Getting the Blues: I’d probably go to Lola’s on Fairfax for apple martinis and food. And then we’d run up to CityWalk and see who’s playing at B.B. King’s, the blues bar, to catch some live music or maybe catch a movie. You never know. I think the whole live music scene in L.A.--it’s hard to find in a lot of ways. But from what I’ve gathered, you can probably always catch something decent at B.B. King’s.

Family Hours: Saturday morning, the whole family goes to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for breakfast, the one on Gower Street. What I like the best is the No. 5, a chicken omelet, and it comes with French fries. We’re talking breakfast at 11:30 or noon. And then we’d go spend the day at Magic Mountain with the kids. They’ve got new rides there, and you’ve got to definitely get on the Viper, Colossus, and Goliath, Superman and Batman. I think the Viper is still my favorite. Because I have kids-two boys, 11 and 8-it’s also great to go to San Diego and go to the zoo, or to Disneyland and California Adventure. Or we’ll go down to Oceanside or La Jolla and visit some beaches.

Club Hopping: Saturday night, I’ll hit La Cienega and check out the whole club scene, between the Gate and all the little clubs up and down La Cienega. There’s a million of them. Sort of club hop, see what’s going on. Then there’s a couple of bars up on Sunset, and I’d do the whole Sunset Strip scene. You can park and sort of walk between Fairfax and Doheny and do a whole lot of everything, and end up at the Sky Bar at the Mondrian.

Need for Speed: Sunday is more a me thing: racing in the canyons with my friends on the motorcycles, through to the Rock Store, a gathering place for motorcyclists, both fast bikes and Harleys. The first one to the top wins the $1,000 pot. I have a Yamaha R1 and a Ducati 996, and I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 6, and street bikes for 11 or 12 years. When I’m on a motorcycle, if I see blue lights, you can come and catch me.
