To Do: Homegrown, Addict, Horror
· Amoeba’s Home Grown Showcase at the Mint features music by unsigned artists personally picked by the people gracious enough to only occasionally laugh at you when you ask them where the Coldplay section is. If that's not enough of a reason to turn up, tonight's show will also benefit musician Dax Pierson, who was recently paralyzed in a bus accident while touring.
· Loveline host/Adam Carolla enabler Dr. Drew Pinsky lectures about Understanding Work Addictions at Le Meridien. For the record, it's not technically a "work addiction" if your evil Hungarian blogmaster chains you to the computer and barks that you "Produce! Produce!" for 10 hours a day. Just sayin'.
· Have absolutely no desire to see the gawdawful remake of The Amityville Horror? The New Beverly is playing the original's sequel, Amityville II: The Possession, which is assuredly ten times more enjoyable (though decidedly less abtastic), as part of the Grindhouse Film Festival.
