GET HAPPY
Half-Off Happy Hour at Oliverio
At the Avalon, the entire bar menu is now half-off for anybody in the mood to sneak out a little early for a
Truffle Pizzetta and a Sicilian (it's tequila, blood-orange puree and lime) by
the pool. Wouldn't you know it, that's you.

No more fighting crowds to catch a flick after happy hour at Craft. The Century City theater has joined the
ArcLight, Landmark and

seats online.

FLESH
Meeting Dita Von Teese
You knew it was only a matter of time, and the fates have conspired to get you and the svelte queen of
modern burlesque into the same room—she's signing copies of her latest coffee-table tome on Friday.
What you do with this opportunity is entirely up to you.

THE ROAD
Santa Monica Pub Crawl
On Saturday you can help the Westside Food Bank in two ways. 1) Show up with some canned goods. 2) Conquer
participating bars all over Santa Monica, who'll donate part of their collective haul. And anytime you need
a breather, Joe's Pizza is 15 percent off.

THRILLER
Before He Was King
Just before Christmas, photographer Todd Gray will be signing copies of his photo
book—and selling prints, many not published and never before seen—capturing Michael Jackson
from '74 to '84. Or as we like to call them, "the un-creepy years."
