disturbing and sexy about a burlesque tribute to…
This Weekend: Here's to the Good Life
Lots of fun stuff this weekend! The Brewery Art Walk, free cocktails and know-how by a Doheny barman, and grooving on the steps of City Hall. Oh, and yet another huge-ass sale. I guess I know where my bonus check is going. Friday, April 4 Bar Keeper’s 2nd Anniversary Party The Silver Lake vintage bar…
This Weekend: All I Want To Do Is Dance
Such a weird weekend: Bollywood dance lessons, the end-of-an-institution party, and a zombies meet-and-greet. Friday, March 28 Last Chance for LF’s Only Sale of the Season On a normal day, I’d steer clear of this store. Too expensive for me. But when it has a sale going on, I’m so there. Only a few more…
This Weekend: Bring Da Noise and Da Pillow
Flickr shot of London’s mobile clubbing by chrisjohnbeckett This weekend, spend only about $15. Many free events and flash mob-type craziness. Friday, March 21 Switches with Castaneda at Original Penguin Store Three hours of free vodka drinks, discounted retro sportswear and the undiscovered band of the month, Los Feliz’s own Castaneda. Sounds like THE thing…
This Weekend: Pinch Me, I'm Not Irish
The idea of wedging myself into a pub with 200 drunken revelers doesn’t appeal to me but at all. On Monday, I’ll probably just toast a tumbler of Jameson to you from the safety of my living room. And this weekend of events is pretty Irish pub-free. Friday, March 14 Pasadena ARTRide Get some culture…
My Extra Girly SoCal Snow Day
Flickr Shot by dotsara If you got a “Snow Day” from work, what would you do for your unexpected day off? That happened to me last Thursday when I got the call in the morning that our building had shut down due to loss of power and wouldn’t be back up til 9pm. Oh darnnn!…
Nike Women's Half Marathon: Join Team Crackhead!
Now that the marathon is over and done with, I’m ready to sign up for a half marathon! And the Nike Women’s Half Marathon in San Francisco in October has caught my eye. Unfortunately the event is so popular that they do a random lottery picking who gets to participate. Anyway, I’m rounding up a…
