None of us around here really need an excuse for happy hour, but it’s always a good thing when there’s a cause involved. All Day Buffet’s third Cause For Drinks happens tonight in six cities nationwide — NYC, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Austin, Seattle and Annapolis — each raising funds for select charities. Your city not on the bill for the night? Drop the kids at ADB a note and they’ll get you in the next lineup. More info here or on their Facebook page. Bottoms up.

Neighborbee Blog. It kind of has the ring of a suburban chain restaurant, but instead of crappy food, this community blog serves up scoops on going out, eating in, and drinking a lot in, and around, downtown Manhattan. They’ve got a sizable crew of experienced bloggers (alums from Gawker, VH1…Whatevs.net) working on giving their fellow city dwellers some good advice, with the ultimate goal of creating an, ahem, hive of social activities. They’re really better at the bee puns than we are, so they’re well worth an RSS subscription if you’re looking to bulk up your reader with some useful information.

Plenty of people use their desk as a space to separate their work lives from their personal lives, but often times those hulking masses of wood and marble end up taking on a life of their own. They tend to inherit loads of clutter that pertains to both personal and business matters and it doesn’t help that they’re certainly not so easy to move around either. Well, we think it might be time for you to get rid of your business-time behemoth. After all, you don’t really need something that big, it’s not like computers are so massive nowadays. We think your life and space would be better off with OneLessDesk, a sleek space saving stainless steel work station from the inventive folks at Heckler design. Comprised of two independent decks that give you plenty of flexibility in terms of personal space, and featuring a rear facing shelf that hides the unsightly mess created by all of your electronic attachments, OneLessDesk is a fantastic alternative to a traditional office space. However, if you want one you’ve got to act immediately, Heckler design is only producing 20 of these babies during their limited Spring 2008 production run.

Like a fashion-conscious Burns and Allen, Mistormissus is a relationship turned business venture by the boyfriend/girlfriend team of Mark and Bec.

Of course, those gender roles are merely suggestions. You’re welcome to wear whatever you want.

Core 77 Hour Design Challenge asked readers to design a water-saving plan for a bathroom which, to be honest, seems like it would take a little more than an hour to create something even slightly noteworthy. This year, the team hasn’t necessarily eased up on their time constraints, but their request seems a little more reasonable and even more timely as this year they’re asking anyone who wants to participate to create their version of The Olympic Torch. Each torch entry must represent a certain city whether it’s your hometown, that town where your ex-girlfriend lives or really any place that you hold dear…as well as the Olympics in general. Did we mention the deadline is 4pm EST today? So what are you waiting for, it’s time to get to work. Flame on!

Despite the seriously crappy weather we’ve been experiencing here in Sao Paulo that’s wetting down all moods, the buildup is nevertheless mounting as the best athletes in skate, BMX and motocross are landing in Brazil’s concrete jungle this week for the world staging of the X Games at Anhembi to compete in various heats: street, vertical and best trick. It’s actually the very same spot where the city’s Carnaval is held and because of this very fact, I like to think (unscientifically, of course) that the dried-up sweat molecules from February will be reabsorbed into the air and carry the event to the same wicked adrenaline heights. Expectations are on for Brazilians Sandro Dias and Bob Burnquist, who will be adding notches to their legendary status on the skate ramps. To close out the games on Saturday and Sunday, Brazilian pop-punk band CPM 22 and rock group Charlie Brown Jr will entertain. If you don’t have cable, tune into the website to watch more than 40 hours of the Games as they’re going down in real-time.

If Miami’s own Logan Real can stamp his signature stained-glass mosaic on your wallet, watchband, and even Blackberry case, why can’t he do it to your dog? His new leather dog collar will make your pooch the envy of South Beach. Pretty safe to say, it doesn’t hurt with the bitches either.
