Hump This
Buy: Known LA
This upscale-streetwear boutique's soft opening, but is already flush with Goldspun denim, No Mas tees, and vintage Gucci luggage. Future plans include collaborating with clothing designers on one-of-a-kind furniture, which will hopefully result in pieces better equipped to wear your unwashed clothes.

Download: Kitsune Noir Desktop Wallpaper Project
This local blog posts funky new wallpaper designs uploaded each Wednesday, all vast improvements over "Zen Rock Garden". Selections range from skulls peeping through a gemstone backdrop, to rampaging rooftop pig-monsters, to a Japanese band rehearsal room where the drum kit sits on a Hello Kitty pelt rug, presumably entitled "Goodbye, Kitty".
It's all at KitsuneNoir.com
Peruse/Drink: LRG vs Courvoisier Pop Up Store
For 3 days & nights, LRG's taking over the former Publik Park space, slinging everything from hoodies to windbreakers to button-ups, all allegedly "inspired" by Courvoisier. There'll also be freely flowing cognac, which will inspire you to claim to be "XLRG".

Go: Green Apple Festival
Hit this free Earth Day extravaganza for performances from Juliette and the Licks, Taj Mahal, and Ziggy Marley, who'll be playing his hits solo-acoustic style (Tomorrow People: why won't the Melody Makers return my calls?).

Click: Cheese Nachos
This Venice-based consumer search engine seamlessly aggregates prices from Amazon, Shopping.com, and eBay. Unfortunately, Craigslist couldn't be bothered, as they were out combing the streets for "You: beautiful woman who locked eyes with me (neckbeard) on bus".
