Who wrote, “I know that children love Elmo. But children are idiots”? If you answered “Joel Stein,” then you already have your tickets to 826LA's “Love Hurts: An Expert Panel on Love, Sex and What Shoes Not To Wear on a First Date.” Mr. Stein moderates what should be a lively and witty evening with relationship know-it-alls Greg Behrendt (He's Just Not That Into You ), Sascha Rothchild (How To Get Divorced By 30: My Misguided Attempt at a Starter Marriage) and Lori Gottleib (Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough). After you barrage the experts with your relationship questions, you can put your newfound knowledge to work and mingle your single little heart out. Proceeds benefit 826LA.
