THURSDAY SALE-ING
Not too long after
arriving in Los Angeles, the good people at Steven Alan now bring you their first LA sample sale, with
up to 75 percent off their button-downs, jeans and Generic Man sneakers. Seems they'll be good neighbors.
411: Nov 6-9 (Thu-Fri 8:30am-8pm, Sat 11am-7pm, Sun 11am-5pm), 1937 1/2 Hillhurst Ave (N. of Franklin), Los Feliz |

FRIDAY BLADES OF GLORY
Lately your trips to the beach have been missing a little something—like an ice-skating rink. Starting
Friday, Santa Monica has its own Rockefeller Center...except here you'll still need some SPF.
411: Nov 7-Jan 19, 10am-10pm daily, 1324 5th St (between Santa Monica and Arizona), Santa Monica |
|
FRIDAY ALL-NIGHTER
So while you check out goods from Band of Outsiders and Confederacy
at this 24-hour-only shop from the mad geniuses at Paper magazine, you'll also see 24 bands
(one for every hour). Luckily, your endurance has never been in question.
411: Opens Nov 7 at 6pm, closes Nov 8 at 6pm, 8873 W. Sunset Blvd (at San Vicente), West Hollywood |

SATURDAY SHADOWBOX DANCERS
Next time you're in Newport Beach, you might find yourself drinking a Killer Bee (vodka,
elderflower, yuzu, honey water and a lemon twist) in preparation for the Code Girls. (They're the dancers in
the shadowbox behind the bar.) You've always enjoyed traveling...
411: 4221 Dolphin Striker Way (at Dove), Newport Beach, 949-660-0888 |

SATURDAY BODY COUNT
Attack of the Giant Screen
You've always considered Halloween a state of mind (today you dressed up as Gordon Gekko, just because). So
this series of classic splatterfest double features—anchored by Tremors and Critters
on Saturday—doesn't seem a week late. Nope, not at all.
411: Nov 6-9, Aero Theatre, 1328 Montana Ave (at 14th), Santa Monica, 323-466-3456 |
