Weekend on board.
We can’t just tell you dress shoes are better when they’re handmade; when a craftsman had to painstakingly cut, shape and burnish each piece of leather; when he had to gingerly hammer in the sole that took days to create. That’s one of those things you just have to feel to believe.
Santa Monica Yacht Club just got into the happy hour game. So now you’ll come in and find specials on daiquiris and oysters and Andrew Kirschner’s new fontal-topped cheeseburger. Then you’ll probably do something crazy like sit there and enjoy them.
See you at Impossible Pop-Up Shop’s launch party tomorrow. It’ll be packed with instant cameras and film, and it’s the only place where you can get the I-1 featuring Polaroid’s old format. Show up, have a beer, see some art and get an 8-by-10 portrait taken. Then Instagram it for no reason.
Revolutionario Tacos was recently named “LA’s Favorite Taco” of 2016. So they’re revolting by making burgers. They’ll serve six featuring grass-fed beef and halal lamb, plus a signature burger with chicken schmaltz onions. Get them before they run out. Otherwise, tacos.
There’s going to be a massive dance party in honor of Prince and Michael Jackson at Downtown’s Resident on Saturday. It’s already sold out, but there will be 50 tickets available at the door. So maybe show up early. So maybe show up really early.
You’ve been meaning to take up falconry in your leisure time. Well, now you can learn the basics on Catalina. You’ll wear one of those big gloves, watch soaring falcons hunt and have a bird of prey take off and land on your arm. It’s a good look for you. Probably.
