Gorge: 75¢ Dodger Dogs

Every Monday 5-10pm at The Infield: 14333 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks; 818.501.1850

Starting next week, Sherman Oaks' baseball-themed tubesteak palace'll be dishing 75¢ Dodger Dogs; they're also peddling Super Bowl-themed wieners, one for the Cards (BBQ sauce, avocado, tortilla chip slivers, tomatoes, lime), and a Steelers honoree "enriched" w/slaw, fries, tomatoes, and provolone, all the way through next Sunday, offering you an extra week to jump on the bandwagon, and break it, because you're fat.

Buy: J Brand Denim Co

Available at Planet Blue: 800 14th St, Santa Monica; 310.394.0135

The newest line from this LA jeansmith boasts old-school details (antiqued-looking copper buttons, concealed rivets), is crafted from lightweight 12.5oz stock, offers "slim-leg" fits w/ more-forgiving cuts than their competitors, and features washes that produce the look of "a jean that has been worn for about six months and has never been washed" -- so eventually, a jean that looks like it hasn't been washed in 12 months, but only smells like six.

The line's at JBrandDenimCo.com

Network/Drink: Pink Slip Parties

The first Tues of every month at Boe at the Crescent: 403 N Crescent Dr, Beverly Hills; 310.247.0505

This monthly recession-inspired fest takes half-off all of Boe's gourmet apps (eg, baked Brie w/sun-dried tomatoes, mini curry burgers), drops prices to $5 on select drinks made with Pink vodka, and brings in recruiting agencies, because drunken interviewing is supremely entertaining. This month, there's Swan Legal Search, restaurant-biz peeps DD Factor and Associates, the corporate-leaning AppleOne, and Robert Half Accountemps -- hiring out-of-work financial types, who've just discovered how the other Robert Half lives.

Eat/Watch: Dinner and a Movie

At Hollywood and Highland through Feb 15

Through V-Day, gorge on $30 or more of food at most of H&H's restaurants (everything from Johnny Rockets to The Grill), and you'll get two free same-day tickets to the movie of your choice -- that's right, two viewings of Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Watch: Strip Karaoke

At Eagle Rock's Allstar Lanes, a hot nutjob "sings" "Total Eclipse of the Heart", vocally channeling Satan, rolling on the ground, stripping to a barely-there slip, and once she sobers up, praying to God that forever isn't starting that night.

Of course, it's on YouTube
