Los Angeles’ climate is such that it allows for barbecues, swimming and shorts and sandals year-round (except for winter mornings, and the two or so weeks in April when it rains). While we all know that summer doesn’t really end until the third week of September, this weekend signifies the end of summer break - meaning that many of us will have to deal with of a lot more traffic on Tuesday morning. So be sure to relax this weekend, feel the sand between your toes, and get out of the house and into the groove as we soon bid adieu to summertime.

By taking in the sounds of indie band Monsters Are Waiting (to be preceded by Justin Warfield and Adam 12 from She Wants Revenge), you will also be showing support for local bands and their ability to come up with original material.
