The City Prolific: Weekend Events September 14 - 15

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14

Grand Park Presents: E.T. Extra Terrestrial

I'm sure I don't need to tell you how well this movie holds up. It's funny, touching, weird, and heartbreaking. And it cemented, early on, my love of Reese's Pieces. Go downtown and watch those bicycles soar over the skyline of Los Angeles. Bring a picnic, but leave the booze at home.

Free

La Brea Music Festival: Summer Garage Jam

A free summer concert on the upper deck of La Brea's Parking Garage, with DJ's, live indie band sets, food trucks, art, and shopping.  (I love when LA parking lots are put to good use. When we have a transit-oriented city, we'll have all these empty parking lots that will need to be repurposed.)

ALL WEEKEND

L.A. County Fair

Growing up in Salt Lake City, the county fair was one of the most fun thing to do all year. Then, when I spent my summers in Montana as a teenager, the county fair was the biggest, most exciting thing to do all summer. Oh, the memories. I've heard incredible things about the food at the LA County Fair - deep fried chocolate covered pickles? Yum.

A Piece of Information

The heat wave has broken, and we've all gotten back to work. Fewer beach trips, vacations over, barbecues past.

Just last week I was on a mad hunt for an air conditioner, and when I learned that there were none left to buy in the city of Los Angeles, I began searching for a window fan. The outcome was the same. Luckily, temperatures dipped, and a cool breeze made its way into my home office. The softer light and gentler air reminds me of Autumn (that's all Autumn is in Los Angeles - a memory), and I find myself missing New York.

But then, out of curiosity, I look at the weather, and it's 91 degrees in Manhattan today. I remember that on September 11th, 2001, it was also hot. Not in the 90's, but in the 80's, I'd guess. I remember because I was wearing black rayon slacks and black leather oxfords, and, at 10:00 in the morning, I was hot.

I've written about that morning before. But there is something I left out of the story: as I ran down Broadway, trying to hail a cab to get back home, I heard a ripping sound. My rayon pants had split along the rear seam. I navigated the rest of the way home, through dust and debris and panic, with my underwear exposed to the world. A piece of absurdity on a tragic day, that I've never told anyone before.

Heat Wave (Summer isn't Over)

Though the summer season may be rolling to a close, our summer weather has no intention of cooling itself down. In time for FYF and the Los Angeles County Fair, our temperatures have skyrocketed. I, for one, appreciate any reason to get outside of my non-air conditioned office.

Keep these sites bookmarked, for more outdoor opportunities:

The City Prolific: Weekend Events July 13 - 14

Last weekend was one of beaches, pools, bicycles, bikinis, and barbecues. Biked up the coast from Manhattan Beach to Venice, swam in the ocean, swam in a rooftop pool, and barbecued in our little backyard.  This weekend will likely be a little more urban (and clothed).

The City Prolific: Weekend Events July 5 - 7

I was in New England last weekend, in the humidity, and under clouds of mosquitos, barbecuing, blowing bubbles, and lighting fireworks. It's a very Americana summer back there.  Back in LA, I've been all about the beach, but it seems, according to this weekend's events, that I ought to shift my leanings toward Downtown.

FRIDAY, JULY 5

Grand Performances Presents a Tribute to Nina Simone

Did you know that there is a large amphitheater on a beautiful man-made pond in a plaza called California, on top of Bunker Hill to which you can ride Angel's Flight?  Did you also know that an organization called Grand Performances holds free outdoor concerts there, to which you can bring a picnic, with beer and wine? If you didn't know all of this, it's probably because California Plaza is nestled between sky scrapers, with no clear pedestrian access - that is, if you're just wandering down Grand Avenue or Olive Street, you'd have no idea it's there, up those stairs and behind those buildings. In any case, Grand Performances offers a lot of great concerts throughout the summer, and tonight's is a tribute to Nina Simone, hosted by KCRW DJ Tom Schnabel.

Free

8:00pm

California Plaza
350 S Grand Ave
Los Angeles 90071

(Avoid driving, if you can since parking is a pain - take the train to 7th Street Metro.)

