This Weekend: Eco Suave

Anyone who says summer has come and gone is an f'in moron. And we've got the goods to prove it.

This weekend, give back and get crazy all night every night. Drink Mai Tais in Malibu and save the surf; Sip, spend and dance the day away in Venice; Make time for some sweet, sweet Abysnthe in Beverly Hills , and roll Downtown for some sizzlin' Sumo faceoffs.

Sunday night? Don't even think about slowing down, cause the Sultan of Suave is gonna rock away the hillbilly blues till the cows come stumbling home.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present, your Weekend Guide to Getting Down:

 
FRIDAY SEPT 5TH: Malibu and Venice
Are Where It's At

Real Gidget

Ditch work early today and head to the beach (Yeah yeah, we know it was only a four day week, but still).

If you plan on blowing your cash on the good cause in Malibu, be sure to take advantage of all the free vino at Abbott Kinney's First Fridays, the funky little arts district party where west siders roam the streets slap happy wine drunk and shops kindly stay open late to indulge the impulse buyers. Seriously, it's a really good time.

SATURDAY SEPT 6TH: DRINK UPTOWN, FIGHT DOWNTOWN
