It’s not often when I visit a place on occasion of a press release – and actually, I had asked Lindsay and H.C. to forward it to me, so Twitter gets the credit for this one. Something has to have really grabbed at me, and in this case it was the Black & Black. This [...]

When I heard, though, that the next meeting would be over absinthe, I was especially ecstatic. I knew nothing of absinthe but the tales and lore of the just recently unbanned liquor. Was [...]

I’ve been to The Echoplex many a time for many an awesome show but I can’t say I’ve ever been there in skates. Thursday, that may very well change. Filter Magazine and Whip It (a new derby doll-themed movie from Fox Searchlight) are having a special night of [...]

I’m going to New York next week. Though I’m very much a subway girl while there, there will be a lot of taxis – and at that, ones you can hail. I doubt any of us ever instructed anybody to “hail a cab” as a means of getting around Los [...]

Barnsdall Park and Silverlake Wine have made it a summer tradition to hold weekly wine tastings on Friday nights at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Hollyhock House.

All right, let’s do this. Japanese beats and Korean eats, green events and outdoor movies…it was hard to come up with a theme other than, “This is stuff I would be doing if I weren’t playing violin in a wedding tomorrow.” So it’s up to you to enjoy on my behalf. [...]
