MAY 10: FREE SHOW/PARTY BY SINGER JEWEL FOR FANS AT ROXY ON SUNSET, ALL AGES OK

The Facebook page for singer/songwriter JEWEL says she is doing a free show May 10, 2009 for her fans, on the occasion of her new album. Perez Hilton is her co-host for the show.

The rsvp link said the contest to get tickets is over, but since it is free, perhaps go and try it if you are a diehard Jewel fan. No guarantees, but as Wayne Gretzky once said, 'You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."

The Roxy is a classic Sunset Strip venue, a short walk east of Doheny and next door to another classic place, the Rainbow Bar and Grill, where you can eat/drink before or after the show (or during, if you don't get in).

Here are some highlights of what Jewel's Facebook page said:

As a special thank you to all my fans, I am hosting, along with Perez Hilton, a private album release party where I'll perform songs from Lullaby as well others, just for my fans! It's a free show just for you, at The Roxy on Sunset Boulevard. So all you have to do is sign up below for your chance to have your name plus a guest added to the guest list! ...

APR 1: THE ONION PRESENTS LA COMEDY EVENT AT M BAR, FEATURING AN EVENT TITLE YOU GOTTA LOVE

The Wednesday April 1 show (yes, April Fools Day!) is called: "Scared, Broke, and Sad: Comedy And Drinks With The Onion." Gotta love a title like that. Kudos to The Onion, as always -- they produce the only consistently funny, laugh out loud publication in the nation, period. And they put on fun events around Los Angeles to boot.

Pick up a copy of The Onion (free paper at newsstands and Onion kiosks around LA - new every Thursday), then find their ad about the April 1st show for more details and email-RSVP info.

Event time: 8 pm

Event location: M Bar on Vine, in a mini-mall south of Sunset
1253 N. Vine Street (corner of Fountain)
