Friday
 1. David Foster Wallace reads as part of the UCLA Hammer's “Some Favorite Writers” series. It will be a little like hanging out with a rockstar, albeit one who writes page-long sentences and has a footnote fetish.
2. Pre-ATP Music round-up: U.N.K.L.E. at The Pearl in West Hollywood; Death Cab for Cutie at the Wiltern (good luck one night after The O.C. premiere!); Ted Leo & The Pharmacists at the El Rey.
Saturday:
 3. All Tomorrow’s Parties begins with Modest Mouse as this year's curator. (For the indie-impaired, that means they picked the bands that are performing.) Too bad they didn’t have a say in the location, since waiting on a two-hour line to cram into the Queen Mary has a really unfortunate sobering effect. The easy solution: Drink more.
4. Attend an Evening at the Playboy Mansion to benefit the Special Olympics. Sure, it's a good cause, but shouldn't a trip to the Mansion have no redeeming value other than telling your friends you got slapped by five Bunnies in the Grotto?
Sunday:
 5. All Tomorrow’s Parties continues. Still in Long Beach. And hopefully, still grievously drunk from Saturday's festivities.
6. Pink's Turns 65! 65 cent hot dogs! The line's going to run from La Brea and Melrose up into Studio City!
7. Boing Boing's blogging femme-fatale Xeni Jardin and others read irreverent shorts (that Xeni swears like a drunken pirate!) at Vermin on the Mount at the Mountain in Chinatown.
