HOLLYWOOD—Neither creative people nor people who love libations are hard to come by in Los Angeles, so why not strategically combine the two? That's precisely what Creative Drinking, an agency and pop-up happy hour, has done with their Game Night Mondays at The Spare Room cocktail lounge and game parlor in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel (7000 Hollywood Blvd). Beginning at 9pm tonight, get in on all the networking and general good times as they gang up with I Love Creatives for a game of Cards Against Humanity.  The Spare Room has no cover charge and parking is just $6 with validation. Drink, play, and make some great contacts for whatever your creative endeavor.

WEST HOLLYWOOD—We've always admired Kate Bosworth's personal style, so when we heard she was launching her own shoe collection, Kate Bosworth | Matisse, obviously we were over the moon. This Wednesday from 6:45-8pm, the fashion muse herself will appear to greet customers and sign pairs from her 8-piece collection at Nordstrom at The Grove (189 The Grove Dr). A mix of mules, booties, and sandals ranging from $320-$505, Kate's shoe debut proves as eclectic yet classic as she is.
