Saturday
Check out a great night music at The Smell in downtown. Including the Nintendo “NES” cover band the Miniboses, along with New Wave Indie rockers Totally Radd!! Also taking the stage, Fatigo and Bossk. Cost and start time… unknown. Probably 10 bucks and 9pm.
If music ain’t your bag, then head over to the Artwalk 2008 presented by LACMA Muse. From 12-8pm, experience more than forty art galleries and exhibition spaces in the mid-Wilshire area through a self-guided tour. Free Holly Trolley shuttle service available to ArtWalk participants, compliments of Councilmen Tom LaBonge & Jack Weiss.
