NEW VENUES: WESTSIDE TAVERN & THE LANDMARK THEATERS at WESTSIDE PAVILION

So it's not brand new but fairly new and to be honest I've been sleeping on the spot.  But a meeting brought me over to this spot and I was very much feeling it.  The new Landmark theater has plenty of state of the art things going on with the marquee boards, ticket kiosks, concession menu displays and more.  The layout is very modern and spacious and the entertainment factor almost surrounds you.  The lifestyle elements are very trendy with a lounge in the lobby that features a full bar and flatscreens so you can catch that game score and a drink before taking your date to see the popular movie choice of the evening.  You can even do the whole dinner and a movie experience if you eat at the Westside Tavern just below the theater.  With many choice entrees, appetizers, a full bar and decadent layout, you can impress your date and not feel rushed between the dinner and movie venues.  To check the menu go here and to see what movies are playing, go here.

EVENTS: DIARY OF A CATHOLIC SCHOOL DROPOUT (PLAY)

I usually never post things about plays, musicals, poetry etc...but it's definitely something I need to start looking into.  For one gents, it's a good thing to take a date to and be open to.  Two, there is a wealth of talented actors/actresses from the Los Angeles area.  I don't mean the 50,000 people who take headshots because someone said they're attractive and start calling themselves actors/actresses because they don't want to work a real job.  I'm talking about the people who honestly want to act to pay their bills.  I know one, her name is Dolann Adams and she's in this play above.  Take a look at the flyer and get the details.

And judging by the title of the production, I know a number of readers out there who can relate on some level.  Shouts to Erlinda for putting me onto this.
