Now through Nov 22 – The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D at the El Capitan!

The Nightmare Before Christmas tells the tale of Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, where all things that go bump in the night live out the entire year in preparation for that night of spooks and shrieks.

Oct 18 – Santa Barbara Beer Festival
(12 – 4pm) Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is just a short, 90 min drive from LA and it should be a beautiful weekend for the drive up the 101. For just $30, you’ll get a glass and a chance to make the rounds between the best brewers in the west during a gorgeous afternoon of unlimited beer tasting. And the best part–well, besides the beer, of course–is the fact that you’ll be helping two local Santa Barbara nonprofits while you have a blast. For more info check out their web site.
