Your weekend, on a platter
First-most, my comrades: hello again. We had a brief hiatus from blogomania, but it's nice to be back in black...and white striped socks.
If you've had a nutty week, I think it's best that you decompress by scheduling as many back-to-back recreational activities as possible.
Friday
Tonight, I hear that David Cross is playing the devil at the grotesquely hilarious Hollywood Hellhouse, Dylan Mulroney is Jesus, and the "Kid n Play guy" is DJing the boozy youth group afterparty. Oh, hell yeah!
Saturday
I myself am straight-pumped about the Angel City Drive-in on Saturday. Bring some wine and cheese (or a 40 and some Baked Lays) for a friggity-free screening of not just Evil Dead 1, but Evil Dead 2, people. Double your evil! We're dizzy with the awesomeness.
Also awesome, but so-effing-sold-out-its-tragic, is the Silversun Pickups, Midnight Movies and Happy Hallows show at the Wiltern Saturday night. No, you can't buy tickets. But I'm not above milling about in front of the venue, begging strangers for an extra.
If you fear both zombies and ticket haggling, you could always hit the Immigrant Punk art show of off-beat drawings at the lovely little Black Maria gallery in Atwater. If you're an art hopper, catch the Camille Rose Garcia show Saturday night, too.
Sunday
Either take a stroll in the park and pick up some bitchin' crafty items at the Barnsdall Art Market, hide indoors with thousands of pasty-faced gamers, or get some cheap (free) laughs with a man known as The Fogland. Okay, only I call him the Fogland, and behind his back, but he is a funny man, and is appearing at Josh Fadem's Acid Reflux Hour on Sunday.
Also on the agenda, for me personally: pancakes, looking at baby kittens, the eradication of at least one major global illness, and maybe laundry. Yay for weekends.
Get to it,

PS- Tickets for David Sedaris go on sale on Monday, Oct. 22 (for a show in, yes, January). Also, the Metromixians are having a huge party/show at the Viper Room on Tuesday. Moving Units, Paul V, free booze. Hello! You can still rsvp at rsvpla@metromix.com and I suggest you do so at once.
