To Do: Shopping Dangerously, Rocking In Spandex
1. Finally put your years of cardio-kickboxing or Krav Maga classes to use alongside LA's best anything-goes couture bargain hunters at the Barney’s New York Warehouse Sale. It's in a hangar at the Santa Monica airport, so there will be plenty of room for storing the shredded bodies of ill-prepared extreme shoppers sneaking in from the Valley.
2. Unleash your inner spandex-clad, crispy-haired Poison fan at the Roxy, where Metal Skool's headbanging hair-metal cover songs make you genuinely fear you're going to wake up next to Tommy Lee on Tuesday.
3. If a tongue-in-cheek appreciation of yesterday's music isn't your thing, shell out for a very sincere scalped ticket to count Sammy Hagar's chins as a reunited Van Halen rock the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. Somewhere, David Lee Roth is quietly laughing to himself, but it's probably because he's really stoned.
