Dance, Drink, and Don a Disguise at LA's Biggest Masquerade Ball
The bands and DJs performing at KCRW's Halloween Masquerade party in Los Angeles have absolutely nothing in common with the Andrew Lloyd Webber song of the same name. If you're a Southern California resident or avid follower of independent music, then you're probably familiar with KCRW, one of the area's most tuned-into radio stations. The station's DJs, all of whom share a similar baritone rumble to their voices, are known for helping dictate the swing of the local music scene and attracting listeners to live shows en masse.
Halloween night's Masquerade extravaganza is sure to be no exception. If featured performers like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros and DJ Shadow don't ring a bell, then it's time to switch over from KISS FM to find out what all the fuss is about. They'll be on hand to entertain the gussied and ghouled-up crowd, along with Sea Wolf, Little Dragon, and all of your favorite KCRW DJs. Finally, a way to put a face to the personality spinning tribal dubstep you hear late at night.

What Andrew Zimmern Thinks About In-Flight WiFi
Why is Andrew Zimmern's favorite flight the one to Tokyo? This is just one of the many questions we asked the chef, author and Travel Channel show host when we caught up with him at the Travel Channel and Chase Sapphire card party at the Top of the Rock in New York. The answer to that of course, is because the flight to Tokyo is a string of uninterrupted hours of calm. But what we're more interested in right now is one of the hottest topics in aviation today, and that's the issue of In-Flight WiFi.

What Anthony Bourdain Thinks About In-Flight WiFi
There are some big travel issues a-brewing out there, and we're keen to find out what some big travel personalities think about them. So we caught up with Anthony Bourdain, chef and author and host of The Travel Channel's popular food travel show No Reservations to get the straight dope on how, or how not, In-Flight WiFi has affected his travel routine.

Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern Spill Their Vacation Vices
Last night, while the country watched a new episode of 30 Rock, we took the elevator to the actual Top of the Rock for a party to celebrate the launch of the new Chase Sapphire, a traveler-centric rewards card. Chase has partnered up with The Travel Channel to promote the card, and as a result, the party was co-hosted by none other than Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern.
Munching through multiple chocolate and praline-covered bacon strips with a sunset view of the city below, we managed to tackle both Bourdain and Zimmern to chat about some current travel trends. For their answers to one of the biggest airline questions right now, you'll have to wait for the full video reveal on Monday, but for now we'll share what they name as their favorite vacation spot...

Richard Branson Was With Us In Spirit Last Night At Le Bernardin
How do you throw a launch party for a luxury catamaran without the boat or its owner present? Well, if you're Virgin Limited Edition and Richard Branson and his new Necker Belle are unavailable to party, you just down canapes at one of New York City's best restaurants: Le Bernardin.
Surrounded by Virgin's signature red rubber duckies and with visions of Virgin Limited Edition's luxury properties—Swiss ski chalet and Moroccan retreat, anyone?—dancing in our heads, we managed to make it through a few Blue Margaritas at the Necker Belle party last night. Officially to welcome the twin-hulled beauty to the Virgin group, the event also showcased these other small and carefully curated properties owned by Branson through his Limited Edition Label.

Oprah Will Throw A Massive Public Party On Chicago's Michigan Avenue
This picture actually happened
All this weekend, Chicago will be battening the hatches in preparation for the street party of the decade. Beginning at 12:01am Monday morning and ending at 5am on Wednesday, the three blocks of Michigan Avenue from Wacker Drive to Ohio Street will be closed specially for Oprah. Actually, for Oprah's show season kickoff taping, and everybody is invited.
The actual show taping is only an hour long, starting at 5pm on Tuesday, but the street needs to be closed for the erection of a temporary stage at the river and proper preparation for crowd control and security. If you do manage to squeeze into the three blocks on Tuesday for the free show, including a performance by the Black Eyed Peas and countless other celebrity surprises, be sure to DVR the airing of the episode on September 10—9.14 is the normal premiere.

