UPDATE: Looks like the forces of Truth, Justice and the Irishican Way prevailed everyone - It's not hard in here for a Once after all:

Yesterday commenced with an LA bang. I started off at the Indaba music loft again because they have been hosting a plethora of good (free!) shows. There's something comforting about watching bands from someone else's living room. I showed up around mid-day to catch one of my favorite LA bands Division Day. Front man Rohner Segnitz and the boys ran through a pleasant acoustic set. With drummer Kevin Lenhart on shakers, Division Day sounded...

My inner 10-year-old just had an amazing time at "Transformers", while my 26-year-old self took a break from worrying about plot-holes and decent acting. All said, it was everything I wanted it to be. Give reality a break for 2 hours and go enjoy yourself. But if alien robots aren't your thing, there are a few other options opening Friday. Transformers - It isn't even the weekend and this movie has already brought in...

- "The county Board of Supervisors has declared zero tolerance for families living on skid row and is concentrating efforts on finding homes for children, even if that means children are eventually removed from their parents."

New York writer-performer Jonathan Ames is gracing our fair city this week and while he's in town he's doing some good. His performance at 826LA tonight will benefit the fab literacy organization, and your part is just 10 bucks.

John Stewart recently called John Hodgman "very funny." That would be enough to keep us home playing the Daily Show video over and over, but it's not enough for Hodgman. He was center stage at the McSweeney's thing at REDCAT on Saturday and will be at Book Soup tonight. Because it's all about his book, The Areas of My Expertise, which includes the heretofore unknown Hobo Rebellion. Stewart says the book should not be taken as "real history" — and if there's anyone who knows their fake news, it's John Stewart. Tonight, 7pm, Book Soup in West Hollywood with fellow funny New YorkerJonathan Coulton.

A trip to check out More Than Waffles was aimed at satisfying both the craving for a good breakfast and the desire to check out a new (to us) place. It's been a family owned and operated joint in the Encino Town Center since 1975. You'd think they'd have figured out a few things by now. It was late morning on a weekday, when the breakfast rush should be over and the crowds thinned out. The small dining room was fairly empty, and we were seated right away at a wobbly table. The bus boy brought us waters, and we ordered coffee. But when we took our first, much-needed, sip, to our shock and surprise, the coffee was vanilla flavored! It wasn't awful,but not what we'd expected, and would have liked to have been warned about. We wanted to sample their waffles, surely, but, like their name implies, we were eager for more than that. Their menu has about a dozen or so main belgian waffle dishes, with sweet-tooth friendly concoctions of gooey sauces, fruits, with whipped and ice creams. They serve their egg dishes with a waffle instead of potatoes or toast, so an omlette seemed like an ideal choice--a little protein with our carbs. We ordered a "Belgian Omlette" which is served with mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, and cheddar cheese. By the time our food arrived, our coffee cups were empty, and although staff were milling about everywhere, none of them were paying attention to the tables; they were socializing, wrapping their arms around each other and going in and out to the patio.