Friday Night Sing-a-Longs Present Soul Train Classics

Fun! Since you're going downtown for Grand Performances anyway, swing by the Walt Disney Concert Hall to admire the architecture, and the acoustics, along with the sound of your own voice. Friday Night Sing-Alongs provide an opportunity for song birds of all stripes to raise their voices with musical backing by a live band. Tonight's event will lead you through a communal belting of Soul Train Classics.

-The event is FREE. However, tickets are required for this event and are distributed beginning at 6PM on the day of event. One ticket per person waiting in line.
-There is limited seating, so come early.  First come, first served.
-Easy-to-use song sheets are provided.

Free

6:30pm - 8pm

Walt Disney Concert Hall
111 South Grand Avenue

Once again, don't drive - take the train.

Pershing Square Friday Night Flicks Presents Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Or, since you'll be downtown for the soul train sing-along, head over to Pershing Square with your picnic (but no booze), for a screening of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Aside from being one of the best examples of Robert Redford and Paul Newman's legendary screen partnerships, this film also features one of the best (maybe the only?) cinematic uses of the song "Raindrops are Falling on My Head."

8:00pm

The City Prolific: Weekend Events June 22 - 23

We went to Laguna Beach last weekend for a quick get-away, and its beauty and accessibility from the sprawl of Los Angeles had us falling in love with California all over again. Yesterday, I produced a video for ScottDW at Huntington Beach. Splashing around in the waves with a go-pro - what a great way to spend a day. Now I've got one weekend to catch some Fringe Festival shows, before I head out of town again. Seeing Fever and Wet the Hippo today, with a television writer's panel at the Central Library in between. Tomorrow is CicLAvia, one of my favorite events all year - I won't miss it. Then, more Fringe shows (Lost Moon Radio and more tbd). It is, undeniably, summer.

SATURDAY, JUNE 22

Office Space at Electric Dusk Drive-In

The Man Who Knew Too Much presented by Cinespia

Hitchcock’s gripping suspense story stars Jimmy Stewart, a man who tries to save his family from foreign agents as he dodges the police. With an amazing performance by Doris Day as a mother plunged into danger. One of Hitchcock’s best, and the first movie I ever saw at Cinespia in the cemetery, five years ago.

SUNDAY, JUNE 23

CicLAvia

This is my favorite thing to do. No cars, open streets and the opportunity to explore one of the most legendary boulevards in Los Angeles by foot, bike, skates or other non-motorized transport.  Wilshire Boulevard was first carved out as a long path through a barley field in 1895. While its beginnings were humble, this path has transformed into one of the most notable boulevards in all of the United States.

CicLAvia – Iconic Wilshire Boulevard is part of Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. This collaboration, initiated by the Getty, brings together several local arts institutions for a  look at the postwar built environment of the city as a whole, from its famous residential architecture to its vast freeway network. Six miles of car-free, open streets and participants can join the fun at any point along the route.

Free

9:00am - 4:00pm

All along Wilshire Blvd, between 7th Street Metro and La Brea.

Korean BBQ Fest

The fifth annual Korean BBQ Festival cooks up right on Wilshire Boulevard as CicLAvia bikes through Koreatown. There will be food vendors selling Korean hand-rolls, galbi and bulgogi, baby back ribs and more, plus a Beer and Wine Garden for Singha beer and soju cocktails. 

Free

ALL WEEKEND

Hollywood Fringe Festival

Theatre nerds unite! For the next three weekends, the fourth annual Hollywood Fringe festival takes over nearly every stage in Hollywood, showcasing the imaginings of our flourishing theatre community. You'll see everything from campy cabaret to avant garde dance to inspired drama and yadda yadda. The greatest part is that thousands of Angelenos are spending the next two weekends making live art. I mean, that's just cool.

From the press release:

Venues include both traditional and unorthodox venues; fully equipped theatres, street corners, clubs, bars, and places unexpected. Performances are self-produced by local, national, and international arts companies and independent performers. In the spirit of most Fringes, participation is open and uncensored.

