August 15th, 2008 Written by: Lindsey Darden· No Comments

WEB LAUNCH

  • Grnappletree Website Launch | Friday, August 15th, 2008 | Free with RSVP | 7:00 pm | Fresh Pressed - Map | A gamut of trippy-graphicked tees and strategically-patterned button downs can only be termed “original” so many times; however, Grnappletree.com dares the consumer to select their threads to accentuate themselves - already original. All the more reason to party! Not only will guests be treated to free drinks and music, but the first thirty to arrive will receive free gift bags. For more info, call (213) 489-2836.

CD RELEASE PARTY

  • Citizen Savant | Friday, August 15th, 2008 | $15.00 at the door, $10.00 with flier | 10:30 pm | The Mint - Map | Contrary to popular belief, there is plenty of talent outside of the mainstream vortex. Indie band Citizen Savant will be displaying the fruits of their labor - their new EP, “The Man Down” - as a testament to that fact. Guests Adrian Vera, Stereo Fox, Jeff Bruckner, The Ghost Lullaby, and The Dropjoy will take the stage throughout the evening.

ART EXHIBIT

  • Loved: Opening Reception | Saturday, August 16, 2008 | 6:00 pm | Free | Lab 101 - Map | Loved will feature the artwork of Trish Grantham, Julianna Swaney, Amy Ruppel, and Keith Obrien - adorable artwork of teeny tiny proportions that will make you go “aww” . . . and then wonder how an expression of such adoration could escape your swearin’-like-a-sailor lips. Runs through September 10th; for more info, call (310) 945-5974.

FILM

  • Forever Hollywood | Sunday, August 17, 2008 | theatre tour @ 10:30 am; film @ 11:40 am | $7.00 | Egyptian Theatre - Map | “Forever Hollywood” - a permanent historical film/attraction at the Egyptian - features actors Robert Redford, Warren Beatty, Salma Hayek, Jeff Bridges, and others’ takes on the industry and the city, with the aim of putting the romance and glamour back into Hollywood as though it never left. For more info, call (323) 461-2020, or for 24-hour info, call (323) 461-FILM.

FESTIVAL

  • Serafemme Queer Women of Color Music Festival | Sunday, August 17, 2008 | $10.00 | 2:00 pm | West Hollywood Park Baseball Field - Map | First of all, check out the website, as it is hella fun and will plot out any events for the weekend outside of Sunday’s festival. Second of all, while you can’t get a more specific group of people together, you can’t get more of a diverse attitude to have extended to just about everyone. For more info, call 1-888-R-YOU-OUT.
