What if the future really did look like a cross between a Eurovision song contest and Cats? It would be The Apple, perhaps the oddest (some would say crappiest) musical ever made....

Yours for under $1,300! In today's terms that would be a 10-inch iMac, or 3 iPods with 30GB! We especially love the disk drive segment -- oh, how we loved floppy disks. The Apple IIc changed our life, for many it was first computer in our household and our first experience with computer games. Winter Games -- with the Communist countries excluded -- awesome.

After an exhausting — and possibly soggy — day at the LA Times Festival of Books tomorrow, literati of the most fun persuasion will be heading to Chinatown for the Vermin on the Mount reading series. Held at the Mountain Bar, this Vermin is co-produced by Swink Magazine, and promises to be both liquor- and literature-friendly. Readers coming in from afar include poet Alex Lemon, Steve Almond (My Life in Heavy Metal), and litblogger Moorishgirl (aka Laila Lalami); local litbloger Mark Sarvas of The Elegant Variation is on the bill too, with fellow Angelenos Julianne Flynn and Lisa Glatt (The Apple's Bruise). With martinis from the bar, you'll be perfectly equipped to take in this new ratpack.

We couldn’t help but notice mention of a couple local Cali institutions in Jane Levere’s NY Times piece about the remarkably unsophisticated daytime food tastes of contemporary culinary luminaries. Turns out famed New York-based chef Daniel Boulud recently visited the Apple Pan, while French Laundry and Per Se super star chef Thomas Keller relishes the In-N-Out burger—fries—shake—trifecta.

She hits all the usual suspects like Original Tommy Burgers,The Apple Pan, Fatburger and In-N-Out, but, surprisingly, fails to look in on Astro Burgers. Guess, it's too vegetarian for the list.
