The RSVP Line (Weekend Edition): MOD + Tarfest + Abbot Kinney Festival

It's the mother f+cking weekend. Do you know where you'll be spending it?

SATURDAY, September 26

* TARFEST is back this weekend and bringing culture to Mid-Wilshire. This year, the fest's Saturday musical programming is curated by none other than our buddy Mark Sovel of Indie 103.1 fame. Local artists--The Deadly Syndrome, The Polyamorous Affair and others will rock out at the El Rey. Despite the lack of actual tar at this fest, we're fans. Visit Tarfest for details.

* The Love Movement is a group of artists that creates some of the sickest art I'm proud to hang on my very own walls. Go pick up your own TLM piece this Saturday at THE HUMAN PYRAMIDS ARTIST COLLECTIVE at Ghettogloss Gallery. They'll be showing with a bunch of other awesome artists. Making the world prettier one painting at a time. Go support artists.

* Also on Saturday, you can brave the Grove for panels with some of LA's most premiere design and fashion peeps at MOD: MATTERS ON DESIGN. I'm not advocating a trip to the Grove. I'm just telling you it's an option.

SUNDAY, September 27
