The national tour to end all national tours finally seduces our fair city. Instead of taking the stage with
an imaginary guitar in hand, competitors here craft intimate performances holding onto
imaginary…well, you know.
411:
$10 ($12 door), June 26, 7:30pm, The Echoplex, 1854
Glendale Blvd, 213-413-8200
And speaking of guitars—Eric Clapton's legendary "Blackie" Fender Stratocaster is the crown
jewel of a vintage exhibition arriving at the Guitar Center this weekend. It's real but you can't touch
it—so sort of the exact opposite of Air Sex.
411:
June 27-28, Guitar Center, 7425
Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, 323-874-1060
For one unprecedented night, Dwell on Design has gotten a legion of the city's famed food trucks
(Barbie's Q, Let's Be Frank, Sprinkles…) to park at the Geffen Contemporary and get you through a
brainy double feature on architecture. Immobile mobile food—genius.
411:
$25 plus food, June 27, 5pm, Geffen Contemporary, 152 N. Central Ave,
Downtown
After a long Saturday night, right yourself inside the Fairmont Miramar with Chorizo and Oyster Po'
Boys and Bacon Waffles a la Mode. And any egg dish can be paired with a pint of brew they'll
just keep refilling—until your hangover brunch requires a hangover dinner.
411:
Sundays, 11am-2pm, 101 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, 310-319-3111
But if you really need to put some miles between you and your Saturday night, head to London…via West
Hollywood. Inside the Palihouse Holloway, they're now bringing out the Roast Beef & Yorkshire
Pudding, the backgammon and the British newspapers. Right, then.
411:
Sundays, 11am-4pm, 8465 Holloway Dr, West Hollywood, 323-656-4020
