Fun With Alcohol
Beer Pong, you’re a popular
drinking game. You’re like the Avatar
of college beer consumption. You’ve

one is saying you aren’t spectacular in
your own right, but there are a few new

town. Here are our suggestions.
What you’ll need: (More like what you don’t need. Seriously though, you won’t
need your morals). Have all of the drinks you are going to have for the night
while sitting in one place. Stand up, whoever doesn’t fall, wins!

Warning: This game requires some thinking. For the two of you still
reading, here’s what you’ll need:
1. People (as many as you want)
2. Alcohol
3. More than a four second attention span
Everyone sits in a circle. The ultimate goal is to count to 21. One person
begins by putting their right hand on their left shoulder or their left hand
on their right shoulder, indicating which direction the circle will go, the next
person can either decide to keep it going in the same direction or switch at
any point. When the number 7 is reached the person it lands on must change
the direction by putting either their right hand above their left hand (right) or
vice versa, and the same thing at 14.
When someone inevitably messes this up, or forgets to do it all together, they
drink, and must assign a word, phrase or action to any number they choose.
For example: The number 17 will now be the exclamation “Wowie Zowie!”
This must be said instead of 17 every time. Eventually all of the numbers
will be replaced with something else, so everyone must pay attention and
remember which number is assigned to what, drink when you mess up. Try
to get to 21 without stopping.

It’s that time of month again. That time when you get sick and tired of
going to the same restaurants, clubs, and hotspots that you usually go to.
We all know that MyHouse, Katsuya, and H. Wood are only fun for so long
and then eventually the bouncers learn your name, you run out of money
to keep paying $17 for a drink, and even Lindsay Lohan stops showing up
(a rare occurrence, we know). The greatest thing about L.A, O.C, and San

Are you in the mood to try some excellent food, leave full, and experience
it all at the hands of a world famous chef? Ford’s Filling Station

than Lemonade. Located in downtown,

lemonade selections are also excellent and sure

so you may sample more. Our picks
include the spaghetti squash and
farro in pomegranate vinaigrette, the
orecchiette pasta with roasted chicken
and chimichurri and the snap peas,
edamame with sesame vinaigrette.
The ambiance is fun, cheerful and

friendly with a lush outdoor terrace
and, of course, lots of lemon-colored
blossoms. This is the perfect spot.
If you’re more of a lounger

and less of a bar fly, be sure
to stop into The Woods,

enjoy one of their other

There are a ton of amazing restaurants in Orange County that offer doable
prices, gorgeous sunsets, and tantalizing and tasty dishes, yet Roman
Cucina in Sunset Beach somehow manages to top them all. This romantic
Italian hotspot, located on Pacific Coast Highway, is definitely a local
favorite. Menu items such as the Pasta Tombrello, a delectable blend of
diced mushrooms, ground Italian sausage and spicy bianco diavolo sauce
served over a hot bed of your choice of penne, spaghetti or fettuccini,
will be sure to make your mouth water. Martini Mondays, when all the
martinis are $5, or Wine Wednesdays, when there are no corkage fees and
all bottles of wine are half off, are the key times to enjoy Roman Cucina.
This adorable restaurant, just steps away from the sand, will provide
you with deliciously satisfying rich Italian dishes in a low-key yet classy
environment. Also, we aren’t sure if it is part of the job requirement, but
Roman Cucina has locally been known to have some of the best looking
male servers in town. Definitely a spot to check out!

As sexy spy Sarah Walker on NBC’s

hit series Chuck (Mondays, 8 p.m.),
Yvonne Strahovski knows a thing
or two about keeping her real life a
mystery. After all, the 5’ 9” beauty
is actually from Australia (and of
Polish descent), which she covers
with a well-executed American
accent on the show. As her infectious
laugh rings out on our shoot at West
Hollywood’s Chamberlain Hotel, you
also might not know that she spends
most of her time shooting late into
the night, rarely finding a moment for
some well-deserved downtime. Still,
she refuses to disappoint the show’s
many loyal fans who return week
after week, desperate to find out
what will happen between Sarah and
Chuck. So what does the new season
have in store? Strahovski took a
break from filming to clue us in.

