Unless you know a guy who knows a guy who knows about illegal underground poker rings, it's not exactly an easy feat to see Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Kevin Connolly and Lukas Haas in the same room anymore. But don't worry, the "Pussy Posse" (I swear to God, they really used to call themselves that) is far past the days of big mistakes like drunken late-night stripper-fests, bar fights, and hanging out with David Blaine. Now, they like to support tech start-ups, which is what brought them to the Mobli launch party at South By Southwest. MORE>>

There was a time where Leonardo Dicaprio, Lukas Haas, Kevin Connolly and Tobey Maguire getting together meant trouble. After all, these four have been running together since they were mid-90's teen heartthrobs, which means they have about 20 years of skirt-chasing, illegal-poker-ringing, and sneaking-Kevin-Connolly-onto-full-sized-roller-coasters under their belt.

Prep beforehand with our guide to ten upcoming festivals across the globe. More»

Life's all about picking your spots. As in, if we're not going to sponsor a show every single weekend, why not save our dough (and credibility) for an up-and-coming band that really sounds different, a band that's been blowing up industry showcases in LA and NYC, a band that Time Magazine called one of the "10 Acts That Rocked SXSW 2011"? Well, that's what we did, and the result was Saturday night's Incan Abraham Record Release Party at Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club in Santa Monica. More»
