The past 2 weeks I’ve been slacking on the Weekend Guide, posting it late on Friday night. I’m trying to get back on track and stay focused one what’s really important, you my dear blog. Alrighty, lots of good stuff happening this weekend so lets get right into it!
Friday Feb 24th
Start your Friday at OhWow in West hollywood seeing Terry Richardson‘s Terrywood Hollywood themed art opening from 6-9pm.
At 8pm on Friday night I will be watching Ronna and Beverly at the UCB Theatre. Tickets are $10, and the show will be amazing because it always is. I wait for this show every month and this months Guests are Jeff Garlin and Marissa Jaret Winkor. Check out the video to get a feel for this “All Jew Review”:
Saturday Feb 25th
If you aren’t up for a walk or hike, check out The Carnival of Magic Medicine downtown from 1-9p. Advance tickets are $20 and the event includes kids yoga, visits with Tarot Readers and Shamans, a great auction including services and art from well-known people/places around LA. Check out the schedule HERE. The event sounds pretty cool, so if you have an open mind about this lifestyle, hop on the metro and head downtown to the event.
Chevy Metal is playing on Saturday at Rock & Roll Pizza in Topanga Canyon at the Rack. I know I don’t seem very “rock and roll” so why am I telling you about this? Because Chevy Metal is a 70′s cover-band with the drummer and guitarist from the Foo Fighters. Awesome, right?

Hadley Holliday has an art opening displaying her abstract series Warp and Weft, from 6-8pm in Culver City at Taylor de Cordoba.
Finish out your fun-filled Saturday with an 8pm visit to Meltdown Comics for their Spidey and Friends show. Tickets are $10 and you can get them HERE.
Sunday Feb 26th
On Sunday you will find me at CoLAboration‘s craft beer event downtown at The Belasco. $25 gets you a glass (which is your entry into future CoLAboration events) and 3 beer tokens (good for 3 fills). Come check out the scene and try some new brews. For those of you who can’t make it, I’ll have a full report next week.
For people boycotting the Oscars, check out the Upright Citizens Brigade 7:30p FREE Asssscat Show. Because it’s free, they don’t take reservations which means you need to get there early to claim your spot in line. But the waiting pays off by getting to see some of the best improvers in the biz. Many of them haven’t achieved stardom, although they should. Chad Carter and Sean Conroy are 2 of the greatest improvisors who frequent this show. You need to see them in person, in addition to Matt Besser, Matt Walsh, and Ian Roberts (3 of the 4 UCB founders) who also often frequent this show. They never give the line-up in advance but it’s always good. They do this free show every Sunday and you should check out a video I found of a prior show on youtube:
I was going to update about another LA Walk, but that will have to wait. I had so much fun tonight at Tony’s that I must explain it. Yes, that’s right, after 1 month of no-beer-turkey-trot-training, I’m back at Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank! Since I am facebook friends with Tony’s, as you all should be (HERE), I knew that they were having a deal on drinks for a cause. Tonight if you have a mustache and order off their specialty menu, they donate a $1 to a prostate cancer charity. Keep in mind, men with beards have a great advantage. Anywho, Amber and I decided to go and she found $2 mustaches at a local costume shop. Seeing as the money goes to a good cause, we just HAD to go to Tony’s 
. They were celebrating Movember which is all about growing mustaches in support of fighting prostate cancer.. check out the website HERE. A TAPS rep was there giving out free samples of TAPS Stout (super strong but yummy).
I think Amber would be okay with showing you this. She donned the “Scoundrel” which had lovely curves and I donned the “Partyboy” which made me look like my name was on a sex offender list somewhere. I had to tell you about this cool event and hopefully there are Movember events happening in your neighborhood. Check out the Threadless T-Shirt Challenge!
