Culture: Get some.

In a city that sleeps only slightly less than NY (thanks to that pesky 2am last call), it becomes all too easy for a gal to spend all of her evenings at bars and clubs. Since checking TMZ.com every few hours doesn't really count when it comes to being "cultured", I like to visit the theatre, museum or random live music event every now and then so that I can make myself feel more interesting. Case and point: Independent Theatre.

Thanks to an awesome friend who had an extra ticket, I got to see Love, Humiliation & Karaoke, a one-man, autobiographical show about everything from singing trannies to online dating. Unfortunately for San Franciscans, Thursday was the show's last night in the city, but luckily for New Yorkers it will be heading to the Midtown International Theatre Festival in late July.

Added bonus: even if you can't make LHK, there's a solid 3 weeks of independent theatre to be had at the festival. I figure you can claim to be cultured for a solid 14 days after seeing a play.
