Sobriety Checkpoints Tonight, Saturday Night
Oof. Not only did The Onion pull their print editions out of our fair city today, so did the free and cheap drink mavens at MyOpenBar.com. In an e-mail sent out this afternoon, they announced a slow down in operations: "Looking for free booze? Oh. Yeah. About that... We had to fire the entire staff after squandering most of the Myopenbar fortune on Cadillacs and Courvosier. Call it an 'MC Hammer,' call it a damn shame, but don't call it a comeback, baby, 'cause we out of this game. Come on, you all knew the party wasn’t gonna last forever." Their New York City portal will stick around for now and they will send occasional Los Angeles blasts when they "hear about something special."

That's a good idea. Hey Zach, new weekly feature!
Just heard from SFist's Editor, Brock Keeling that the SF version of the website is going down, too.
Wait, and here's the link:

LAME :( We loved MyOpenBar.
On the plus side (and quite timely), LA Decostified is revamping this week and we should have an "Open Bars & Drink Specials" tab up on our new and improved site no later than Monday!! So stay tuned. We'll do the best we can to live up to MyOpenBar's incredible finds.
I didn't use this site that much, to be honest. My time-tested tradition of finding a shady door with a bar sign over it hasn't failed me yet. then again, I'm the guy who keeps a paper calendar in his back pocket.
