Normally, there's no way I would pass up the Pre-Valentine Dance for Huntington Beach Christian Singles[7 p.m. $8-$12 (714) 625-3508; www.hbchristiansingles.org] 'cause you totally know I'm like that. But tonight it just so happens to conflict with ART FOR AIDS IV. Last year, Art for AIDS hosted a concert by Tom Fucking Petty, and this year, they've got Cybill Shepherd. Seriously, babe has pipes. Also, I liked that picture of her with craaaazy Don King hair that all the bloggers made fun of. I thought it was cool she showed everybody her crazy hair. Like this: “Fuck, y'all, I gots me some crazy hair! Now watch me do a line off this hooker!”
Also, there are auctions and dinner from 5', Aquaand Chat Noir. And there's nothing more fun than watching the rich people at Art for AIDS throw down with the help. Happens every year. Call for time. $285-$1,000. St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort and Spa, 1 Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, (949) 809-8760 or (949) 494-8971, ext. 200.
Sun
You knew the game was on today, right? Don'tcha wanna watch it with debutantes and girls who yammer during the plays? Then totally go to the fourth annual Lighthouse Guild of Olive Crest Super Bowl Extravaganza. These are always fun and always have kick-ass barbecue (this time Sutra's catering) and kick-ass drinks. Plus, there are Laker Girls. ( I like to tell people I am a Laker Girl, but they often trick me by asking why I am not in Phoenix at the game, so sometimes I say I'm a Clipper Girl instead because nobody cares where they're playing.) So pony up your $75 to $90 along with everyone you know and hate. Seriously, it's a good fun drunk. Sutra Lounge, Triangle Square, Newport Blvd. N 19th St., Newport Beach, (800) 550-CHILD, ext. 8124; www.oclighthouse.com.
