Friday
 · More charitable boozing: "L.A. to LA - Los Angeles Supports Louisiana" hosts a wine-tasting event at Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, hosted by Harry Shearer and featuring the DJ skills of Paul Oakenfold. $100 bucks a ticket, but it all goes to hurricane relief.
· Friday's music: M. Ward and Dios Malos at the Ford Amphitheater; Maximo Park does a second night at the Troubadour; Ok Go! at the Roxy.
Saturday
 · The Scratch DJ Academy is giving a free DJ lesson at their open house on Saturday. We suspect there is more to the art than listening to only one side of your headphones and being photographed by the Cobrasnake. [via Cheapskatin']
· The Apple Store at the Grove hosts "Los Angeles Video Bloggers-Meet The Vloggers" a seminar demystifying the art of posting full-motion video on your blog. A must-attend for anyone interested in becoming an amateur pornography mogul!
Sunday
 · Dude—Celebrity Surf Jam. Seriously.
· The UCLA Extension Writers Faire hosts a bunch of free workshops, perhaps offering you enough help and encouragement to temporarily prevent you from giving up your crazy Hollywood dreams and moving back East.
· The criminally amusing Andy Kindler anchors Sunday Comedy at Room 5. Really, we think he has a criminal record.
