Drink: 35¢ Martinis at the Edison
For two sweet hours a week, the bar named after the light bulb inventor's serving their throwback 1910 Martini for the turn-of-the-century price of 35¢; after three, your own light-bulb will go off when you visualize specs for a very stingy tip calculator.

Buy: Burton/Chanel Island Flagship Store
Burton and Channel Island's equipment/gear behemoth hosts separate sections for snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding, allowing boarders of all stripes to run wild through 11,500sq ft of Xtreme. Meanwhile, the sewers beneath the 200sq foot bathroom will run wild with spent Mountain Dew.

Rock: Ghostland Observatory
Marrying the breakneck disco of the Scissor Sisters with the wail of the White Stripes, this Austin duo's live shows are basically one frantic party. And remember: just because the singer really is wearing pigtails and the keyboardist really is rocking a baby-blue vampire cape, doesn't mean you're not on drugs.

Buy: Tankfarm Sample Sale
Up to 75% off the Farm's rustic-rocker inspired gear, plus free booze, food, and music. The sale starts at 9am Saturday/10am Sunday, so you could potentially stock up, get drunk, and make it home in time to blearily revel in an all-new episode of The McLaughlin Report/Skunk Fu.
Vote: Mr Splashy Pants
Foolishly, Greenpeace is asking the public to choose a name for a recently rescued humpback whale. Among the options: Aiko, Shanti, and…"Mr Splashy Pants". Your mission couldn't be clearer: vote "Tuna".
