Special guests performing with The Ravers will be Stephen Bishop (On And On, It Might Be You) and Spencer Davis (Gimme Some Loving, I'm A Man). I saw Spencer Davis perform with The Ravers......

John Travolta, in a wig and fat-suit, tops the list as the most likely thing to draw people to the popcorn stadium this weekend. A decent sci-fi flick about restarting the sun and a sure-to-be-awful movie with all the gay-marriage jokes you can stomach are also on tap. Behold the blandness of the 3rd week of July. Hairspray - I'll take "Movie I won't be seeing" for $400, Alex. Really, this is a remake......

For the remainder of your term, we suggest you should start drinking again- you're......

Dear Mr. McCourt, It's not too late. You can still fix this. No, no. I'm not talking about your ballclub. That seems to be going all right. And despite this afternoon's loss to the Rockies, your team seems to be heading in the right direction. You just swept the Giants, Furcal will be back soon, and if Schmidt's hamstring injury from today isn't serious, your squad should be in the running for an NL......

Dear LAist, Recently I ruined, uh, retired from my career. I am looking to go into a new line of work, namely the production and distribution of cocaine. Can you help? Kramer. Dear Mr. Kramer, Producing cocaine is a tricky feat involving lots of chemicals and hard-to-get ingredients. Not only is it illegal but it's sorta immoral. If you want to destroy lives while turning a huge profit, have you considered being a tobacco......

Dear LAist, I want to be good citizen but I don't want to give any money to Al Gore and watch that movie. I'm still pissed at he and Tipper's PMRC bullshit. How can I conserve energy during this heat wave? Mr. Greenthumb Venice Dear Mr. Greenthumb, We've noticed that the best way to conserve energy is to use someone else's. If you find yourself turning up the AC in your house, get out......