SNMag: Why were you first drawn to Chuck and

the character of Sarah?
Yvonne Strahovski: What drew me in the

now. I feel really lucky to be playing a character

athletic and was always
SNMag: As an Australian, is it difficult to always
have do an American accent for the show? sort of a tomboy.”
YS: Australia is saturated with American culture
with the television shows that we have down
there. Living here, I’m surrounded by it. I never
hear Australian accents so it’s easy for me to go
into the American accent, the rhythm of it. It’s
kind of second nature now. Now, when I read
scripts I read it in an American accent.
SNMag: How do you manage the physical

demands of the role? Do you do all the
stunts yourself?
YS: I like to do the stunts. It’s one of my favorite
parts of the show. I grew up pretty athletic and
was always sort of a tomboy. I was a dancer as
well, so to me it’s kind of like learning a dance
routine. We get to do some pretty cool stuff, and
I do have to maintain a certain level of fitness. I’ll
hike and try to do some exercise here and there
when I have time and we’re not shooting so many
hours a week.
SNMag: What’s the coolest stunt you’ve gotten to

do yourself?
YS: There’s a fight scene coming up that we
haven’t done yet and it’s going to be one of my
favorite fight scenes. The other stunt that I did
was jumping off that clock tower in an earlier

Yvonne Strahovski
episode of the season where we sort of ziplined

down a power line. That was really cool.
SNMag: What is the mood like on set? How do

you like working with Zach Levi?
YS: The mood is very jovial on set. We’re always
sort of laughing and making jokes. It’s a really
great cast. We’re very lucky to have such a fun
cast and crew. Everybody’s so hard working, and
we spend so much time with each other and we
all get along.
SNMag: Can you tell us anything about what’s in

store for Chuck and Sarah?
YS: Things develop a little further, obviously. They
now have different love interests. You see Chuck
end his love interest. The story unfolds a little bit
more with Shaw and Sarah. I think she connects
to Shaw because of their similarities and because
they both lost people they’d loved in the spy world.
At the end of the day, the Chuck and Sarah thing
is an ongoing thing.
SNMag: It was recently revealed that Sarah’s

real name is Sam. We hear you came up with the
name. Why Sam?
YS: It was just the first thing I thought of in my
head. I had been thinking about it beforehand, and
I liked that Sam can be a girly name but it’s also
a bit boyish. It was simple so that to me felt like it
should be Sarah’s real name.
SNMag: What do you make of Chuck’s strong fan

base? Was that something that you anticipated?
YS: No, that was all new to me. We’ve been to all
the Comic-Cons and the response that we get is
unbelievable. It’s the most rewarding thing for us
when we’re cooped up day shooting the show. It
really becomes real when we see the reactions of
these people at these conventions. We see the fans
line up or when they see us and they see footage
from the show. It’s crazy how dedicated they are.

SNMag: Any crazy fan stories?

YS: Not really. I’ve had people give me stuff, teddy
bears and things.
SNMag: We know you’re constantly voted onto these

“Sexiest Women” lists. What’s your feeling on being
looked at as a sex symbol?
YS: I think it’s a mixture of being flattered and a
little bit uncomfortable at the same time. It’s not
something I think of when I do my job. I go to play
a character, tell a story and this sexy stuff is not
something I have any control over. It’s always nice to
hear that, but I certainly don’t think of myself that way
so it’s kind of like, “Oh, people think that?”
SNMag: You moved from Australia to Los Angeles

when you signed on to do the show. What was that
adjustment like?
YS: It was really hard because when I came here, it
was originally meant to be a two month trip. I didn’t
know I was staying here, so when I got the job, I had
nothing except a suitcase of clothes. It took me a
year before I went back home to Australia. It was like
starting a whole new life. Find a place to live, buy
furniture, a car. You don’t know anybody so it’s kind of
like starting school all over again.

SNMag: What are some of your favorite

places you’ve discovered in L.A.?
YS: I really love a lot of the canyons –
Mandeville Canyon in particular. I love
the restaurants too. Comme Ca is one
of my favorites. The salmon tartare
there is excellent. I also love going
down to the Huntington Dog Beach.
SNMag: What is your favorite thing to

sports top 10 athletes 25 & under
By Kiowa Bryan
TOP 10 ATHLETES 25 & UNDER

Shaun White
2010 Olympic Snowboarder/Skateboarder
Age: 23 Hometown: San Diego, CA
What do you do when you are so far above the rest of your competition?
According to pro snowboarder Shaun White, you just build your own half pipe in the back of
a mountain and take a helicopter to practice every day. Sound like the life of the average
23-year-old? Not so much, but “The Animal” is far from ordinary.
Hailing from San Diego, not only is White a two-time olympic gold medalist in
snowboarding, but also the only athlete to ever win gold in both the Winter and Summer
X-Games in the same year. At the age of nine, Tony Hawk spotted him at a local skate park
and took him under his wing. Talk about a mentor. By the age of 13, White had turned pro
in snowboarding and at 17, in skateboarding. With such success at an early age it would
have been very easy to lose your head but this crazy redhead stayed grounded. He is loved
by all that know him, and has used his notoriety to create the Shaun White Great Room at
the Target House – a home-away-from-home for families who have children undergoing
treatment at St. Jude’s. As if that wasn’t enough – can you believe he’s single?
Evan Lysacek
2010 Olympic Figure Skater
Age: 24 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Even Lysacek became an overnight celebrity when he took home Olympic

