To Do: Your Weekend Of Utter Bliss
Friday
· We're not exactly sure what to make of this, but everyone should probably go: "Zombie vs. Vampire: An Unholy Smackdown… of Literature!" The apocalyptic war of the undead has begun — and this time, it’s textual! Taste the dark pleasure of an unrepentant rhetorical assault on mortality! DAVE “Guts” ENG takes on GRACE “Blood” KRILANOVICH in ten judged rounds of brutal undead literary action! Referee JUSTIN “Bones” VEECH keeps the gore flowing! Before the Title Match: STEPHANIE “Fang” RIOUX frames your facile longing for infinity with righteous lycanthropic fury! DJ ETERNAL PAIN OF DAMNATION will extend your suffering into the Nevermore!" Um, yeah! At Betalevel.
· Friday Night Music: Joshua Tree Music Festival (with Victoria Williams and a bunch of acts we’ve never heard of—overcompensate with drugs should you attend); Trashcan Sinatras at the El Rey; Erasure begins a three night stand at Avalon.
Saturday
· The Acme A Day In The Life sketch show (featuring Blogging's Wil Wheaton) threatens to make obscene amounts of funny all over you, but only if you arrive at the Acme Comedy Theatre at the prescribed time.
· Because you don't know shit about this city until you've toured it through the films of Buster Keaton, OK, hot shot?:“Touring Los Angeles Through the Films of Buster Keaton" at the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
Sunday
· North Hollywood: It's not just for people who came here for pilot season in 2002 and never left. The 13th Annual NoHo Theatre & Arts Festival invades everyone's favorite artsy pocket of the Valley.
· Sunday Night Music, sponsored by "You're sick of the Housewives": LCD Soundsystem and M.I.A. at the El Rey; The Adored at the Troubadour.
