Friday
 · Music round-up: Bob Dylan at the Forum; Johnny Vatos Tribute to Halloween featuring members of Oingo Boingo at the Greek; A.R.E. Weapons at the Viper Room.
· Mitch Albom will be at the Borders in Torrance (yes, Torrance) to sign his latest book, For One More
Day. We mention this only because some of you may require firsthand proof that books sold at Starbucks are produced by actual, hacky writers, not incredibly sappy baristas.
Saturday
 · More music: Mew at the El Rey, The Decemberists at the Wiltern; Beirut at the Troubadour; the Beastie Boys at Etnies Skatepark in Lake Forest, CA.
· Get shitfaced, hurl rubber balls, and mangle words at the 4 Square Championships and Drunken Spelling Bee at the Met Theater. Really, either a 4 Square game or a drunken spelling bee would have been pretty great on its own.
· Another activity best undertaken while greviously drunk: the Hooray for Hollywood Scavenger Hunt at Hollywood and Highland.
Sunday
 · Still more music: Placebo and She Wants Revenge at the Greek; Comets on Fire and The Fiery Furnaces at the Palace; You Am I and Lou Barlow at Spaceland.
· Reno 911's Carlos Alazraqui hosts the "season finale" of Fries on the Side at the SMC Theatre, a sketch show where they take only two hours to prepare. Sounds dangerous.
