To Do: Green Day's Punk Opera
1. Randall Wallace, best-selling author of Pearl Harbor and Braveheart, reads from his latest novel, Love and Honor, at the Borders in Westwood. Please don't go if you're only going to blame him for Mel Gibson's Jesus complex or what Michael Bay did to WWII. He's just a writer. No one in Hollywood pays attention to writers.
2. Green Day performs their "punk opera" tonight at the Henry Fonda. Expect a heartfelt tribue to fallen Johnny Ramone, as Green Day owes their incredible piles of cash to the influence of the Ramones. Let's hope they take a stab at covering "I Wanna Be Sedated" rather than dedicating "Time of Your Life" to Johnny.
3. Hang around the Los Angeles Korean Festival and try to find out how to get into those K-town clubs that let you smoke indoors and serve alcohol long after L.A.'s ridiculous 2 a.m. curfew.
