iParty shuffle

The sun is back out which means that new parties are on the horizon. Few tonight, mind, but we promise to get back in the know on where all the cool kids are kicking back drinks and silently judging you from starting tomorrow with a possible chance to hang out with NBA phenom LeBron James after the Cleveland Cavaliers battle your Los Angeles Lakers.
But first, the party you can't go to. Defamer.com is hosting a cocktail party tonight at a secret Beverly Hills location. We're sure that there will be local blog stars from Fugging it Up, Blogging.la, LA.com and, yes, LAist there and, hopefully, some semi-famous faces all hoping to get properly roasted by Mark Lisanti. There's a hint about the location in there somewhere. The red carpet -- there will be red carpet, right, Defamer? -- unrolls at 7pm.
We want you to be able to get your party on wherever you are, though, and so does Apple. Since we know you want to be able to taunt all your friends with the hottest new thing to hit the streets, here's a list of all our local Apple stores where you can pick up the brand new hotness, the iPod shuffle. Just don't get in our way while we're pre-ordering our mac mini. Nothing gets between us and our mac.
