Things to do for August 26, 2010

The Weekender

Cabaret, Mammoth and Bar S’mores

The weekend is on a five-second delay.

Thursday
Designer Neckwear from Britain, Half Off
BRAND-NEW PERKS

Designer Neckwear from Britain, Half Off

This week, Perks is bringing you cutting-edge designer ties from Motto and Crest, for half off. Hailing from across the pond, these ties are manufactured in the English tradition, combining classic menswear fabrics (like tweed) with dashes of more unconventional ones (like leather). Take note: a tweed-and-leather suit is still not a good idea.

Back-Room Cabaret at Royal/T
PARTY IN THE BACK

Back-Room Cabaret at Royal/T

Your favorite gallery/cafe staffed by Japanese maids has gotten even crazier. Beginning tonight, the back room becomes a venue for live music, cabaret and who knows what else. It all starts with a Chilean troubadour and a lounge singer who leans toward hair metal. Just your typical Thursday night...

Wed-Thu starting Aug 26, 6-11pm, Royal/T, 8910 Washington Blvd, 310-559-6300

$39 Flights, $39 Rooms at Mammoth

Get online by Tuesday to book a trip, and you can snag a quick $39 flight... and a $39 room at the Mammoth Mountain Inn. Consider it a much-needed altitude adjustment.
