Heading to Coachella this weekend? Have an iPhone? Make sure you get the updated 2010 Coachella iPhone app, designed by Angeleno Dave Bullock, downloaded before you go. The app, updated since its launch last year, includes new features like a Forum Browser (message board), parking spot map marking function, simplified friend finder function, offline interactive map cacheing, and more. The Coachooser enables you to plot your own schedule based on the lineup. You can also upload photos to the app to share with friends. And since you spent enough on those 3-day-passes, this app is free! Just make sure you aren't tipsy enough to drop your iPhone into a porta-potty. more ›

There's a long--and growing--list of places who are offering freebies and treats to people who say they voted or who can show their "I Voted" sticker. Some places offering goodies include Starbucks (free cup of coffee), Krispy Kreme (free donut), O!Burger (free fries or cookies with any burger order), and the Colorado Wine Company (1/2 off wine), to name a few. This of course immediately produces some ire among those who voted by mail and didn't get a sticker and those whose citizenship/residency prohibits them from voting despite having political awareness; it's no fun to be left out, especially when we're talking free coffee and donuts! more ›

Say Aloha to the the 50th state with a taste of the food and fun of Hawaii. Lots of Hawaiian shirts and grass skirts, vendors with all sorts of goods, fresh floral leis, loads of food (shaved ice!!!!), and beer. Luckily it won't be a grillion degrees out in Northridge, but put on your Hawaiian Tropic just in case--that California sun still burns through the fog. more ›
