If you follow The Cobrasnake's adventures, which generally consist of touring with Steve Aoki and partying with Katy Perry, you'd know that he doesn't get out of bed in the morning (or whenever he gets out of bed) for anything less than an A-List rager. So on first glance, an unofficial Apple fan convention in San Francisco wouldn't seem like a slam-dunk option. Then again, this is Macworld, the biggest unofficial event of its kind, and the lineup of bands and DJ's is probably the best one going in SF this week, so maybe it makes more sense than we realize.

Quick: who's the celebrity you would most want to be best friends with? Just a guess, but unless you're a 21-year old gay man or a 12-year old girl, you probably didn't say Katy Perry. However, that might be your loss, based on these photos of the rollicking Wild West Ho Down Throwdown that Katy and her future babydaddy Russell Brand threw last Friday to celebrate her 27th birthday. Actually, I might even have to change my own answer to that "best friends" question. Sorry, Joan Didion! More»

Yes, yes, we know: we've covered Underground Rebel Bingo before. But here's the thing: when these guys burst onto the scene, we expected hundreds of imitators to be running their own boozy old-person activities by now. You know, Jack Daniels drenched shuffleboard, maybe, or adding an open bar to the Old Country Buffet. But, while none of those amazing ideas have panned out, Rebel Bingo keeps on chugging, and has now returned from a summer-long hiatus to rock Silver Lake like the good ol' days. Do we have some visual aids? Yes, we have Cobra Snake photos. More»

In Roman Polanski's classic film Chinatown, Chinatown is presented as a lawless wasteland, a place so inherently insane that Jack Nicholson has no recourse but to accept the shocking things he's seen. In that way (and likely in that way alone), Roman might actually approve of last weekend's absolutely insane launch party for the Brent Bolthouse-produced party for the upcoming video game Rage, featuring a live outdoor C-Town performance from The Black Keys.

I'm going to be out of town this weekend, but that doesn't mean I don't mourn the death of Sunset Junction almost as much as those of you who were planning to be there. And I say that not because I believe community is important, or because I really want you guys to have a good time, or anything suspiciously selfless like that. I say it because street fairs and music festivals are a phenomenal source of weirdos and colorful characters. More»

I love Chicago. Most of my family is from there, so I get to go back every so often, and I always have a great time. It's big, fun, cheap, friendly, accessible and full of cool places and buildings. It might be, pound for pound, the best city in America. Or at least, it might have been the best city in America. Based on these Cobra Snake photos of a Crystal Castles show/pre-Lollapalooza costume party, I'm a little worried that Chi Town may have been built on an Indian Burial Ground or something. Is Lollapalooza always this scary? [all photos via]

Ah, to be in The Cobrasnake's entourage. Your primary responsibility is simply to do fun things that he can photograph, so as long as you don't plan on doing lame things, like having a job or reading or anything, you're so in! In their latest exploits, our favorite party kids tackle the beloved trope of the Childrens' Birthday Party. Everybody knows kids parties are way more fun than adults, who have "birthday dinners," where 10 or more people spend an hour and a half fighting over how to split a check. Hey numbnuts, we don't care whether you got to try any of the lettuce cups or not, just kick in an extra five dollars FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY. Anyway, children's parties were clearly superior, and dor Cobra Snake pal Juju Sorelli's birthday, there was a cake, face-painting, some kids-style treats, a Cat in a Hat, and lots of grown-up party favors (vodka and cigarettes, duh). Check it out:

via la.guestofaguest.com It seems like the party scene has gotten a little, well, immature lately. We pay ridiculous amounts of money to do gussied-up versions of stuff we did as kids, like bowling, swimming, and carnival games, and half of these hipsters are wearing the exact same t-shirts they did 20 years ago. The pool party is the perfect example of this...MORE>>>
