With Grammy Weekend now officially upon us, Awards Season has kicked into high gear. And while that's the closest we get to business time out here, don't stress it– after all, our definition of "business" is pretty interchangeable with "open bar." And this may be the biggest open bar week of all, so for your, um, business needs, we present our Official GofG L.A. 2012 Grammy Weekend Party Guide, your one-stop resource for all the parties, after-parties, hotel lobbies, and everything in between.

[Photo via] The city of L.A. takes a backseat when an award show comes to town and it's too bad for you if you're not invited or don't know how to crash. So everyone grab your Sean Jean cologne and nipple pasties because we're about to take a look at what went down when the entertainment industry took time out of its busy schedule to pat itself on the back with last night's lavish AMAs after parties!

On Friday, the electro/house duo L.A. Riots had a show at Control, Avalon's weekly club event and afterhours, in Hollywood. Composed of Daniel LeDisko (that can't be his real last name, can it?) and Jon Pegnato, originally from North Carolina, the L.A. Riots formed here in the city of angels back in 2007 and have since made a steady name for themselves in the club music world. More»

Last night we found ourselves walking past the old Limelight nightclub on 6th avenue.  Opened in an old church in 1983 this club became famous for recreational drug use, drug trafficking and club kid meanderings.  In 2003, it was turned into Avalon nightclub which you should never find yourself even considering going to, although we did once just to see the inside of what was once the hottest nightclub in the world.  An entire film "Party Monster" (starring Macaulay Culkin and Seth Green) was based around the happenings of this club and the parties that took place here.  It's a great way to beef up your Club Kid knowledge...these are the ones that started the New York night club scene, that became notorious for the outlandish parties in subway cars and fast food joints, and that are still (at least trying to be) very much a part of it.  They (Richie Rich, Kenny Kenny, Steve Lewis, etc) are the players that were, before there was Noah, or Sacco, Eugene or Birbaum... So, let us take a moment to remember those that came before....and then promise ourselves we will never go back.
