Tonight, check out the world premiere of Mia Doi Todd’s video “Open Your Heart“, directed by creative genius Michel Gondry.
Friday, Griffith Park’s Festival of Lights spans a mile long stretch along Crystal Springs Drive. Shuttles run daily from the LA Zoo for those interested in an illuminated stroll.
On Saturday, Santa Monica hosts its 1st ever SANTA Monica Pub Crawl. Join fellow revelers (aka inebriates) all along Wilshire, 3rd Street and the length of Main Street and bring non-perishable food donations for the Westside Food Bank if you want the drink specials! If you’d prefer to keep toasty warm inside, head over to the El Rey Theater for the 3rd annual Christmas Sweater Festival with The Deadly Syndrome, Eskimohunter, The Pity Party and more. All proceeds from the event go to Teen Impact at Children’s Hospital. And for an even cozier setting, the annual Christmas with Bessie party brings together a host of talented Los Angelenos to sing Bessie Smith’s songs in an array of musical styles.
And finally on Sunday, Fugees producer/songwriter, John Forté, headlines at The Roxy with Freddie Gibbs, DJ Skee and Broken Ornaments & Bricks to benefit Babies Behind Bars.
