If you have a taste for fine food and nothing on your agenda this Sunday, head on over to LA Weekly's 2nd Annual Gold Standard event at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Pulitzer prize winning food critic Jonathon Gold has culled together 40 of the best tastes in Los Angeles to pleasure your palate. VIP tickets are already sold out, but for a $60 admission fee, pre-payable online, you can try the best of the best from eateries such as Loteria, Hungry Cat, The Jar, Ciudad, Mozza and many more. And if you want to bring your kids, the children's fee is just $10! If you have a thirst for something with a bit of a kick, there will be plenty of beer, wine and spirits on hand to sample from The Wine House, Singha Beer, Frontier Whiskey and more.
For those of you who haven't heard of The Flutterbies (a spoonerism pronounced Flut-ter-bye's), you've been missing out. The Flutterbies core group is as followed, Maureen Davis -- Lead Vocals & Guitar; Adam Daniel -- Vocals & Guitar;. Bart Ryan -- Lead & Lap Steel guitar; Steve "eye candy" Whalen -- Bass; Christopher Allis - Drums. The band is Maureen Davis & Adam Daniel, and the other band members flutter in and out of their music life -- playing either unplugged or full band every month. With songs chalked full of lyrics intended to massage heartache and sooth bellowing emotions, the Flutterbies sound can best be described as Bonnie Raitt on a blind date with Beck while being served a shot of Southern Comfort by Janis Joplin in a Louisiana juke joint.