Party On The Tarmac Tomorrow At Vail Airport's Reopening
Wooohoo! Party at the airport! Well, Vail's Eagle County Airport, to be more exact, and they're opening up their newly revamped runway to the public tomorrow for their "Romp the Runway" event. From 4:30-8pm tomorrow, aviation fans and locals alike are welcome to celebrate the end of the airport's summer closure, which has been in effect since April 15.
According to Today In The Sky, festivities on the tarmac will include a bike race, 5K run, food concessions and live music. We also hope that there will be face paint, because how awesome would it be to run around this event with airplanes drawn on your cheeks?

Polish Your Pigskin For Las Vegas' Fantasy Super Draft
Football season is rapidly approaching, and with it the fantasy leagues that have become kind of a thing. In recent years, even fantasy draft days have become elaborate, with leagues going off to random cities for a weekend of sports and debauchery. Sensing a market opportunity, a new event called Las Vegas Fantasy Super Draft has entered the scene to host an entire draft weekend August 27-30.
They're not in the business of actually conducting your draft or hosting the software for it: you still have to schedule that through CBSSports.com, ESPN.com, Yahoo.com, and the like. What they will do is provide you with facilities for the draft, parties to attend, women to look at (former cheerleaders were specifically emphasized in the FAQ), and VIP access to Vegas clubs.

What Did You Think Of The 'Confessions Of A Travel Writer' Premiere?
Did you catch us on TV last night? The pilot episode of the show "Confessions Of A Travel Writer" aired at 9pm EST yesterday on the Travel Channel, and our Shira Lazar is the sole representative of new media among the five travel journalists starring.
We took in the show from the pool lobby at the Grace Hotel in midtown New York City, where we drank Pisco Sours and patiently waited for them to fix the audio. Alas, they never did and so you at home had a better seat for the show than we did, although we did catch the 11pm re-run.

From Body Paint to Matchmaking: Air New Zealand Is Feeling Frisky
Just in case the sexy painted bodies of Air New Zealand staff aren't enough to get you hot and heavy with booking a ticket, there's yet another little marketing strategy coming out from the Kiwis this week: the world's first Matchmaking Flight.
Sadly the flight of fancy is still months away; you'll need to be free on October 13 to get involved in this Kiwi love-in. On that date, an Air New Zealand flight will leave Los Angeles full of singles making the trip to Auckland for the Great Matchmaking Ball.
Air New Zealand will even help you to get through the butterflies by opening up chats on their website by posting your profile and linking up with either Americans or Kiwis who plan to turn up at the ball too.
Round-trip tickets for this romantic route start at $780, which includes a party at LAX before you leave, special in-flight food and entertainment (games, even), and the singles-only ball in Auckland. This is all well and good, but they're leaving out the most important information: will any of those body-painted flight attendants be on board?

The Zoos Will Be Partying on Earth Day
We know, we know, every day is Earth Day. But only starting Monday will zoos and aquariums around the world be celebrating Mother Nature as part of the "Party for the Planet" initiative, which connects the 150-plus members of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
Party animals can hop from state to state all week for free concerts, games and even organic food. This weekend, the Dallas Zoo debuts a new alligator exhibit called "Ghosts from the Bayou" as part of its four-weekend spring festival, Dallas Roars. The Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport offers free admission on Earth Day and a six-hour scavenger hunt. And X-Men hero Wolverine, who is actually an endangered species, will show up for photo ops at the Chattanooga Zoo on April 25, which also features mural-making and free seedlings to attendees.
Find your participating zoo at the AZA Website.

To Do in NYC: Free Borat Screening
The time has come to celebrate the Kazakhstan tourism boom. Tonight in NYC, head to Cake Shop for a free screening of the newly-released Borat DVD. We love Cake Shop's free parties, and tonight's $0 screening co-hosted by the Village Voice should be no exception. Should you get bored waiting for the film to start, you can grab a drink at the full bar downstairs, or head upstairs to shop for records.
Say you're going alone and looking to chat up a Kazakhstan-loving partygoer. What could be your pick-up line? We wouldn't be surprised if "jagshemash" works on the superfans. But we hear travel buffs melt when you ask them if they think Kazkahstan is the next Macau. And when they can already name the two cities which Kazakhstan is hoping to turn into gambling tourism meccas, you'll know it's true love.
Doors at 5 p.m. / Movie at 6 p.m.
