Easter: Sure, it ranks below Cinco de Mayo, St. Patty's, Christmas, 4th of July, Hanukkah, New Year's, Kwaanza, Memorial Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Boxing Day, and pretty much anything that might give you a day off of work according to our Awesome Holiday rating system. But it is J.C.'s big day, and an amazing rare opportunity to bullshit around with Peeps (even bathe in them as seen above), so here are some thoughts on alternative ways to make Easter fun for grownups this year.

Get excited everyone, the best holiday of the year, Easter, is almost here! Ok, maybe Cinco de Mayo's better, and also St. Patty's, Christmas, 4th of July, Hanukkah, New Year's, Kwaanza, Boxing Day, President's Day, and pretty much anything that might give you a day off of work. But just because pastel-colored chocolates and egg painting stops being fun after (SPOILER ALERT!) you realize the Easter Bunny's not real, doesn't mean there aren't alternative, adult ways to have fun on J.C.'s big day. Here are some thoughts. More»

St. Patty's Day is nigh, and we here in Los Angeles aren't going to let cities with actual Irish communities have all the fun (suck it, Boston, Philly, Dublin, etc). Since no one wants to encourage negative stereotypes of Ireland like extreme religious devotion or massive bricks of dense, unreadable literature, you might as well start preparing your liver for Saturday's embrace of the positive Irish stereotype.  Grab a hold of your Guinness and shillelagh, and read our list of what to do in L.A. for the holiest of holidays.

Nobody likes rules, especially on one of the biggest drinking holidays of the year. We get that, and rest assured: we're not here to take your green beer away. But despite the fact that St. Patty's falling on a Saturday is basically the universe's way of telling you that you will be vomiting in the next 36 hours, there's still a line between genial public intoxication and learning how to live the rest of your life without arms because you thought it might be funny to try to high-five a gorilla at the zoo. So in order to help you determine just what constitutes the right kind of wrong, we present our official GofG St. Patty's Day Do's And Don'ts. Ignore at your own risk. More»

After a long night of raging that involved tequila shots to the face, sometimes leaving to get some food in your stomach as opposed to with some person you may find attractive at the time is just the smarter, less regrettable option come the morning.

Eating after midnight: even if you're not worried about turning into a Gremlin, it's not exactly good for you, right? But let's face it, we've all had nights when the bars are closing, the booze is burning a hole in your stomach, and you'd rather lay down in the middle of Wilshire than go home to a fridge full of condiments and frozen broccoli. These are the nights when you need our indispensable guide to the best restaurants on the west side (east side guide coming soon!) that will still be open when tonight turns into tomorrow. More»

I'm not saying I agreed with it being outlawed, but I totally understand why absinthe was illegal in this country until five years ago. My last adventure in drinking (not sipping, but drinking) absinthe, a group of us ended up in a pool at my friend's parents' house in the middle of the night, naked, with his older brother coming out to scream at us to stop being so loud because he was taking the LSATs in the morning. And this is the kind of debauchery absinthe leads to with it's very special "let's get naked" buzz. Today marks National Absinthe Day to celebrate the five-year anniversary of its US ban being lifted, giving you all the more reason to come out for a dance with the green fairy tonight. We've done our homework and come up with this cheat sheet to the best places in town to get your green drank on in honor of the high holiday. More»

So how much do your weekend plans revolve around the Valley? Let's hope not all that much, because despite not receiving even a fraction of the attention of last July's 50+ hour full closure, the Mulholland Bridge work is rolling on this weekend, with Caltrans scheduled to shut down the 405 nightly (one side at a time) between Getty Center Drive and Ventura for six nights between today and the 13th. Oh, and if that's not enough, they're closing the 110 completely. Fun! More»

Although we like to pretend that New Year's Resolutions are actually positive and hopeful, when you think about it, they really just force you to dwell on what you hate about yourself: your looks, your job, your life. So this New Year's, instead of beating ourselves up over stupid perfectionist resolutions, let's direct our loathing towards the awfulness that surrounds us every day, be it in advertising, pop culture, news, or modern life. ["Besides, introspection is for bitches."-Emily] With that, here are 10 things that reared their ugly heads this year we hope that 2012 will wipe from the face of the Earth, bringing us fresh choices which, while inevitably just as horrid, will at least be mercifully different.

Welcome to "Traveling With The 99%," our new guide to getting the most out of your holiday travel—whether you're going by plane, train, boat, or automobile. Today's topic: airport archetypes.

It's difficult sometimes to remember just how large this country of ours is. America is a broad, diverse land, and by that, I mean that America is basically completely jammed full of crazy weirdos. Some of these weirdos are completely awesome and many of them are horrible, but regardless of where they fall on the scale, one thing remains true: you will encounter almost all of them (99% of them) while flying economy class.
