Anybody's who's ever watched Saturday Night Live's “Weekend Update” and reads this column knows the flamboyant nightlife reporter, Stefon (played by Bill Hader), and yours truly have similar sensibilities when it comes to colorful clubbing. Midget pirate parties … white trash drag queen hoedowns … muppet-clad boy toys … you get the idea. The difference is our picks for wild L.A. haps are 100% real. You can't make this stuff up! Christmas brings even more opportunities for subversive merriment and this week is a jolly and jammin' example. Here, the raging-est reindeer games.
