How about the city guides? Always an option if you want to find people taking advantage of the L.A. nightlife and local happenings.

But don't neglect the blogs! They offer personalized commentary and attract those interested in a daily dose of Los Angeles lifestyle. They're also more affordable for local advertisers on a b-movie budget (like us!)
