BTW- Liquid Brunch now ends at 2:00 PM.

Recovering from an killer Liquid Brunch at High in my black sequin Betsey Johnson bikini. FIVE STARS for happy generous waitresses, funky smooth DJ and playful company. Remember Lauren, it's a glass of vodka, not water... 

Here is what we learned on our hop!!!
Royal T- craft tables amazing: mimosa made with sparkling rose and grapefruit, even better.
James Beach: Make  a reservation as the brunch stop promptly at 2:30...What?
High: that bottomless thing?Ended at 1:00. What what?

A message for the Easter Hosts:Feeling a bit mis-lead here folks but still appreciate your generosity. The more information you can provide for the masses, the better.
And that EARTHQUAKE? Wheew! Thought it was the mimosas kickin in but, it was Mother Earth showing us how to get loose while at the bar at James Beach!

Lucky you-Chi and me have struck up an exclusive happy hour deal on Monday-oh yes- THIS MONDAY  (the 15th) at Main on Main( see post below for more venue details!)
$4 beers
$4 wells
$6 mixology, to include, the Moscow Mule, Hand Pressed Marg and a few other handcrafted drinks.
$8 wines, which are $12 by the glass normally (very good grapes inside).
There are a couple of cute guys who will entertain you with their musical stylings while you're mesmerized by Steve and John's cocktailing. If you are game, I'm going to plant hints to 10 secret words on twitter  that will score you FREE DRINKS on Monday if, and only if ,you are the first to drop the verbal bomb on the boys.
Its a bit complicated but- if you want a free drink- I am sure you will figure it out.Be a Twitter Twat! I'll be High tomorrow cause they say its gonna be 80 !!!! Hooray for sun!

Updates can be few and far between, as although I love a bit of happy hour, a girl has got to work, study, and do a little upward facing dog every day! No matter, here's the scoop on what's been up. High, on top of the Erwin Hotel- sweetest spot in Venice, and Hash, below offers some pretty great specials. If you want to be in the know, follow them on Twitter http://twitter.com/HashnHigh . Seriously, they will be good to you. Tonight there was a free app if you were paying attention!!!

REWIND.Strange Invisible Perfumes premiered a new fragrance tonight, called Fire & Cream, with (free)cocktails to boot. Although priced against the gold standard, if a roaring fire and egg nog don't get you a boyfriend by New Years, this fragrance will. GO and sniff. REWIND.
Bar Copa. Saturday night. Can't say there were any drink specials, but the DJ had lighting speed with some of the unlikeliest tunes you've ever loved, kept us sweating and ordering bottles of cheap chard all night. Recommended.
REWIND. Canal Club, Wednesday with Chi Chi and the Queen of Nice, enjoying Sake-To-Me Wednesday like it was the last on earth. Good rolls, good service, good company, good times.
REWIND. Last but not least, Abbot Kinney afterburner for those of us who work on the street.
Thank you to Bruce who hosted the after- after party- the HRHS of Nice Cream for pistacio gelato ( if you like peanut butter you will pass out!  GO TO N'ICE CREAM) and Gjelina, for still having some killer dishes after August.

I really can't blame High, the rooftop bar at the Hotel Erwin, for not having a Happy Hour. With  a flawless view of Venice beach  and perfect Sunsets, it's Happy Hour 24/7 up there. Granted, I would be HAPPIER  if they opened at 11:30 on Saturday, so I could park myself in the sun and host a revolving stream of locals as the day unfolded, but alas, they open at 3:00 on the weekends. Last night I pink-biked it over to High around ten and met a long lost friend for a little night cap. Drinks aren't cheap- but the price does include raging heat lamps, super-cool glow-in-the-dark illuminated menus, and a big ol' spa blanket if you get chilly from the ocean breeze. Tom & Tiffany keep that ship running tight and the servers are often as quick as they are cute, although the crowd can vasilate from the chic to the loudly mis-behaved. Last night, the company and the night were divine, leavng me High indeed... I recommend for splurge!
