LA Metblog’s Hot Dog Death March
Wiener fans rejoice! Thanks to LA Metblogs you can gorge yourself on Pink’s, Oki-Dog and Skooby’s hot dogs all in one afternoon alongside other crazy hot dog-loving folk. But the hard-core of the brats pack will dress up like dogs and pen hot dog haikus for a chance to be the wiener of prizes, like Dodger game tickets. BTW, this is a great opportunity to cross Pink’s off that L.A. bucket list!

• 3pm. Pinks, 711 N. La Brea, Los Angeles (map).

Summer Bender Series
Work toward that bikini bod by dancing at this music-packed downtown event featuring outdoor and indoor stages and djs and live music galore. With an all-night open tequila bar and free tacos, you’ll have plenty of sustenance to get you through the evening. Free to get in, just RSVP here.

• 10pm-2am. Lot 613, 613 Imperial Street, Downtown (map).
