Celeb Sightings: Ryan McCann, QB for the UCLA Who-Woulda-Thunk-They'd-Be-So-Good Bruins, was spotted lunching last week at Grunions Bar & Grill, Sepulveda, MB. Sean O'Donnell had his going away party at Harry O's after being traded from the Kings to the Wild, (Minnesota Wild, dumb name), and Dave Taylor, VP/General Manager of the Kings, brought the guys over there last Sunday night after practice. New: Local Band 50 Cent Haircut is now the house band Sunday nights at TJ Charly'z, Hermosa Ave, HB from 7-11pm. You can also catch them this Friday, September 29 at The Pitcher House, 2nd and PCH, HB from 9pm till close...

Beers And Booze At The Links: Plan to take off work on Monday, October 2 to participate in Grunions 2nd Annual Golf Tourney at Los Amigos Golf Course in honor of Brian Sweeney. Brian, fellow Irishman and long time friend of Grunions owner Mike McLaughlin, left us in January of 1999 after suffering from lung cancer. He was well known in the South Bay; there even exists a plaque on the bar at Patrick Molloy's, Pier Plaza, HB in his honor. Last year's event raised $1000, all donated to cancer research in Brian's name. $80 per person, (tax deductible ta boot!), includes breakfast at Grunions, round trip bus between the bar and the greens, prizes, green fees, cart, awards buffet back at Grunions and of course beer and wine on the bus and the course. The rules are four-person scramble; best ball; must use three drives from each player on the team. Closest to the pin on par 3 holes pays $50 each, longest drive pays $50, and the winning team gets $200. Hoping you know what all that means - I just do what they tell me, I don't get involved in the rules. Call Mike at 545.9910 or stop by Grunions on Sepulveda, MB for more info and to sign up - come on, it's for a good cause...
