Weekend Guide
Lounge at Lou’s:
Lou’s is a wine bar located in a strip mall, but don’t let that turn you off. He flies in sausages from Seattle’s Salumi (Mario Batali’s dad’s famous artisan sausage shop), features sustainable wines from growers like Olivier Pithon and provides a laid back setting to enjoy quality food and tasty wine.
Location: Lou’s on Vine, 724 Vine Street in Hollywood, CA 90038. Tel: 323-962-6369 Hours: Lou is open Monday–Saturday, 6 PM–12 AM. The kitchen is open until 11 PM. Web: http://www.louonvine.com/
Tired of crappy, chainy, GMOy pizza? Check out Pizza Fusion—an Earth Friendly Pizza Chain that has just opened in Santa Monica. Not only does it use organic ingredients, it delivers in hybrid vehicles, is LEED certified, buys wind energy offsets and more. Be on the look out for a Hollywood branch opening soon…Now you too can save the world, one pizza at a time.
Location: 2901 Ocean Park Avenue. STE 123 Santa Monica CA 90401 MAP Phone: 310-581-2901 Web: http://www.pizzafusion.com/santamonica/
Head to the tranquil Topanga hills for an outdoor screening of shorts, documentaries and other independent and experimental films. There will also be panels, workshops and other educational events for film enthusiasts. Local Topanga staples like Abueltia’s Mexican Restaurant and Froggy’s Fish Market will be hosting receptions for your viewing and snacking pleasure.
The festival takes place from August 6th though August 9th. For more information visit http://topangafilmfestival.com/

Remember what I said—relax this weekend. Let someone else do the shopping, specifically Paradise O, a full service organic produce delivery company that drops off a box of fresh seasonal fruits and veggies right at your door (and before 8 a.m.) All you’ve got to do is bring in the box. Order your own delicious assortment (large boxes start at $25) at http://paradiseo.com/

I want to go because this is the perfect opportunity for me to say I am sorry to a friend. I would have my friend come with me and apology with this show. A great chance for me to say I am sorry while watching the performance drinking wine and eating cheese.

I would love to spend a beautiful summer evening under the TreePeople stars with my spouse. A pic nic before the show sounds awesome! An absolute must do.
