Like a good man, a good toilet can be hard to find. And much like in the ways of love, it seems the more desperately you need one, the harder it is to find one. This need to pee freely--and in a clean environment--has sprung forth a website called MizPee, which keeps tabs of the toilets in several major cities, including our own. Site users can search by address and see how local loos...

Lately when I browse Craigslist, I am alarmed at how many posts are from musicians who call themselves 'professionals'. Any struggling songwriter or musician, trying to put together a band, at first glance might read that and think, "Oh good, I don't want anyone flaky." But don't be mislead - what this means is that they expect to get paid. Now, more power to you, if you are a professional and you make a living that way, but where the hell are all the folks that just want to start a band? Somewhere in our early 20s, does this just not happen anymore?

An incredible game took place in Los Angeles last night, and it had nothing to do with the Staples Center, USC, or Kobe Bryant. In fact, the two teams facing off had nothing to do with LA or even the United States, really. The Coliseum played host to the national soccer teams of bordering nations Mexico and Guatemala, and true to past instances when Central American squads play in the States, heads rolled in...

Go to the Griffith Observatory and see the Planetarium. That is some uplifting...

Hell, this may be illegal, but if the LA River plan is going to crawl upstream at a snail's pace, screw it -- the time to play is now! Not when we're 75 years of age. We caught this father/son urban adventure duo in Sherman Oaks paddling downstream towards Studio City. "Is this a tradition?" we screamed down. "Nope, it's our first time," the dad yelled back. We asked how he came up with...

If you saw a group of nearly 1,000 bicyclists, many in clown attire, riding around town on Friday night, then you saw the Midnight Ridazz on their monthly ride enjoying the streets of our dear city. The 17.5 mile ride dipped south from Vermont/Hollywood to USC and weaved it's way back. But what could be one of the most enjoyable rides can also be dangerous as at least 5 accidents occurred. "I just left...
