"THE SIMPSONS" SIGNING AND ART OPENING: If you love Springfield's most animated family, you love the annual "Treehouse of Horror" episode (we remember the pigeon/rat fondly). If you can't wait for the always-around-Halloween show, there's a new "Treehouse" comic, and a slew of the strange pens behind it will be in person, signing, at Family. That includes Matt Groening. If you've got the guts, stay for the "Simpson"-y art show. Family on Fairfax, 7PM.
CONCERTS: Jackson Browne sings in support of Artists for a New South Africa at The Wiltern (look for a host of special guests and speakers, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu); Miley Cyrus and Metro Station make for Staples Center; and Amoeba Records presents a free show spotlighting the release of "Los Angeles Nuggets" and some of the great artists of the '60s scene.
HIKING WITH TOM LABONGE: Councilman LaBonge seems to be everywhere. The District 4 rep spoke at Farmers Market's 75th anniversary; he made LA picks for Los Angeles magazine. Now he's hosting his annual Fall Equinox Hike. You're invited. Just meet at 5:30PM at the north end of the parking lot for Griffith Observatory. Dress in comfy hiking clothes. And prepare to walk to the top of Mount Hollywood with the councilman.
Not only is Chuck Liddell quite the dancer (as you can see each week on "Dancing with the Stars"), he is now a voice-over star.
