After 13 years serving the Hollywood nightlife hidden in the boring confines of a La Brea strip mall, the Lava Lounge is bidding you “aloha.” Which is sad because it’s one of those places I’ve always meant to check out but never did thinking it would always be around. I know, nothing in club life lasts forever. Anyway now’s your chance (and mine) to enjoy this bit of tikidom before it closes its doors. (First Trader Vic’s, now this?) And it’s not going to go quietly into that good night, what with its Kinky Karaoke, burlesque show and fire sale.

Kinky Karaoke, Sunday the 25th: Tomorrow night, if you have nothing to do because you don’t care about the Oscars, take the stage at the final Kinky Karaoke night where you can sing your final good-byes a la Journey or Bon Jovi. This one is sure to be a scene since they’re usually so popular. And don’t let that little event at the Kodak Theater a couple of blocks scare you away. It’s the final karaoke, there ain’t going to be another. Starts at 9pm. No cover.

Bobbie Burlesque presents We Loved It (the final show), Wednesday the 28th: Bobbie Burlesque helps the Lounge go out with a bang-shicka-baum-baum, presenting 10 lovely girls with names like Scarlet Letter and Foxie Moxie. That’s right, a burlesque show. Show starts at 9:30pm with $5 cover.

The Fire Sale, March 2-4: Looking for that one something special to add to your bar at home? After the party is over, the doors will open one last time so that tiki fans may grab a bit of nightclub history: bar stools, tikis, lamps, tables, sconces. Nothing over $200. 1pm-5pm.