Hollywood is home to dozens of Los Angeles’ premiere theatres and clubs, making it the perfect spot for the festival. The neighborhood has always been a source of unapologetic opinion, underground mentality, and a deep passion for the cutting-edge. The Hollywood Fringe is an immersive festival worthy of the neighborhood’s reputation.

Beat Swap Meet

Dig through crates of vinyl in Chinatown.  Over two  Days, 70+ Invited Record Collectors & Dealers from all over the West Coast and beyond, buy sell & trade: Blues, Boogie, Funk, Hip Hop, Jazz, Latin, New Wave, Psych, Punk, Rap, Reggae, Rock, Ska, Soul, and World 12′s LP’s & 45′s.  DJ’s spin rare selections from their record collections.

Pershing Square Friday Night Flicks presents Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

I love this movie.

Picnic baskets and snacks are welcome. Food will also be available to purchase at the "Square".

The City Prolific: Weekend Events June 1 - 2

Last weekend, I went to Street Food Cinema's screening of Stand By Me, and watched Corey Feldman's band open for the movie. I have no pictures to prove to you that I was there, watching Corey Feldman bust his MJ moves for two full hours. But I was there, it did happen, and I will never forget it. It was like an episode of the Twilight Zone set in the entertainment industry of the '80s.

It's going to be hot this weekend! Summer is making itself known.

Cinespia Presents Some Like it Hot

Did you know it's Marilyn Monroe's birthday? Celebrate by seeing her play a vapid ditz in Some Like It Hot. It's a fun movie, and she's totally magnetic. But damn it, Marilyn the woman was smart! And interesting! I wish we could see the behind-the-scenes. Anyway, she, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis star in the Billy Wilder comedy classic that has two men disguising themselves as women to join an all girls jazz band and hide from the mob. Marilyn plays the drop dead gorgeous singer who tempts them to give up their disguises, in her "most sizzling role". DJ David Holmes Spins before and after the movie. Bring blankets, drinks and picnic dinners. As a courtesy to other moviegoers: NO TALL CHAIRS.

Memorial Day weekend means both a quiet LA, as most folks head out of town, and an event-filled weekend, as all of the summer festivals kick-off.  So, go, have fun, and find yourself a nice, open spot on the grass to relax. Hang in the cemetery, down at USC, on top of a hill, or even (get this!), on the LA River!

The City Prolific: Weekend Events May 17 - 19

I was in Vegas last weekend, as anyone who follows me on Twitter or Instagram knows. I really, really love Vegas, as anyone who knows me knows.  Behind the opulence and drunkenness and overall fakery, it's a city of obscure holes-in-the-wall and surprising secrets. That, and gambling, which I enjoy (I like playing games)!

But, it's nice to be home, and facing a temperate weekend filled with fun things to do. See below.

FRIDAY

Bike Night at the Hammer

Fun! The Hammer does all sorts of cool events during the summer. See some art, see some film, get some air, and some inspiration.  Festivities include bicycle portraits, a screening of the 1983 Australian action movie BMX Bandits (starring a young, not-yet-famous Nicole Kidman), bicycle-centric crafts, and free admission to the LLYN FOULKES exhibit. Guest hosted by artist and bicycle enthusiast/activist Lisa Anne Auerbach.  Dust off your wheels and head over!

The City Prolific: Weekend Events May 3 - 5

The City Prolific is a round-up of fun, cheap, social events around Los Angeles. I keep the list affordable, usually only posting events that are $10 or less. However, I will now start adding theatre events. These are usually more than $10, sometimes going up to $30 a ticket, but let me assure you, there is nothing better on which to spend your money. Seeing theatre gets you wandering the deepest veins of your city's cultural pulse. If you want to know your city, know its theatre.

FRIDAY, MAY 3

HOT CAT

Hot Cat is an original play created in conjunction with Theatre Movement Bazaar and Theatre of NOTE. Both companies create innovative stage works, and I'm very excited about what they've created together.  Hot Cat, a new take on recreate an American classic by Tennessee Williams, explores the mendacity in family dynamics, unrequited sexual yearnings, mortality and sibling rivalries.
