Extra, Extra: Young, Dumb, and Full of Come

• A bit of happy news for our sister site over in Texas: the Austin Chronicle just named Austinist Best Local "Fun" News Site. Yay for the Ist-iverse!
  
• The correct term is babes, sir: "Point Break Live!" -- yes that's right, as in the classic 1991 Patrick Swayze-Keanu Reeves film -- is coming to a stage near you!
  
• NBC is leaving its longtime home in Burbank for the greener pastures of Universal City, or Campo de Cahuenga as it was formerly known. LA Observed is on the story.
  
• Keep this in mind next time you're about to lay the horn or the middle finger on somebody: the five-year-old who was hit by two competing "road rage" drivers died today. His mother and sister are still in critical condition.
  
• But will this death and the deaths of three others earlier this week actually change how street racers and road ragers drive? Doubtful. I'm pretty ashamed of you right now, Los Angeles.
  
• Perez Hilton...being sued...AGAIN...Britney...videos...yawwwwwwwwwwn. I just wish his campaign to get Feist on the top of the charts was getting more press.
  
• So okay: the blog medium will never be as legit as the newspaper. Except -- all the newspapers are blogging -- even David Hiller, publisher of the LA Times, will have his own blog, as revealed in an internal memo. Are the newspapers really clear on this whole concept?
  
• The Latino Film Festival will be continuing all weekend at the ArcLight; screenings will include a retrospective on the works of Gabriel Figueroa and Ignacio Lopez Tarso.
  
• We are following Halloween festivities all October long: and now the CreepyLA website has an interactive map of all the haunted houses and other "supernatural activities" happening in Los Angeles!
  
• Medical marijuana activists camped themselves outside the governor's office today, rallying to show support for the many clinics which have been raided by federal agents. The protest was "punctuated by the smell of pot." Nice!
