Wednesday, snuggle up with some coconut milk hot chocolate (vegan vegan vegan!) and Lost. We'll be watching and crying along with you. (Serious bonus points if you garnish the cocoa with sliced bananas instead of that crazy meringue.)

Thursday, the Points play the Black Cat.

(I don't even know what to say about Saturday because we found a lot to do on this fine day. If you manage to squeeze this all in, do let us know, you animal!) Morgan and her unstoppable army of awesomeness-fiends are at it again! Celebrate the release of the third issue of Pandahead Magazine at Comet Ping Pong. Art Whino hosts the opening for John Malloy's "One Out of A Hundred." "Aspect:Ratio" closes at Irvine Contemporary. (We told you about this last month - have you been?)
