I was pretty much horrified through the first few songs of Junk, A Rock Opera. I really wanted to punch someone. It's not that it was bad, but the context was driving me crazy. And I think that was the point: to make the 9-to-5 office world seem like a horrible place where the only excitement of the morning is your Starbucks (yes, there was a song about Starbucks). more ›

Last summer LAist embarked on an ice cream tasting trek of the city, and on our journey we discovered the deliciously different ice creams of Mashti Malone's. When every last drop was licked in those hot months, Mashti Malone's came up ranking #2 on our list, which isn't too shabby considering the vast array of choices in town. This weekend there's a special tasting event hosted by Pleasure Palate called "We All Scream for Ice Cream" at Mashti Malone's. For the $12 fee, you can enjoy a tour of Mashti Malone's original Hollywood location, an ice cream making demonstration, a Q&A about Mashti Malone's and ice cream in general, a tasting of 6 different ice creams, and a helping of your favorite Mashti Malone ice cream treat to end the visit. RSVPs and pre-payments for this event are required since space is limited. For more information about this event you can contact the organizer by email or phone at (626) 290-3443. more ›
