The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
The weekend's price is always right.

THURSDAY TRIBUTE
John Varvatos at Fred Segal Man
In tribute to NYC's Varvatos shop
in the former home of Bowery rock club CBGB, we Angelenos now get a pop-up replica with purple velvet
curtains and a 100-strong speaker wall. At tonight's open vodka bar, you shall toast to rock.
411: Opening reception Aug 21, 6-9pm, John Varvatos at Fred Segal Man, 420 Broadway (at 5th), Santa Monica, 310-394-9814 |

THURSDAY GOSSIP GIRLS
Samantha Ronson Spins at Vinyl Vixens
Not that you read the tabloids, but if you did...well, you'd probably have read all about Mark's DJ sister.
And you'd probably know who everybody's thinking could show up to support her. But you don't, of course.
411: Aug 21, 8pm-2am (open bar 9-10pm, Ronson spins 11pm), Whiskey Blue at the W Hotel, 930 Hilgard Ave (between Weyburn and Le Conte), Westwood, 310-443-8282 |
|
FRIDAY COME ON DOWN
You and your lady have one thing in common—you both dream big. Don't worry, just because she may soon
be coyly unveiling a new car as the next model on The Price is Right...doesn't make you Drew Carey.
411: Open call Aug 22, 9am-4pm, CBS Radford Lot, 4200 Radford Ave (between Ventura and Moorpark), Studio City, 818-655-2705 |
|
FRIDAY FRESH FISH
You might not ordinarily drive all the way down to Manhattan Beach just for some sake and Spicy Miso
Chilean Sea Bass. But it is a special occasion (the weekend before a holiday weekend).
411: 451 Manhattan Beach Blvd (in the Metlox Plaza next to Shade Hotel), Manhattan Beach, 310-545-0400 |
|
SATURDAY TOYS
Finally, a forward-thinking shop has picked up on what you've known since childhood—those Lego guys
were pretty damn dapper. You'll now find Band of Outsiders stock (some classic, some inspired by the toys)
inside a Lego house bigger than anything you ever built with blocks.
411: Opening Ceremony (in the upstairs mini-mall), 451 N. La Cienega Blvd (between Melrose and Beverly), West Hollywood, 310-652-1120 |
