Brakes are required at the Red Bull Soapbox Races but a sense of self-preservation is not. The event has been held in more than 40 countries over the past decade, with vehicle designers thinking way outside of their so-called-box. It stopped in downtown Los Angeles for the first time on Saturday.

The LA Derby Dolls showcased their up-and-coming skaters on Saturday night with a rare "all-ages" Halloween-themed battle called the Baby Doll Brawl. Aspiring Derby Dolls, who participate in the weekly "Fresh Meat" practices, were formed into two teams named "Toil 'n Trouble" and "Witch Slap" and given a chance to show their stuff. The real "treat" for the fans was a mini-bout at halftime amongst the Junior Derby Dolls, who are the next generation of young skaters in their teens and younger.

Baby Loves Disco, the hottest underage club in town, is celebrating Mother’s Day early by hosting their monthly party this Saturday, May 3rd at Social Hollywood on Sunset Blvd. Now hold on Juno, when I say “underage” I mean really, really underage. Baby Loves Disco was created for parents to be able to go out, have a beer or cocktail, and socialize with other parents without having to worry about nanny-cams and ridiculously overpriced day care. Moms and dads can bring their kids ages 6 months to 7 years to run around the dance floor, grab a juice (no gin) pack, and pop bubbles that blanket the ball room while classic hits, mostly Michael Jackson ironically, blast out from local DJ’s.
