Getting ready for your taxes and need just one more write-off, AND YOU WANT A FREE BEER? Perfect. Consider it done! Tomorrow ( Wednesday) at Ford's Filling Station  Happy Hour (5-7PM) buy a ticket to Taste of a Nation and  Ben Ford will buy you a beer. So for $25 bucks you get a ticket to graze, you save children's lives, save money on your taxes and get a free beer from a celebrity off-spring. Doesn't charity feel great? Gosh,  I'm feeling a bit drunk!
Spring is only 11 days away people, and for those of us who work 9 to 5 this means one very important thing: SUNSET . Not the street, the moment...back to be appreciated over a glass of wine instead of missed completely from the confines your cube. Il Fornaio has got a key spot, an outdoor patio with full on ocean views just overlooking the Santa Monica Pier, and while the sun sinks, you can enjoy $3 beers, $5 cocktails and vino, and if you can't wait for dinner, $5 pizzas as well. Your window of opportunity is 4:30-6:30 weekdays, so grab your sunnies and punch the gas- there's a free show every night  .
