Weekend Fun 7/31 – 8/2
Friday
Open Mic Night at UCBT – Open mic night only comes around once a month at the UCB theater! There are only 10 spots and it’ll take luck to get your moment in the spotlight (literally, they pick 10 names out of a hat). But it could be fun to catch a free show to kick start your Friday night!
Cost: FREE
Saturday
Candy Land Lolita Tea Party – Lord Licorice, there’s candy everywhere! Royal/T gets transformed into a candy-themed haven this Saturday. Enjoy live music, a Lolita fashion show, raffles, cupcakes & cotton candy, and a LIFE-SIZE CANDY LAND GAME BOARD. Oh yes. There will also be a Candy Land high tea, but you must RSVP for this and it does cost extra. But it is free to attend and partake in the other fun activities!
Cost: FREE (see website for high tea prices)
Scott Warren Acoustic Show - Enjoy a free performance by this talented singer-songwriter at Cinema Bar in Culver City. Cathie, an LA Decostified reader sent us the link to his website and told us about the show. I ended up leaving the site up for over an hour to keep listening to his music in the background (there’s a great selection of songs when you leave up the homepage). Thanks Cathie!
Cost: FREE (but you’ll probably want a soda or a beer)
Robot Chicken On Wheels – I was going to go into a whole dream sequence where you are roller skating with Seth Green but then you trip and fall and get so humiliated. But then it wasn’t that funny because I don’t think people develop crushes on Seth Green. I could be wrong… Anyways, the Robot Chicken on Wheels tour hits Los Angeles (well, Northridge) for one day only this Saturday night. Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, and Matthew Senreich will be there skating along with you and the Gym Class Heroes will be playing a live set at the rink too! Admission is free but we can only imagine this will be extremely popular (have you seen the show? It’s hilaaarious!) so get there early. In fact, buy one of their DVDs and bring it with you and they’ll even let you in an hour early!
Cost: FREE
Sunday
Fallen Fruit’s Public Fruit Jam - Bring some fruit, make some jam, and follow it up by jammin’ the night away! Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
Cost: FREE
Cirque at the Grove - Join The Grove in celebrating 25 years of Cirque Du Soleil all Sunday afternoon (12pm-5pm)! There will be performances from all six Las Vegas Cirque Du Soleil productions, including: Mystère, O, Zumanity, KĀ, The Beatles Love, and Criss Angel Believe. If you haven’t seen any of these shows, or heck even if you have, you should definitely attend this event. It is a real treat that they’ve decided to do these pieces free of charge so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful performances!
Cost: FREE
Mystery Biking & Party - Bring your friends and your bikes for this mystery charity bike ride! There will be stops along the way (Monster & Honest Tea will also be there), prizes, contests, & more! Follow it up with the after-party, where $5 can get you an open bar, live music, and great company.
Cost: FREE or $5 (but remember to RSVP for the party)
