We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Practicing absinthe



Last night, Green Door hosted an event for the exclusive debut of Kubler, the first authentic Swiss absinthe to hit the US market since it was banned in 1912. I couldn't make it, unfortunately, but I'm betting the party wasn't much of a rager. My brother and I shared a glass of the stuff when we were in Europe and we both passed out in the bar. Seriously. The folks at Fraiche in Culver City are also getting in on the Absinthe trend. Not only do they serve it, but I also hear that their bar chef Albert Trummer will host an absinthe show on New Year's Eve. Sounds like fun—provided you don't nerd out like me.—Alexandra Le Tellier



Here's what I'd like to try, but then I really would be a nerd.
