Invitation: LA Premiere of 180 South

A couple of months ago I had the unreal pleasure of seeing 180 South at its premiere at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. Now, Angelenos, y'all can see this amazing film too. It's premiering in LA next Tuesday and you're officially invited. Well, this blog post is just about as official as it's gonna get.

$15 will get you into the screening, the Q&A with the illustrious filmmaking and jetsetting Malloys and adventurer and star of the doc, Jeff Johnson, and a musical performance by an artist from the film's rad soundtrack (which includes the likes of The Shins, Modest Mouse and Jack Johnson).

See you next Tuesday friends.

art in LA: Alison Blickle at Bergamot Station.

Last weekend we took a tour through Bergamot Station, the amazing enclave of galleries and art spaces in Santa Monica. We had gone for the show at the Mark Moore Gallery, but stumbled upon the opening at the Richard Heller Gallery, where Alison Blickle was showing. Incredible.

The show will be up through March 13, 2010.

Do Good: Blogger Beach Cleanup on Saturday

I'm giving you a pretty big heads up on this event as it's one you won't want to miss. So mark your calendars early (in pen, not pencil).

A bunch of LA's coolest bloggers are getting together on Saturday afternoon for a 20 minute beach cleanup, followed by an indefinitely long and fun cocktail meets mingling session.

There are multiple reasons why it would be a good idea for you to go. Here are just a couple...

1. It's good for the environment. That was obvious, now wasn't it?

2. You can meet some pretty rad bloggers including my buddies Sarah of Pink Cloud and Lauren and Tracy of Your Daily Thread, as well as Caroline of Caroline on Crack, Zach Behrens of LAist, and more.

3. The first 70 volunteers to show up get giveaways. Who doens't like free stuff? (That's not retorical. I'd really like to know.)

4. Some cool partners are offering prizes for drawings. And everyone likes to get lucky. Or feel that there's the potential to get lucky. And some people, of course, like to fix drawings, but I hear those people aren't invited.

5. It's only 20 minutes of cleaning. And I know you've got 20 minutes to spare. Cause, let's face it, you're just not that important.

When: October 24, 2009. Meet at 4 pm; cleanup begins 4:20 pm; more fun ensues 4:40 until ?

Where: Santa Monica Beach at Ocean Park, between lifeguard stations 26 and 27. (map and green travel directions)
