Ahh, the Museum of JurassicTechnology. Somewhere between the California Institute of Abnormal Arts and Victorian showcase, you occupy a space in which being comfortable with ambiguity is a requirement to ride the ride. News about how cool MTJ is has long spread from friend to friend, so I finally made a point to stop in [...]

We know there are some of you who can’t think of any good restaurants when pressed, and/or don’t want to put any effort into your Valentine’s Day date. Not because you don’t care, but because it’s just an all-out pain in the ass to find a restaurant that could/should impress your date, make a reservation, [...]

So us east-coasters love the occasional rainy day. We see it as a chance to go out and really connect with our outside surroundings and experience real weather, or an excuse to hide away at home without feeling the pressure of the constant sun to GO OUTSIDE!!! all the time.
This particular rainy day was spent [...]

It’s what Baccanalia is all about – a swirling festival of art, live music, live painting, art installations, with cheese and wine flowing all around. The Daydream Republic has started off 2010 with a bang, moving into a bigger space at 4500 West Jefferson – remember the tiny gallery space they had in 2009 on [...]

If you were at some other lame party besides Area 33’s awesome New Year’s Eve party, you really missed the boat. But not to worry, there’s always Chinese New Year to make up for any great partying you missed on New Year’s Eve. Chinese New Year at Area 33 is hosted by LA’s top techno [...]

In my estimation, Area 33 was the place to be for NYE in LA. At any point in the night. This new venue in Culver City seems like it could very well be the replacement Space Island, or at least that’s what I hoped. Space Island was such a cool venue, with 3 separate DJ [...]

First of all, Ugo has three parts, as far as we can tell – there’s a casual cafe, a more upscale restaurant, and a cozy little wine bar. They’re all right next to each other, so if you mistakenly walk into one, the oh so friendly and cheerful hostesses will direct you to the right [...]

So we’ve got a soft spot for Gorilla Moonshine! First of all, it’s these guys (see above), playing the funkiest SoCal beats since Sublime thought it would be a good idea to start a band. Gorilla Moonshine’s got heart, and you can hear it right through their recordings. Live, they’re a whole ‘nother funktastic animal, [...]

If you haven’t heard of What’s Their Name? coming out of La Crescenta, you are missing entirely too much. This duo, comprised of Thad and Mike, has been rocking socks for too long to remember.
