This little piggy has a small bulb which emits light out of its snout. It also says "Oink" when the light button is pressed. It gives the impression that I've grown a digit out of my hip as I usually keep my keys in my pocket with the piggy dangling outside.

I was gifted this by somebody who went to NY. Recently, I marveled at the piggys on a keychain display rack somewhere in LA, or neighboring towns/cities. I've been racking my brain to think of where I've been that I saw this little piggy. Does anybody recognize him. I'm in Echo Park, so that may give you a rough radius of where I usually do my spending.

I need to buy a few boxes of these ASAP. Are there any stores in LA where they're sold at a reasonable price? I was in the UK last Christmas and they were about 5 pounds for a box of 12. I did some of my own checking and all I've come up with is Sur La Table selling a box of 12 for 20 bucks.

Other than montrose bowl (i called and they are booked)
are there any bowling places that provide private lanes for a party? i'm looking for something close to pasadena or glendora.
T.I.A.

p.s. 300 in pasadena will be my last resort.
i wanted something like montrose bowl where they have a small number of lanes and basically only one party at a time.

Hi there,

Does anyone know of any New Years' events for the 18 and over crowd? My friends and I are mostly 19 and 20 so we can't go to most of the events we've been able to find. Does anyone know of anything we could do? Thanks!

So what is Pasadena like on Jan 2? Does it clear out enough to be able to actually go near it?

Does anyone know where I could find flea markets or swap meets or similar things tomorrow afternoon (Sunday), preferably around the Westchester area?

Harlow Gold takes you back to a time when life was simpler, drinks were cheaper! This sassy throwback to old vaudeville is done with innovative flair. Beautifully choreographed, five fabulous femme fatales take to the stage to entertain and delight folks with this sexy and witty show. Boasting dancers from 40 Deuce, The Pussycat Dolls, Dreamgirls and Bette Midler’s “The Showgirl Must Go On”, these dames are the crème de la crème. Nothing is more tantalizing than spending an evening with these shining stars of L.A.’s underground Burlesque world. All that glitters is… Harlow Gold!

All proceeds from the December 20th performance will benefit Rocko's Rescues and Oh, to be a dog. Join us for a night of entertainment... all for a good cause.

I'm wondering if anyone familiar with the rental market in LA can tell me if these listings are scams? Or if there's some catch. They seem far too good to be true to me (I'm an NYC transplant).

Thanks in advance.

alright creative people, here is a chance for you:

my boss wants to produce a MUSICAL. we are in search of the perfect already-written musical.

please email me a brief synopsis of your musical for consideration.

TELL EVERYONE

we are not in the entertainment industry, he is a real-estate developer, but it is his wish to contribute to the arts and produce a musical in 2010. this means we are not advertising in industry mags yet....

What's everyone doing for New Year's Eve??

Hello all! I come bearing Yuletide confusion.

1. I bought a Thomas train that is battery powered from the Whistle Stop in Pasadena, and as things often go, it's not working. Is there anywhere closer to Central Los Angeles than there that could fix the train?

2. I need a miniature Christmas tree, but don't know where to look. By miniature I mean only around seven inches tall, almost like one for a doll's house. Either made to look real, or ceramic, or electric is okay. I just need one that's small.

Thank you!!

Recommendations for good places to have dinner near LAX? I'm picking up a friend from the airport around the Traffic Hour of Doom and would rather eat nearby than make the slog back to my place. I'm checking around on Googlemaps and Yelp but am just finding places that sound cool but have a lot of bad reviews. Preferred price no more than $15 a person, any type of food is ok. Any ideas would be appreciated. :)
