Do It. Tron at Royal/T.

Time to get your fanboy on, because it is officially time to get excited for Tron: Legacy. And that's thanks to the fact that the Tron pop-up shop opens at Royal/T today.

It's the first ever official Disney Tron pop-up shop and restaurant, so get ready for super cool exclusives. For the shop part, think official logo tees and merchandise on top of designer collaborations like Hurley jackets, Oakley sunglasses and these crazy heels. For the restaurant part, get ready to dig into awesome-sounding dishes like the “Reco” Burger with buffalo sauce, chipotle aioli and fried onion rings or an “Identity Disk” white chocolate lava cake and blueberry sauce. There's even something called a Tron: Legacy High Tea, which costs $25?

But even if you don't indulge, seeing all the limited-edition wares will be fun enough, and will surely get you into the right Tron mood. End of line!

The Tron: Legacy pop-up shop will be open until Dec. 23 at Royal/T, located at 8910 Washington Blvd. in Culver City. Tron: Legacy opens on Dec. 17.

Do It. The Warholian at Royal/T.

Part of the lasting allure of Andy Warhol were those infamous Factory parties -- who wouldn't want to be part of that scene, hang out with Twiggy and cool artists?

Our generation might finally get a chance, sort of. Royal/T Cafe, better known for being L.A.'s first Japanese-style cosplay cafe, is going mod. Starting tonight, the art space will feature Warholian, a full-on Warhol-obsessed extravaganza of an exhibit including works inspired by him and created by amazing contemporary artists like Takashi Murakami, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst and Richard Prince, as well as actual Warhol originals like "Dollar Sign" and "Marilyn." Whoa.

And to kick it all off? A Factory-inspired opening party, of course. There'll be DJ sets by Shepard Fairey and David J (of Bauhaus), and "dark sunglasses, photobooth, pop art, paparazzi, debauchery..." and so the list on the invite goes on. (And Barbie?) Get ready for your 15 minutes.

The Warholian opening party is tonight at 8pm, located at Royal/T at 8910 Washington Blvd. in Culver City. RSVP to rvsp@royal-t.org with the subject "glitter." The Warholian exhibit will be at Royal/T until Jan. 31, 2011.
