Friday
· Writers Richard "LA Innuendo" Rushfield, Aimee Bender, and Kevin Sampsell read from their contributions to the
The Insomniac Reader: Stories of the Night anthology at Skylight Books. Get there early, or suffer the peculiar Skylight humiliation of being crammed behind the sci-fi shelf, catching glimpses of the readers through the spaces between Philip K. Dick books.
· Death from Above 1979 descend like late-70s doom at the Echo, though with a very modern, nonfatal spin.
Saturday
· Celebrate "Merely OK Saturday" at the Hollywood Shop Til You Drop sale at Area 101, featuring designers from around the world and a free wine and cheese reception.
· LACMA screens Straw Dogs and Taxi Driver, adding just the right amount of cinematic violence to the holiday weekend.
· Lebowski Fest 2005, the world's greatest celebration of one of the best movies of all time, commandeers the Cal Bowl in Lakewood. Expect at least a dozen people dressed as The Jesus.
Sunday
· Happy Easter, and this advice goes for Christians and non-Christians alike: You really don't need that 15th Cadbury egg. Just put it down and walk away.
