It was kind of a #craycray morning behind the scenes on GDLA today, but it all turned out great. I had Grammy-winning Venezuelan party band Los Amigos Invisibles come preview their big show this Friday night at The Music Box @ Fonda. I also had Short Order and Osteria La Buca LA stop by to showcase the fantastic citywide LAdrinks2Boston fundraiser going on this Saturday. And let's not forget the fab folks from The 18th Annual Uptown Whittier Spring Antique Street Faire where there'll be tons of vendors, fashion, food & live entertainment from Memories Swing Team. Have fun!

Today I got to live out another fun-tasy ... bungee jumping! Well, sort of. It was the kiddie version with the trampoline beneath me, but that's what made it so great. None of that 'OMG I might actually die doing this' factor. It's part of the Balboa Fun Zone along Balboa Village in Newport Beach, which is kicking off a week of celebrations for the big Newport to Ensenada Yacht Race, the world's largest international sailing event. There will be lots of freebies this weekend including food samples, drinks, museum admission, live music, chalk art and mini boat-making for kids. There's also the old-school Ferris Wheel, Segways, arcade and a ton of other activities. It's worth the drive!

Balls flying at my face! Paint popping in my mouth! Must mean one thing: the World Series of Paintball is back in town. I had the chance to preview all the action and it's no joke. It was my first time EVER holding a paintball gun, let alone actually getting on the battlefield. It was a little painful and a whole lot of fun, thanks to the ladies of Team Destiny, the only all-female group in the league, who were incredibly sweet and supportive. Girl power!!! You can get your fill of surf, sand & paintballs all weekend in Huntington Beach.

It's a wacky wig & wing-filled weekend for you! Hit up the DTLA Artwalk tonight if you wanna get "A Fair and Honest Appraisal of Your Appearance" from underground (and incognito) performance art sensation The Bumbys and enjoy some yummy Korean wings & sliders from Belly BombZ. You can also get wild with Lucha Libre USA in Ontario this Sunday. But before you do, check out Chris Stills who, along with Crosby, Stills & Nash (and a ton of celebs including Jack "Nacho Libre" Black) will be at Club Nokia for the Light Up The Blues Concert - An Evening of Music to Benefit Autism Speaks.

I LOVE LA!! Where else could I get Mr. Cartoon (you know, the guy who's tatted up everyone from Snoop Dogg/Lion and 50 Cent to Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber) to show up with his lowriders, which are actual works of art that have been shown in museums around the world + Kris Jenner eating Pink's Hot Dogs aaaaaand my favorite 19-piece 1930s-style orchestra & cabaret to perform?!!!
