We aren't the only ones sorry to see Chris Penn go; there have been tons of tributes and goodbyes. Still no news of what might have been the cause, but according to the Santa Monica Daily Press, some neighbors thought he was staying up late and acting erratically. Hey, blogland is all about erratic behavior and late nights.

It appears that today will be a quiet day—not much going on the world of arts and entertainment, though what is going on is well worth your time. LAist encourages everyone to get out of the house and enjoy the last waning days of summer as we creep toward Labor Day.
