Hump This

Drool: Extreme Car Share

This auto collective offers unheard of no-mileage-restriction, five-day sessions with their stable of unattainable wheels (the Ferrari F430, the 520hp Lamborghini Gallardo) -- though all you'll need's the 143 miles to get to Tijuana.

Eat: Cafe Wa s

1521 N Vine, Hollywood; 323.466.5400

Outfitted like a Kubrickian version of a Victorian mansion (revolving, circa-1924 piano, spiral staircase to nowhere), the Fourty Deuce guy's new bistro serves up the likes of Sole Meuniere Pommes a l'Anglaise, Steak Frites w/wilted spinach and thyme-scented fries, and a burger topped w/prosciutto, brie, and a fried egg (spiral staircase to the Great Nowhere).

Go: Swag on Beverly

Tomorrow on Beverly between Crescent Heights and La Cienega

This street party'll have shops giving out free beer/wine/cocktails, gratis apps from Jian, Mandarette, and Pane e Vino, plus merchant discounts on everything from bicycles to furniture. Non-merchants are also chipping in: Muscle Mechanics LA's giving away tee-shirts, and there's a post-party at the Bungalow, which you can roll up to triumphantly, on a bike, wearing a muscle-tee and towing a cabinet.

Participating businesses are at SwagOnBeverly.com

Buy: Primitive

17060 Ventura, Encino; 818.479.7171

This streetwear warehouse is stocking more Nike SB's than anywhere else in the world, plus ltd-edition sneakers/clothes from the likes of Upper Playground, The Hundreds, and ALife -- if you're spending all day gawking around an Encino shoe warehouse, you'll need to pick one of those up.

Go: The Great Pot Culture Quiz

Mon at Book Soup: 8818 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood; 310.659.3110

Hit this trivia challenge hosted by the writers of "the A-Z guide to stoner language and life" to win prizes ranging from Weeds dvds to custom rolling papers, plus meet doobage celebs like Super High Me director/star Doug Benson, who filmed himself giving up weed for a month before smoking copious amounts of it (for him, a movie-worthy ordeal; for everyone else, landing a real job).
