Working through the Weekend
As we draw closer to the arbitrary "end of summer" designation (never mind that here in Los Angeles, we'll be suffering throught the most brutal heat of the year through, approximately, Halloween), everyone seems to have plans, more importantly, they seem to have plans that don't involve you. Well, kuaptic is your friend and we've come up with a bunch of great stuff just for you.In fact, you'd better get hopping, cause they start a week early.
Sunset Junction -- (this weekend) This yearly bash in Silverlake, features great music and great shopping (also huge crowds, crying children and intense heat.) The atmosphere is like a party for everyone though, and it's usually lots of fun. This year, the Walkmen, Chaka Khan (no -- really!), Rilo Kiley, the New York Dolls and the Gossip are playing, as well as a bunch of people you've never heard of and the Suicide Girls are doing their burlesque thang.
Arthur Fest -- Thrown by some arty magazine you've never heard of, Arthur fest has a ton of kick ass bands. Thrown in Los Feliz at the Barnesdale Art Park they advertise trees, grass and shade as well as local food and beverages -- and, puzzlingly, energy drinks. Duh! Like you'd throw a festival without energy drinks. That's like throwing a rave without ecstasy.) Bands include Sonic Youth, The Black Keys, Yoko Ono (headlining day 2!), Spoon (a kuaptic fave) and last, but never, ever least, Sleater-Kinney!
Cinespia @ Hollywood Forever -- Showing Sullivan's Travels this weekend and Night of the Hunter on September Third. Though there are a number of ways to indulge your movies-outside-in-the-summertime yen, we can't say enough good things about Cinespia!
Sweet and Hot Jazz Festival -- at the LAX Marriott Hotel. We don't know anything about jazz, but maybe this would be a good place to hear some!
Labor Day Festival -- Do you like Compton? Then you might like this big street festival complete with games and rides.
The First Annual Art Deco Festival at the Queen Mary -- Lots of lectures, dinners and tours aboard the Queen Mary -- as well as some kind of art deco marketplace. Sounds cool!
