The Weekender
The Weekend Starts Here
Could be your best weekend ever—so far.

THURSDAY AIR SUPPLY
It's an airplane hangar filled with Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Jil Sander at 50-75% off. There are no dressing rooms, though, so wear the good underwear (or at least the underwear). 411: Aug 9-19, Barker Hanger, 3021 Airport Ave (at Santa Monica Air Center), Santa Monica, 310-777-5700, barneys.com |

FRIDAY NON-DRIVING
Atop the Hotel Angeleno (that weird tubular building where Sunset meets the 405) is your new favorite happy hour. Soak up the view, enjoy half-price drinks, crunch on free Cajun chips and take pleasure in the fact you're not stuck in traffic. 411: Mon-Fri 4-7pm, West at the Hotel Angeleno, 170 N. Church Ln (at Sunset), West LA, 310-481-7878 |

FRIDAY LONELY HEARTS
Bring a basket for this psychedelic two-day anniversary party in which Cheap Trick, Aimee Mann and others perform the seminal Beatles album in its entirety 40 years after it was dreamed up. With enough wine, Mann looks like Ringo. 411: Aug 10-11, 8:30pm, Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave (N. of Franklin), Hollywood, 323-850-2000, for tickets click here |

FRIDAY DINE AND DANCE
V-Lounge Opens
