Ladies & Gents, Start Your Flugtags! – Los Angeles
The Red Bull Flugtag has lived in infamy for years now, mainly as one of the most literal translations of a marketing line ever. Red Bull celebrates years and years of giving you wings by allowing you to give something wings and fly it off the 30-ft high flight deck, straight into the waters below. [...]
Zombies are Prettier in Whittier – Los Angeles
Los Angeles has long been home to some of the strangest, most creative, and wildest bar crawls this side of the San Andreas Fault Line. From the legendary Bunny Hop of Aught-Five to the bleary-eyed Christmas cheer of Santa Con, Los Angeles bar crawls tend to go down in the annals of underground city legend. [...]
Flash! Bang! Lightening In A Bottle!

Fire, electro, dancing, hoopers, magic – Lightening in a Bottle has it all! If you’ve never experienced Burning Man before, take the Lightening in a Bottle baby step [...]
It’s Chinese New Year Time!
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 [...]
Rachel Rosenthal’s at It Again!
Interdisciplinary artist Rachel Rosenthal will appear at Samuel French’s Hollywood location on Saturday, January 23, from 2:00 to 4:00pm to sign copies of her new book. Her long awaited book, The DbD Experience: Chance Knows What It’s Doing!, just came out last month through Routledge. Samuel French is Los Angeles’ largest theater and film bookstore. [...]
Area 33 NYE was…Cozy!
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
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 [...]
Santa Con 2009 is HERE!!!
SantaCon 2009 is here people! Dec. 12, 2009 is your one and only chance to rally around town with a bunch of other people dressed up like Santa, or their own interpretation thereof. Did I mention that it’s a massive bar crawl? So, make that hundreds of DRUNK Santas gallivanting around LA all day long. [...]
Luminosity by Sean Sobczak
See what downtown LA is talking about: A one-of -a kind Sculpture Show – LUMINOSITY – featuring the illuminated works of Sean Sobczak! It was born at Burning Man – and evolved into a spectacular art form! This show features new sophisticated and delicate works, and also the amazing fantastical creatures that have made this [...]
Catch the Lucent Dossier Experience
Lucent Dossier is another group born from the dust of Burning Man, like Cirque Berzerk, the Phoenix Projekt, Machina Candeo, the Mutaytor, and DMT. Each group brought their own party to the stage, each reveled in a vice that was uniquely theirs for the pleasure and awe of the audience – Cirque Berzerk had its [...]
It’s Decompression Time!
Even if you never compressed, it’s time to decompress. From all I’ve heard, September was an all out piece of crap for everyone. Generally, LA Decom is only heard about in the local Burning Man circles, but I think it’s appropriate to spread the word to everyone. There’s no better way to recover from the [...]
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 [...]
Cirque Berzerk Takes You Down…
Down into the world of the macabre, down into a seductive world meant to both delight and strike a delicious fear in all of your senses. Remember when you read Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes and you dreamed of the circus that would come and take you away so you’d never have to [...]
