FRIDAY REBIRTH
The Palladium Post-Facelift
It's had Frank Sinatra, the Ramones and Morrissey grace its stage, but the Hollywood Palladium was in
dire need of some housecleaning (last year Moz had to cancel shows due to leaky pipes). Tomorrow, the Roots
and Gym Class Heroes help re-christen the legendary spot. You should too.
411: $34, Oct 17, 8pm, Hollywood Palladium, 6215 Sunset Blvd (at Argyle), Hollywood, tickets here |

SATURDAY RUNWAY
Forget that other Fashion Week. BOXeight Studios, which stole some big names last year, is back at it
again with four days of shows. Check out Martin Martin's minimalism on Saturday and Freddie Rojas' smart
streetwear Sunday. Your ticket stub doubles as entrance to the after-parties...
411: Oct 16-19, BOXeight Studios, 1446 E. Washington Blvd (between Central and Alameda), Downtown, 310-266-0076, buy tickets here |

MONDAY BEERFEST
De-Luxe Oktoberfest
You love the brats and beer part of Oktoberfest, but you draw a line at the oompah bands. The Luxe Lounge
provides more tolerable surroundings (read: chic) to overindulge yourself with their special German-themed
menu. There'll be enough bratwurst, bockwurst, knackwurst and German suds to keep you sated until next
October.
411: Oct 20-25, Luxe Lounge at Luxe Hotel, 11461 Sunset Blvd (at Church), Brentwood, 310-476-6571 |

TUESDAY KAUFMAN
Synecdoche Screening
Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York—starring Philip Seymour
Hoffman and your other favorite indie actors—debuts next Friday. But it's been four long years since
Eternal Sunshine, so artsy group Flux is giving you a free sneak peek. Be sure to say thank
you.
411: Oct 21, 8pm, The Montalbán, 1615 Vine St (at Hollywood Blvd), Hollywood, 323-483-0089, RSVP here |
