The weekend's taking Mom to the Emmys.
WRITE STUFF
David Cross at Book Soup
When an Arrested Development alum writes a book called I Drink for a Reason and rolls
through town to sign it, well, we don't know why you'd want to be anywhere else. Bonus points for dressing
as a never-nude.

'FRO REAL
Basement Skate Party
To finish off the five-course finery of your power dinner this evening, a fully committed retro skate party
awaits in Echo Park, with booze, skates and short shorts as far as the eye can see. Some are even worn by
the girls.
EIGHT'S TOO MUCH
Lucky 7 at Katsuya Hollywood
To mourn (or maybe celebrate) the Pantages going dark for seven weeks, the neighboring Katsuya's got seven
dishes—Honey Yuzu Wild Shrimp, Spicy Garlic Wings—for seven bucks. And if you
want to add some truffles or foie gras to your sliders, you can guess how much that'll cost you.
- 411:
- Daily, 5-7pm, through Nov 1, Katsuya, 6300 Hollywood Blvd, 323-871-8777
THREE SHEETS
Toga Party at Rush Street
With tongue firmly in cheek (we think), the perma-partiers at Rush Street commemorate the studying habits of
new coeds citywide with drink specials, Greek grub like Roast Leg of Lamb With Fig Jus and…a
wet-toga contest.

- Sept 18-19, Rush Street, 9546 Washington Blvd (at Culver), 310-837-9546