gold in Vancouver this past February.
For the first time in 22 years, USA won in the men’s event but it wasn’t a cakewalk to get
there. Evan Lysacek has been doing nothing but training for that moment for the last 14
years. Stress fractures, broken ribs, hip injuries – you name it, Lysacek’s worked through
it. He spends about four hours a day on the ice training, and four hours off- whether it be
weight lifting, running, or choreography. The discipline, commitment, and dedication he has
to his sport is unparalleled and it is exactly why he has reached his ultimate goal.
There’s more than Triple Axels and Flying Camel spins to this 24 year old. He’s managed
to accomplish the perfect balance of style, poise, and masculinity in his life, both on and
off the ice. Designers from Christian Dior to the late Alexander McQueen have flocked to
him to create one-of-a-kind looks for his programs. On the opposite end of the spectrum,
Lysacek’s an avid Lakers fan and has snagged cutie gymnast Nastia Liukin who won the
Olympic Gold in 2008 in all-around.
Rebecca Soni
Professional Swimmer
Age: 23 Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Rebecca burst onto the international scene at the 2008 Olympics when
she beat out Aussie favorite Leisel Jones to take the gold medal in the
200m breaststroke.
She didn’t stop there either, taking home the silver in the 100m breaststroke as well. This USC
senior holds pretty much every record in school history where breaststroke is involved and is
considered one of the top two swimmers of that event in the world. With the 2012 Olympics just
around the corner, she looks to take home two golds and make her country (and state) proud.

sports
Ryan Sheckler
Professional Skateboarder
Age: 20 Hometown: San Clemente, CA
There’s a popular saying of being “born to” do something. In Ryan’s case,

it’s not just a hypothetical phrase.
At 18 months old, Ryan Sheckler found his dad’s skateboard and began pushing it around on
one knee, until he was eventually standing on it. By the age of six, he was spending every
second he could practicing in the skate park his dad built for him in their back yard. Much
like Shaun White, Tony Hawk was instrumental in the development of Sheckler’s talent.
For his 6th birthday party, Sheckler pleaded with his parents to email Hawk and invite him
– there would be chocolate cake after all. Luckily, Hawk has a sweet tooth and the rest is
history. By the age of 13, Sheckler had turned pro and earned himself his first gold medal
in the X-Games – not to mention the title of youngest gold medalist in X-Games history.
He’s since gone on to win two more medals and hopes to add to that this summer.
In 2007, MTV took notice of this bright young star and pitched a deal to film a reality show
on his life, which has become so popular that it’s about to start its third season. Barely 20,
Sheckler is living the dream. Between appearances and contests, this Clemente born and
raised kid manages to have quite the social life. With a hot girlfriend, a new pimped out
house, and yet still a good head on his shoulders, the sky’s the limit for Sheckler.
Blake DeWitt
Los Angeles Dodgers
Age: 24 Hometown: Pasadena, CA
This 24 year old took the MLB world by storm at spring training in 2008
when he stepped in for a bunch of injured third base veterans.
He ended up as the third base starter for the Dodgers on opening day and started most of
the 2008 season before being benched and shuffled between the Dodger’s minor league
system since then. Being the young guy, and the new kid on the block, Blake DeWitt has
really had to prove his worth and has done so by learning the ways of second base. With
veteran Orlando Hudson gone, there’s a battle for the second base job this spring and it’s
DeWitt’s to lose.
Where will you find this small town boy in his down time? Not at the club or beach but
laying low. He resides in Pasadena to avoid the LA traffic to and from the stadium and likes
to spend his down time hunting or fishing.
Ryan Sweeney
Oakland Athletics
Age: 25 Hometown: Oakland, CA
It hasn’t taken long for this

youngster to make a huge impact in
Oakland.
Not only is he one of the best offensive
outfielders in the game but he can hit the
ball as well, batting .293 last year. The end
of last season was a bit rough for Ryan
Sweeney, as he played through some though
knee injuries but he’s feeling good and
healthy this spring and is only looking to
improve on last year’s numbers.
What was Sweeney doing this offseason?

