HurryDate at Bar Copa: 17 Dates in One Night
What are the basics of dating? You meet, you determine if there’s a connection and then think about when you’ll see each other again. Usually dates can last anywhere from one hour to one day depending on how well or badly it goes. But imagine speeding up that process to just three minutes? And not…
Bustin' Out All Over: Prison Break Viewing Party?
They’ve had viewing parties at bars for Melrose Place and Sex & the City why not one for Prison Break? A friend said I should try and organize this and I think it’s an awesome idea. I just have to find out 1) if there really is an audience out there for this and 2) if…
Baby's First Dodger Game: Dodgers vs. Padres
After living in L.A. for as long as I have, it’s a wonder that I’ve never gone to a Dodger game at least once before. I’m not a baseball fan, or a fan of sports in general, but that’s no excuse. Los Angeles has a baseball team, I should at least represent. So when Goldstar…
2007 L.A. Marathon: I Think I Can, I Think I Can…
I’m finally taking the plunge. I’m going to start training for next year’s L.A. Marathon, something as a 15-year Angeleno I’ve wanted to do but had always put off until “I got in better shape” or “could run farther than 5 miles.” My friend Jules motivated me to join her in registering with the L.A.

Groundlings School: Improv for Non-Funny People
Upload videos at Bolt. The Groundlings — the birthplace of many famous actor-comedians who’ve gone on to SNL, Mad TV and sitcom fame — actually offers improv classes for non-professionals. That’s right, any unfunny schmo can take a class from the same place where people like Will Ferrell, Phil Hartman, Conan O’Brien and Pee Wee…
Dodger Stadium Blanket Night: Dodgers vs. Padres
Flickr Shot by Malingering Baseball games bore me, especially the ones on TV. I don’t care if those guys do wear tight pants. But I’m always down for having beer and hot dogs with a bunch of friends while a live game goes on in the background. And to attend a Los Angeles Dodger game is one of those must-dos every…
