Friday Freebie

This one comes with a bonus: fighting injustice! Join the thousands who are calling for a repeal of Prop 8 which bans gay marriage in California by attending one of tonight's rallies. Let's hope things remain peaceful tonight and throughout this whole process. I found this info here. Not trying to be preachy; religion should have nothing to do with it. It's a matter of civil rights and inequality really. And the last time I checked Americans were pretty big on Civil Rights, no?

Louise Bourgeois

Another great exhibition is coming to town! Louise Bourgeois will be exhibiting at MOCA from October 26th through January 25th, 2009. This exhibition is the first major showing of Bourgeois’s work in more than a decade. Her work is simultaneously engaging in both modern and traditional techniques and explores various themes in a range of styles. This one is a must-see I think. Ooh! And members of MOCA get invited to a special opening gala this Saturday night, I'll definitely be there.

Vanity Fair Portraits

Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913–2008 will be showing at LACMA starting October 26th through March 1, 2009. This is the first major exhibition to bring together the magazine's archive of rare vintage prints with its contemporary photographs. These look gorgeous! I am so excited to see these, I love a good exhibition and this one looks promising.

Tonight, tonight...

My supercool sister is taking me out on a a date. Where you ask? To see Julieta Venegas at the Nokia Theatre! I am oh so excited, wouldn't you be? She's so awesome. This is one of my favorite songs by her its from the film Amores Perros.

Beautiful Losers

Beautiful Losers will be screening at the Landmark Nuart 8.29.08 - 9.08.08. The film documents
the early 90's DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of surf, skateboarding, punk, hip hop & graffiti.
I love the message behind it of Make Something, Share Something. Muuust...go...see....screening....
