Tonight you can audition for CHOC Follies XIII “The Wizard of OC”, a benefit show for CHOC Children’s. And please, this is not the time to argue that you’re not talented, the CHOC Follies Motto: “If you can talk, you can sing; if you can walk, you can dance!”
And you have plenty of time to rehearse, the musical debuts April 1-3, 2010 at The Robert B. Moore Theatre at Orange Coast College.

Proof that’s there’s more to coffeehouses than Starbucks and Coffee Bean: Koffee Klatch in Laguna Beach is one of our favorites. Hidden away in South Laguna, the endearing seaside gem sits right on Pacific Coast Highway and is more relaxing bohemian oasis than your average java joint. Inside the cozy but eclectic coffeeshop, choose from a dizzying array of pastries, desserts, salads, sandwiches and, oh, coffee too. The outdoor patio is especially relaxing, with comfortable lounge chairs perfect for curling up on with girlfriends for a gabfest or with your laptop (free WIFI, natch) for a few hours. 1440 S. Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. 949.376.6867.
