I really can never
say enough about the plethora of great music and concerts that we have
available to us here in Los Angeles. We're oh so lucky to have bands
consistently play our venues, and we're lucky to have a number of unique
and fun opportunities to find the next slew of up-and-coming bands.<br />
<br />The latest example: <a href="http://culturecollide.com/" target="_blank">Filter Magazine's Culture Collide Festival</a>.
In its third year, the event is going stronger than ever, getting 25
notable bands from all over the world to come and represent their home
countries. On the homefront here in the U.S., we've got the likes of Of
Montreal, Zola Jesus, Diiv; there are bands like the Wombats and Patrick
Wolf repping the U.K.; there's even John Talabot for Spain and Bondo de
Role for Brazil.<br />
<br />They're all taking over the eastside for four days this weekend --
and I bet you can't even believe that the entire weekend, all shows for
all four days, will only cost you $20. One Andrew Jackson! <a href="http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=4502845&pl=" target="_blank">Spend it well</a>.<br />
<br /><i>Filter Magazine's Culture Collide Festival takes place Oct 4-7 in various locations all over the eastside of L.A. Get more info <a href="http://culturecollide.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</i><b><br />

One of my
favorite summertime events is the Barnsdall Park wine tastings on
Fridays, where Silver Lake Wine takes over the Los Feliz park to offer
tastings of wines worthy of the beautiful view. Thankfully, although the
summer is coming to its end, the fun doesn't have to stop.<br /><br />That's because the wine tastings will continue into the fall -- and <a href="http://www.barnsdall.org/events-2/outdoor-movies/">will now have movie screenings too</a>.
So you can cozy up under a blanket to watch a fun old movie under the
stars, and still enjoy the wonderful offerings of Silver Lake Wine. This
week, there's the classic comedy <i>Fletch</i>; next week, a personal fave: <i>Edward Scissorhands</i>. So don't be too bummed about summer leaving us, you've still got a chance to be outside and enjoy this California weather.<br /><br /><i><a href="http://www.barnsdall.org/events-2/outdoor-movies/">Outdoor Movies at Barnsdall Park</a>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've already extolled all the wonderful virtues of </span><a href="http://thebeatofyounglosangeles.blogspot.com/2012/06/beat-of-week-cinespia-at-hollywood.html" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">a Cinespia screening in the summer</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">, but this one is definitely on a level of its own. It's
what happens when you combine the super-cinema-powers of Cinespia and
Cinefamily, offering something so truly fun and unique and reminds you
why you live in a great city like Los Angeles.</span><br /><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br />
Kicking off Cinefamily's annual <a href="http://www.cinefamily.org/films/everything-is-festival-2012">Everything is Festival</a>, this <a href="http://www.cinefamily.org/films/everything-is-festival-2012/#opening-party-cinespia-summer-camp-summer-camp-allnighter-feat-wet-hot-american-summer">all-nighter in the cemetery</a> features one of my all-time favorite films, <i>Wet Hot American Summer</i>.
But did you catch that? It's an all-nighter. In a cemetery. So the fun
only begins with that summer classic. You'll also get screenings of the
‘80s horror film <em>Sleepaway Camp</em>, and <em>Little Darlings, </em>which
stars Tatum O'Neal. Expect other fun movie mashups and highlights, plus
DJs and even a photobooth. Bring a picnic and friends, and you won't
even notice the night fly by you. And let me tell you, there's nothing
quite like sunrise in Hollywood Forever.<br />
<br />
Get in on the fun by reserving tickets <a href="http://cinespia.ticketfly.com/event/146439">here</a> (only $10!).<br />

icy delights. There'll also be Singha beer and wine and tequila
tastings on site as well.<br /><br />Suffice it to say, the LA Street Food

Rose Bowl, so get your all-inclusive tickets for $45 <a href="http://lasff2012.eventbrite.com/">here</a>. (or go VIP for just $65) Check out all the detail here, and happy eating!<br /><i><br />

exhibition -- <a href="http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/">Who Shot Rock & Roll</a>, the first major museum exhibition of rock music photography -- for <a href="http://www.kcrw.com/events/who-shot-rock-roll">a series of outdoors concerts</a>.
Not only will you get to check out a fun, very L.A.-esque exhibit
featuring works from a number of influential photographers -- Anton
Corbijn, Dennis Hopper, Richard Kern, David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz,
Laura Levine, Ryan
McGinley, Mark Seliger, to name a few -- but KCRW has also rounded up
some great musicians to bring the rock.<br />
<br />
First up this Saturday is none other than Moby (with a DJ set by Morning
Becomes Eclectic's Jason Bentley). Then there's Portugal. The Man next
Saturday, celebrating the station's release of its “T. Rex vs. KCRW
Soundclash” remix EP. And finally, on Aug. 4th, it's L.A.'s very own
Band of Skulls and Raphael Saadiq, celebrating songs of Bob Dylan. Plus:
It's all free. Just be sure to <a href="http://www.kcrw.com/events/who-shot-rock-roll">RSVP</a> and arrive early!<br />
<br />
Who said museums aren't cool?<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://www.annenbergspaceforphotography.org/">Who Shot Rock & Roll</a>
is being shown until Oct. 7 at the Annenberg Space for Photography,
located at 2000 Avenue of the Stars in Century City. For more

