THURSDAY NIGHT MUSIC AND FLICKS

FRIDAY NIGHT FUNK
Get a first look at all the mid-century goods (including rare vintage guitars, jukeboxes and speakers) before the public.

SUNDAY STEALS
Shoppers who say "Secret Sam" at checkout get an extra 30 percent off all sale merchandise, and 50 percent if it's a sweater or outerwear.

TUESDAY NIGHT CHECK-IN
Stolichnaya vodka has created a temporary party "hotel" in Hollywood that will be home to a month-long rampage of decadent parties—and everyone getting their bottomless fill of Stoli. 411: May 3-19, 1555 Ivar Ave (between Selma and Sunset), Hollywood, for a schedule of events click here THE DADDY HOOKUP: We have some tickets to the May 8 party with DJ AM and the May 15 party with the Sons of Hollywood. Tell us why you want 'em. |
