According to Eater LA, the vodka bar Silo Bar would be opening sometime this month. I took a stroll down 7th yesterday to see if it was ready to open for Artwalk Thursday.

Masque Films’ Inevitable Unveiling on Saturday night did a great job of setting the aesthetic tone of Masque Films. Taking place in the ASTO Museum in a begotten part of Lincoln Heights, the unveiling immediately enveloped the audience into the Masque world – a dark, delicate, and hauntingly beautiful place filled with furtive, sidelong glances, [...]

Ahh, the Art of Bleeding. What a crazy, chaotic vaguely hospital-themed, vaguely mad scientist-themed hot mess of a show. They’ve incorporated nearly everything under the sun into their show, most notably Abram the Safety Ape – always looking out for your safety! But now, the Art of Bleeding show goes without that insolent robot, silly [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Spilt Society’s first multimedia art show last night was easily one of the most conceptually fulfilling shows I’ve seen in a long, long time. The idea behind the show was to track the creative process from the point of conception to the finished work. Causecast donated the space – an interesting multi-room affair built to [...]

Ah, the Garden of Earthly Delights on Saturday night.
