Tinseltown.

Tinseltown!!!

I do like the free stuff.

I do like the music.

And I do like the Boulevard, within moderation. As such, the now-annual Hollywood and Highland Third Thursday Series demands a look. It begins tonight. We were there last year, and we must again condone the freeness of the occasion. Where else can you hear great music, free, surrounded by backlit Victoria’s Secret negligee, Japanese cream puffs and an assload of out-of-towners? Details:

The first “3rd Thursday” event (June 15th) will feature performances from LA’s own wild-child rockers Whitestarr, the soul-folk music of Hockey and celebrity DJ Kid Millionaire (AKA $teve Aoki). The event will be hosted by YRB Magazine. Green Flash Brewing Company will also be on hand with hand-crafted, all-natural ales.

When: “3rd Thursday” events will take place on a monthly basis on the third Thursday of each month from 8-10 pm. Dates are: June 15th, July 20th, August 17th, September 21st and October 19th.

As is current company policy, we should probably give out some free shit at this point in the article.

UPDATE: We have a winner. If you were not contacted, you unfortunately did not get the strike. Thank you all for playing GUTTERBALL today. Marketers take note, Losanjealous readers officially love the shit out of bowling. Mailbot 6000 is still deleting emails.

The tenth response to bowlmaster@losanjealous.com will win a free game of bowling for two at Lucky Strike Lanes, Hollywood and Highland, alongside two shoe rentals. $20 value. This voucher is valid through the end of 2006, but everyone will be very disappointed if you do not use it after checking out the aforementioned bands.

The stipulation: You must have bowled greater than a 50 at some point in your horrible bowling career. Believe me when I say we have our methods in determining if you are telling the truth, gutterballer.

Do you realize how many beers you can buy at Lucky Strike with the $20 you will save, should you win? At least one. Maybe one and a half. If you charge across Highland in your stolen bowling shoes to the Powerhouse, you can buy something like thirty-five. Not that we condone that type of behaviour. RUN! ENTER THE CONTEST!

Ten emails. Ten bowling pins. Number Ten Gets The Strike.

Good luck.
