From the Roku/Katana team: It's not enough that this freakishly modern sushi joint rolls out its fish on a conveyor belt; they've also installed a microchip in each plate that tells the kitchen when the item's freshness has expired. If ignored, a microchip in the chef will kill him.

This cult-favorite Japanese brand's first LA store will stock both new gear and previous collections (everything from muted jackets to pants imprinted with Rolling Stones' lips). In a year, the store will close up and move on to a TBD city, but for now, the garcon's in the 'hood are always hard.

This limited-edition, urban-planner-chic porcelain plate celebrates LA sprawl as a "model for modern development", highlighting notable buildings in red and Dodger Stadium/Elysian Park in glowing green. Also available: Vegas, New Orleans, DC, Cairo, and Dubai -- which is shaped like a unicorn, and carved from a single piece of moonrock by desperate South Asian migrant workers.

Mon 8am-8pm at Dr. Tattoff:

For one day only, this Bev Hills tattoo removal specialist is offering his services for free, so on a first-come, first-serve basis anyone can start the process of losing that tramp-stamp. Unfortunately, follow-up sessions are full-price, so you'll eventually either have to pay money, or break down and learn to pole dance.

This free, Eagle Rock-based hook-up site makes love connections based on locale and musical taste, breaking the latter down by genre (Punk/Hardcore, Indie Rock, Jamband, etc) and artist. Dinner for one, Candlebox fan in Silverlake?