<i>L.A. Weekly</i> may have recently lost its foodie guru, Jonathan Gold, but
that doesn't mean it's giving up on the parties. Take note: it's <a href="http://www.laweekly.com/microsites/pancake-breakfast/">2nd Annual Pancake Breakfast</a>. Does it get any better than a good excuse to indulge in the best meal of the day with some of L.A.'s best chefs? (Answer: No.)<br />
<br />
The big soiree won't be happening until August 5, but you'll be smart to
get your tickets once they go on sale today. And you should probably
just start dieting now, because the event's lined up more than 25
different restaurants to offer their own tasty versions of the old
breakfast standby, including: Salt's Cure, Langer's, The Nickel
Diner, LA MILL, BLD, Tiara Café, Fred 62, Auntie
Em's, The Hungry Cat and Square One.<br />
<br />
What a great way to start off your morning.<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
It's back! You know summer's just about in full swing when <a href="http://www.cinespia.org/" target="_blank">Cinespia</a>,
the extremely popular and quintessentially L.A. film series, returns,
giving Angelenos the perfect excuse to day-drink and parade in what's
become our excuse for a park. As always, the <a href="http://www.cinespia.org/calendar/" target="_blank">line-up of movies</a> offers something for everyone -- having already screened <i>Lolita, </i><i>Nightmare on Elm Street </i>and <i>Cheech and Chong</i>. On the slate for this weekend: the classic Jack Nicholson flick <i>Chinatown.</i><br />
<br />Cinespia's now offering presale tickets for $10 in case you're
worried about sold out screenings, but most should still be able to get
in by buying tickets at the door. Nevertheless, remember to show up
early, bring lots of snacks, and a blanket for when the sun finally goes
down. Happy almost-summer!<br />
<i><br />Cinespia screenings take place on Saturdays this summer at 9pm at
the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, located at 6000 Santa Monica Blvd. in
Hollywood. Check out the list of films <a href="http://www.cinespia.org/calendar/" target="_blank">here</a>.</i><br />

Pasadena isn't usually known for being on the cutting edge of music and
culture, what with its cleanly manicured neighborhoods and chain store
shopping avenues, but <a href="http://www.makemusicpasadena.org/">Make Music Pasadena</a>
may change a lot of minds. For this one weekend in the summer, the city
lets its hair loose to offer a totally rocking music fest featuring a
number of exciting and up-and-coming bands and musicians -- and it's all
for free. This year, you can check out the likes of artists like
Grimes, Cults, Dam Funk, Dengue Fever, Grouplove and Milo Greene, among a
slew of others. You're bound to discover someone new along the stages,
and did I mention that it's all free?<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://www.makemusicpasadena.org/">Make Music Pasadena</a> takes place this Saturday, June 16 from 11am-11pm all over downtown Pasadena. Check out the lineup <a href="http://www.makemusicpasadena.org/program.html">here</a>, which has specific addresses for the various stages.</i><br />

It's really no surprise
that Los Angeles -- Hollywood, in and of itself -- boasts an excellent
film festival every year, but this year in particular is rounding up to
be a great one. The <a href="http://www.lafilmfest.com/" target="_blank">L.A. Film Fest</a>
returns to L.A. Live this year from June 14-24, and is offering a great
selection of both major titles -- like Woody Allen's latest, <i>To Rome with Love</i> and the Channing Tatum stripper [bio-]comedy <i>Magic Mike</i> -- and promising indie films like the critic and audience fave <i>Beasts of the the Southern Wild</i> and documentaries <i>The House I Live In </i>and <i>Queen of Versailles.</i> These are the films everyone's going to be talking about this summer, and this is your chance to see them now.<br />
<br />You can make sure you're on top of the conversation by grabbing <a href="http://filmguide.lafilmfest.com/tixSYS/2012/passes.php" target="_blank">a festival pass</a> starting at $200, or catch <a href="http://filmguide.lafilmfest.com/tixSYS/2012/filmguide/" target="_blank">individual screenings</a>
for about $13 each. If you want to do the latter though, you'll have to
act quickly -- some screenings are already sold out (there are standby
lists, but don't count on it!). Check out the schedule of films <a href="http://filmguide.lafilmfest.com/tixSYS/2012/filmguide/" target="_blank">here</a>, and get started on your summer movie season now.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Hester Street Fair is a huge outdoors market that's become a
prime attraction on the weekends, offering lots of vintage and
contemporary jewelry, clothing, art among food and entertainment. Sounds
fun, right? The only problem? It's in New York City, on the Lower East
Side.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" />
<br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Until now. </span><a href="http://www.hesterstreetfair.com/hollywood" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" target="_blank">Hester's finally headed west</a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">,
and will be taking over Hollywood this summer. On four separate
Saturdays -- beginning this weekend -- Angelenos will finally get a peek
at what the hype's all about. First up is this Saturday's Bite Size
Food and Craft Festival, with booths from L.A. restaurants and food
trucks showing off their stuff in bite-sized goods. Then in July,
there's the Hollywood Night Market, which will, appropriately, take
place a little later at night and focus on a more intimate shopping
experience among the booths. In August, there'll be the Indie Design
Market, where independent goods will get a spotlight. And the last
weekend in August will be the closing event, the Good Night Hollywood
