if you’re including Wed, Vampire Weekend is at the Fillmore on Monday. Pearl Jam/Kings of Leon up in WPB on Wed as well.
Datarock is playing with Ladytron that night as well. I don’t know a whole lot about them, but this video of “Computer Camp Love” is great: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eHTjEPjR3oE
Opening this evening — 30 minutes — at the Art and Clutter Center of Hollywood. Nathan Sawaya’s “Art of the Brick,” featuring amazing sculptures constructed of Leggos.
Pure Imagination was great last night.
Just a little FYI: Pure Imagination at Sweat was AMAZING.
The place was packed, the stories and music were captivating, and Raffa’s chili was mouth-watering vegan goodness. The next one will likely be in late July – don’t miss it!
