FRIDAY PURCHASE
Nobody Likes a Quitter
The new boozy memoir from Dan
Dunn, a self-proclaimed "drinker with a writing problem," is filled with
anecdotes from his life-as-party. But we're pretty sure some of them—like
Zsa Zsa Gabor
slapping Jake Gyllenhaal in an elevator—only happened in his
drunken imagination.

SATURDAY SCENE
Live Art 07
It's pretty rare
that we find a legitimate reason to brave the tourist legions inside the
Hollywood & Highland complex. This Saturday, though, we've got one. Live Art 07 brings an impressive array of bands, film, photography and art culled from
online submissions. This internet thing is really taking
off.
- 411:
- 411: Nov 3, 1-10pm, Hollywood & Highland Center, 6801 Hollywood Blvd (at Highland), Hollywood, 323-817-0200
SATURDAY SODIUM
Fries & Wine
You can't help but
wonder sometimes which rare vintage would go best with your value meal. This
tongue-in-cheek tasting at the historic Green Acres Estate pairs McDonald's
mainstays with theoretically appropriate wines, all to benefit the company's
charitable division.

- 411: Nov 3, 6:30-9:30pm, Green Acres Estate, location information provided after online registration, Beverly Hills, 323-644-3082
MONDAY NEW YEAR
Diwali Festival at Tanzore
In celebration of
the Indian New Year, your dinner will be enhanced by models traipsing around in
the country's current fashions. There will also be dancers, musicians and, of
course, Bollywood movies on the big screen.

- 411: Nov 5-8,
Tanzore, 50 N. La Cienega Blvd (between Clifton and Wilshire), Beverly Hills,
310-652-3838
MONDAY EVENT
Beer-Paired Tasting at Comme Ca
In support of a man crazy enough
to surf the entire state coastline to raise pollution awareness, the least you
can do is enjoy some Wild Alaskan Salmon with an IPA. Each course of this
benefit tasting dinner arrives with a different brew.
- 411:
- 411: Nov 5, $125 per person, Comme Ça, 8479 Melrose Ave (E. of La Cienega), West Hollywood, 323-782-1104
