Eat: The Izaka-Ya by Katsu-ya

Embrace Katsu-Ya's king crab handroll fame at their newest, slightly less expensive outlet. It'll still undoubtedly draw the same sceney crowd, but as That '70s Show's residuals slowly dry up, you can eagerly await the day when Danny Masterson'll be parking your car.
Go: Rock Paper Scissors Rumble 5
Mar 24 at the Explx: 1822 Sunset Blvd, #5, Echo Park PartyScammers.com
Registration's open for this year's ultra-competitive ro-sham-rumble. Superhero-esque costumes are encouraged, but to gain psychological advantage your best bet's to dress as the feared super-villain: Makes-Geeks-Cry-Man.

Through May 1 at the New Beverly: 7165 Beverly Blvd, Beverly Hills; 323.938.4038; MySpace.com/GrindHouse
Quentin Tarantino knows your love of sex and violence, so it's only natural he should curate this year's Grindhouse gore festival. Screenings include forgotten kitsch classics like Chinese Hercules, a Sino-Grecian favorite gory enough to make you feel like someone just got Ming on your ass.
