Last night: 2.7 events

Last night's Crazy 4 Cult show was indeed a mob scene, with a thick line clotting the sidewalk down Melrose. Inside, the sauna/art show was a sweaty feast of paintings dedicated to cult film favorites, my favorite being an homage to Better Off Dead by Aaron Jasinski. Title? "Waiting for Cusack" Loff it.

Also noteworthy: a Luke Chueh Donnie Darko piece, and a series by Scott Campbell called "Great Showdowns" about epic movie conflicts. Campbell's work is tiny, delicate, and adorable. I want to eat it. I am also very hungry.

I had a Lady Party at the Echoplex to attend, and after a high five with Plasticgod (once known by the less family friendly moniker Plasticfucker) I scooted out, only to be lured by the back parking lot before I left.

A free Dewar's bar and movies projected on the wall had me hooked for another hour. Met the lovely Kari from Truxtop , and saw Misha , who was rightfully giddy from a recent sale to Kevin Smith.

Then it was off to the Lady Party for some chick comedy. Met up with the Esteemed Mister George Ducker, who conducted today's piece on Jerry Stahl and Oprah smoking crack.

After spotting a tour bus the size of Delaware parked in the alley behind the Echo, we made the sound decision to hold our heads high with false conifdence and waltz straight through the back gate of the Echo's smoking patio to catch some of the Black Lips show.

Wilting, I finally hit bed, but not before eating a bag of Cheetos for dinner.
