The Red Line to the LA Art Scene

I predict that with the way red Line MTA car are being packed like cattle that there will be  bad crash soon and many people will sue the MTA because they are too lazy to put on a fifth car with heavy summer crowds.

NOVEMBER 4th Los Angeles will be awash with scavengers, but in a good way.

The L.A. Scavenger Hunt will return on Saturday, December 4th. For those that don’t know about this event, it’s an all day scavenger hunt that covers the greater Los Angeles area. The L.A. Scavenger Hunt ties in as a material goods drive for the Union Rescue Mission and the L.A. Food Bank. It is important to us that event serves as a good cause but is also a great time for everybody participating.

The Grand Prize for the Hunt is $2,500 flight credit to Barcelona plus 3 nights hotel with 4 passes to attend one of the best music festivals in the world, Primavera Sound, which takes place in May of 2011.

We’re also doing a raffle for a 4 pack of tickets to see Weezer perform Pinkerton on November 27th for those that sign up in advance for the Scavenger Hunt.

We will be adding more prizes every Tuesday until the event.

Please check “INFO” of this site to learn how to be a part of the Hunt. Only $10 per person but right now we are offering an early bird special of $5 per person. This will go fast so take advantage of it.

The”TRON: Legacy” fever can abate with an activity that makes a social outing of a classic tech movie fetish. (Notice how the word nerd did not enter that statement?) Culver City’s Royal/T will offer a six-week official pop-up shop for the upcoming Disney film sequel with Jeff Bridges.

Available gear will include the accessories that serve as conversational art when placed on the dining room table, or a titanium plinth, whichever you happen to have liberated from your decorator’s garage. Retail gets include men’s apparel and collectible artwork.

The pop-up shop will run from Nov. 19 to Dec. 23, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.  Happens at 8910 Washington Boulevard in the City of Culvers. This retail toehold makes sure Disney hasn’t missed one iota of commercial square footage in time for the priced to own holiday season. But Tronners don’t care.

Get the full schedule of events over on Disney Living and don’t miss the story on the film’s wild technology. Tronners can get to know the names of those scary robot thingies and tech out further at the excellent Brand X story. The Facebook for that cool stuff, (including one of those neat vibing frisbees) is also joinable.
