Do It. LA County Fair.

Those interested in seeing some horse racing, eating heart-stoppingly-delicious food, and checking out some animals have 19 days to head over to the Los Angeles County Fair, which will be wrapping up Oct. 3.

Among the attractions at the fair are The Wine & Spirits Marketplace, The Bark Park where talented dogs put on performances, a carnival, circus, a flower and garden pavilion, and an exhibit of Our Body: The Universe Within which has actual human bodies on display.

Also, OK Go is scheduled to be performing at the fair on its final day, Oct. 3.

If you plan on attending on a Friday, admission is free if you bring five cans of food for Ralph's food drive. Regular admission for those 13 and over is $12 on weekdays, and $17 on weekends.

The LA County Fair is at the Fairplex in Pomona at 1101 W. McKinley Ave.

Do It. OK Go Video Release Party at LACMA.

As far as self-marketing goes, OK Go's got to be the smartest band around. It's been years since anyone's witnessed a full music video on MTV, but OK Go has almost single-handedly kept the idea and essence of the music video alive, thanks to a little fun and a LOT of creativity.

And 'here they go again.' OK Go teamed up with Synn Labs and director James Frost for the new clip for "This Too Shall Pass," which literally throws the band into a crazy Rube Goldberg machine located inside a huge abandoned warehouse in Echo Park. Fun and overall mind-blows ensue.

But the fun doesn't stop there! OK Go is celebrating the release of the video with a little philanthropy in mind. They'll be on hand at LACMA this Friday for a special video release event, where bassist Tim Norwind will DJ, the new video will be screened followed by a Q&A with the band, pieces from the Rube Goldberg set will be on display, AND the band will play a rare acoustic set. There are also apparently 'photo opportunities' and a cash bar. The catch: you have to be a LACMA member to attend, but if you are one, it's only $25. Plus, it obviously all goes to a good cause (LACMA's Muse program specifically, which supports young artists).

Either way, you can still go viral and watch the video, which hey, we can embed here (thanks to frontman Damien Kulash, apparently):


Applause, indeed.
