Hump This
Eat/Follow: Nom Nom
Launching tonight at The Brig: 1515 Abbott Kinney; Venice
This Vietnamese grub slingin' truck's been on a commitment-phobic roll for the last week, but's finally settling down tonight in Venice, where they'll be serving up lemongrass chicken tacos, shrimp spring rolls, and traditionally prepared option-loaded Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches, including BBQ pork, grilled pork, and the "Deli Special" -- Vietnamese ham, pork meatloaf, and head cheese, which'll taste a lot better if we just stop the joke right here.
The first 50 customers to mention Thrillist tonight get a free taco or spring roll with any order; check out the full menu at NomNomTruck.com
Play/Drink: The ArKeg
Part kegerrator, part video game console, this dream machine holds a 5-gallon barrel (55 beers) and has an expandable game library that comes fully loaded with 69 of your elementary school faves, like Asteroid, Crystal Castles, Joust II: Survival of the Fittest, and telling your friends its got 69 games. 69! Gross!

Buy: Way Basics Back To School Sale
The already-inexpensive, DIY-customizeable furniture from the Irvine-based modular masters got prices slashed on nearly everything they stock, with 30%-or-more off storage units, table sets, and bookcases; mention any hilarious Thornton Melon quote and the sales associate will be happy to transfer you to another sales associate.

Eat: Amy's Culinary Adventures: Mingle in the Mediterranean
Saturday; Mid-Valley location confirmed once you buy tickets
This vaunted LA caterer's thrown underground dinner parties with themes ranging from the fungi-tacular ("The Mushroom Experience") to the fat-tastic ("The Bacon Affair"). This latest regional-minded event delivers three apps and four full courses from Greece/Morocco, as well as three bottomless wine choices; actual dishes are secret until you get to the event, at which point someone will whisper them in your ear, just as long as you pinky swear not to tell that loud mouth Suzy.
Take 10% off by inputting the code "Thrillist" at MingleintheMed.Eventbrite.com; if you can't make this one, get on Amy's list by emailing Amy@amysculinaryadventures.com

Throw back some gratis brew while perusing shirts/jackets/shoes at 70-90% off, from brands like local fashion-forward guys Anzevino and Florence, Sweden-based Ondo Jeans, and kicks from Sneaky Steve, who -- wait, what just happened to your iPod? I swear, it was right here a second ago.