Nothing big - just getting married.
Congratulations to Sweeney and his
bride Natasha Lampson.

top 10 athletes 25 & under
Reggie Bush
New Orleans Saints
Age: 25 Hometown: San Diego, CA
This 25 –year-old San Diego native may be the luckiest man alive.
He has a shiny new Super Bowl ring, a Heisman Trophy, and will soon be putting a ring of a
different kind on one of the hottest women alive – Kim Kardashian.
Starting out his career at Helix High School in San Diego, Pete Carrol spotted Reggie Bush
and recruited him to play for USC. During his three years as a Trojan, Bush shattered
records and earned countless awards before opting to enter the NFL draft before his senior
year. His NFL career has had its ups and downs and Bush has been plagued with injuries
but everything came together like magic for the playoffs this year. Although his heart is in
SoCal, it’s wasn’t difficult to fall in love with the city and spirit of New Orleans and Bush
donates 25% of his earnings from jersey sales to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Matt Barkley
USC Quarterback
Age: 19 Hometown: Santa Ana, CA
While in high school at Mater Dei High in Santa Ana, California;.

Matt Barkley’s football coach described his skill as being a cross
betweenTom Brady and Joe Montana.
He wasn’t exaggerating. Last fall, Barkley became USC’s first true freshman quarterback
to start a season opener. The result: a 56-3 blowout in favor of the Trojans. The rest of the
season wasn’t quite as smooth, but the 19 year old carried the team like a seasoned pro
and earned them a win at the Emerald Bowl. Next year’s goals will, no doubt, prove to be
loftier but Barkley is ready for the challenge.
You’d think that being in one of the most sought after positions in college football might
change a person’s values. Not the case with Barkley. He plays guitar in his church’s youth
group and spent his 2008 Christmas holiday in South Africa volunteering at a children’s
orphanage. Finally, a boy you’d be proud to take home to Mom and Dad.
Hannah Teter
Professional Snowboarder
Age: 23 Hometown: South Lake Tahoe, CA
Although she originally hails from Vermont, Hannah has since adopted South
Lake Tahoe, California as her new home.
At the age of 23, she already has two Olympic medals under her belt – a silver fresh from Vancouver just
a couple months ago, and a gold from Torino in 2006. Add to that a gaggle of X-Game medals, an ESPY
award for best action sport female, and her very own Ben and Jerry’s flavor of ice cream and you are
just barely touching on the accomplishments of this young athlete.
Hannah Teter has used her notoriety in the utmost positive way – starting Teter’s Gold, a company that
raises money to build schools, dig water wells, and help with water filtration in Kirindon, Kenya. She is
also famous for donating her contest prize money to those in need, including the people of Dafur and
the survivors of the Haiti Earthquake. This cool, down to earth chick is not only beautiful on the inside
but scored one of four spots for Winter Olympians in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Toby Gerhart
Running Back, Stanford
Age: 22 Hometown: Norco, CA
Born and raised in Norco, California, Gerhart still holds the third highest total
of rushing yards in high school history – a record he made at Norco High.
The record breaking doesn’t stop there either. Just to list a few: Toby Gerhart has the second most
rushing yards in Stanford history, was the 2009 Pac-10 offensive player of the year, and just barely
missed out winning the 2009 Heisman Trophy in a vote that proved to be the slimmest margin
of defeat in its history. Now for the curveball, literally - he is a starting outfielder on Stanford’s
baseball team. He is such a great player in fact that he was offered a lucrative contract after the
2009 MLB draft, but turned it down to return to college football. Now the world awaits to see what’s
in store for Gerhart as he will enter the NFL draft and find out his destiny at the end of April.

What to watch this month

Party Down
Tune in: Premieres Friday, April 23 at 10 p.m. on Starz
Since not many people are rushing to subscribe to Starz, Party Down was
somewhat overlooked when it premiered last year. However, trust us when
we tell you it’s one of the best comedies on television. It centers on the
members of an L.A. catering team, all Hollywood wannabes scrambling
for tips and their “big break” as they tackle a new event in each episode. It
boasts an outstanding ensemble cast including Lizzy Caplan, Adam Scott
and Megan Mullally (replacing Glee’s Jane Lynch), as well as guest actors
like Kristen Bell and Jennifer Coolidge. With deadpan humor, relatable
characters, ridiculous scenarios and even a little heartfelt romance, it’s
definitely worth a watch.
