Anvil: The Story of Anvil’s Life
So so many things wrong with the Critic’s Choice Awards, going on in Downtown LA tonight. Such awkward pairings (aren’t these people supposed to be actors?), such a bad, nay – terrible host (Kristen Chenoweth? Amy Sedaris did it first and did it best. Go home.) The vibe of the evening seems to be that [...]
It’s Chinese New Year Time!

The Evening of Sinister Amusement
The Evening of Sinister Amusement at Hollywood’s Unknown Theatre was a little sinister, a little amusing, and all in all some great entertainment. After a long, long, (maybe I got there too early?) long time to get started, in which I was subject to way too much Ramones, the night finally opened with films by [...]
Absinthe, Opium, & Magic
There’s a movement of sorts happening in theatre, a decidedly darker realm of theatrical performances that include aerialist, fire, caberet, burlesque, and loves to include the audience. The Grand Guignolers is one of these all-inclusive experiences in the vain of Cirque Berzerk, Lucent Dossier, and the whole steampunk aesthetic. Join the Grand Guignolers Fridays and [...]

Arias With A Twist: Drag Diva Takes Redcat
“Arias with a Twist” is a whacked-out show that demands your attention by employing quick wit fused with extremely imaginative staging. This is all held together by the soaring song stylings of this demented (and very talented) singer.
Let’s Review: The Venice Swap-o-rama-rama
We heart the Swap-o-rama-rama! It’s a great great thing. You bring a bag of clothes, pay your $5 and root around the piles and piles of everyone else’s old clothes for your personal diamond in the rough. It was so well-organized and such a well-oiled machine. There were crafters on the side, mostly Halloween themed, [...]

Sunset Strip Music Festival
Part warning for all who dare to drive around the Sunset Strip, trying to get anywhere besides the Sunset Strip, part announcement for the upcoming festival, the Sunset Strip Music Fest is all things alt rock, as if 106.7 and ye olde 103.1 got together and had a completely predictable baby.

SOUP Kitchen 6 Rocks Highland Park
The latest installment of the SOUP Kitchen was definitely the best yet. It was held at Juanita’s, which has been the best venue for the art/music/fashion party yet. The party started with SOUP Kitchen founding band, Not SOUP. Overall, they were a little rocky, but who’s got time to practice when you’re organizing SK6? [...]
Cirque Berzerk – The New Greatest Show on Earth
We arrived early, and were greeted by a sprawling circus tent in the middle of the LA State Historic Park, against the already glittering skyline of downtown LA. There were a handful of people congregating, milling around the grounds, waiting for the sky to darken and the gate to open into the wonderfully strange world [...]
