A full day of drinking microbrews with someone else driving: As good as it gets. Meet for breakfast at Blue Palms, hit up the charity-supporting festivities, and bring some brew to share, ‘cuz Brian and the crew are literally going to to take one down and pass it around the bus.

Beer Tasting: Aloha from Kona Brewery @ BevMo VanNuys. 12-3pm. I know, I know. Van Nuys. Gross. But beer makes everything better and Kona makes some great beer, so if you find yourself in The Val, head to the Van Nuys BevMo for an oasis of non (or slightly less)-suckiness.

Great Lake Swimmers – Long Into Evening

ready for some morose head nodding? I SURE AM!!! check out Great Lake Swimmers playing tonight at Spaceland. don’t talk too loud at the show, now, or someone might shush you angrily like you’re at a library. and then you can punch him in the nose and the audience will stare at you begrudgingly and the singer will stop the show with his, “Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters!… Let’s love each other,  let’s love each other!” “fcuk that!” you’ll scream at the son of a bitch while thinking to yourself, “rock and roll used to mean something, you bastards!”, choosing not to waste your words on hipster swine as you push through the crowd and out into the starless night with some skinny kid’s blood dripping from your knuckles, still steaming as it hits the Los Angeles pavement. Kate Maki and Travel By Sea open.

yeah, yeah... simpler times... fcuking indie rock needs to get a little more excited about modern technology and stuff...

SUGAR in Silver Lake.

February 28th, 2009

Oh it was a scene alright. 80% of LA’s hipsters made it out to celebrate the 100 pieces from 100 artists. There was booze, a taco truck, live music and a thick crowd of people in tight clothes. Gotta love Silver Lake. But more importanly, we took pics!:

GhettoGloss.

February 27th, 2009

If you’re looking for a sweet gallery in LA, try GhettoGloss in Silver Lake. Not only is there always a cool exhibition going on, but they also host some great events that don’t hurt the wallet much, if at all, during these oh-so-pressing times. Right now they got Ian O’Phelan going on:

Ian O'Phelan
They also host, SILVERLAKE ART CRAFT AND VINTAGE, a flea market, every Sunday located at
2450 Glendale Blvd LA CA 90039
in the CITI BANK parking lot.

Holler.
