Your Weekend To Do's
Before we get started with this weekend's To Do's, Defamer would like to bid a fond farewell to Intern Kerry, who has been writing the copy you have seen in this space for darn near the last four years. Everyone at Defamer, both past and present, would like to thank her for not only keeping us all abreast of what we should and should not be doing on a nightly basis in Los Angeles, but also for making us laugh. Don't fret, though, To Do's will be back on Monday, albeit in a slightly different form. Now, on with the weekend activities...
FRIDAY
· Your evening's musical selections include Blind Melon at the El Rey (we're not sure how that is possible, unless The Bee Girl is now on lead vox), Stiff Little Fingers at the House of Blues, Berlin at Crash Mansion.
· Maria Shriver will be signing her book, Just Who Will You Be?, at the Barnes & Noble at The Grove. If you're looking to answer that question, we suggest that you don't choose "the governor's mistress" ... she won't be pleased. Those cheekbones will cut a bitch!
· Funny dudes Dave Holmes (a recent PrivacyWatch star!) and Scott Gimple are hosting The Friday Forty over at IO West. It's part comedy, part game show and all awesome.
SATURDAY
· Tonight's musical lineup includes Nortec Collective at the Echo, The Warlocks at the Smell and John Doe at McCabe's Guitar Shop.
· Out of the Box Events presents the Downtown Scavenger Hunt. As Flavorpill describes, "the game leads teams of six throughout downtown, as they follow clues to hidden gems of LA history and architecture." It should be fun, not boring! Location given with registration, which means you may have to bring an egg to a convenience store to find out where it all goes down, 90210 style.
SUNDAY
· If you're the type of cat who likes to close the weekend off with a nice beer buzz and ringing ear drums, try Duran Duran at the Nokia Theater, Lyrics Born at the Key Club and Blood on the Wall at the Echo. You won't be disappointed.
· John Malkovich directs and stars in "Seduction and Despair," a multimedia concert presented in collaboration with Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra at Barnum Hall. It's about murder, prostitution, incarceration and writing. But not necessarily in that order. [via]
