My oh my is it going to be a crazy weekend. Repeal Day celebrations tomorrow and I’ve got SantaCon on Saturday! That’s it, but that’s enough! If you are looking for ways to fill up your weekend, may I suggest the following?

Friday, December 5

Bar Delux Grand Opening
After many false starts this decadent 1920s-inspired Hollywood lounge is finally opening its doors to the A-list public. If you make dinner reservations, you can get in at 8pm, but if you just want a drink come by at 10. Going.com says the event is free but you have to RSVP, which sounds odd to me, but I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry. RSVP at rsvp [at] spacecraftgroup.com.

• Delux, 1624 N. Cahuenga Boulevard, Hollywood (map).
