THIS WEEK IN L.A. - Entertaining, fun and unusual things to do this week and beyond.


It's Memorial Day weekend this week. Every weekend Arlington West
sets up a memorial by Vetrans for Peace on the north side of the Santa Monica Pier.


JUST FOR FUN: This is Eye Spy LA's 10th anniversary. I've been photographing our city and writing about what's going on around town for more than ten years now and as you might imagine the Eye Spy photo file is quite large.

Do you know L.A. like Eye know L.A.? What is that creature? Get the answer to last week's question HERE...

AS USUAL: You can always find some unusually entertaining alternatives to the local cineplex on our Film page . Prefer a play? Play around on our Theater page. Laugh your head off at a local Comedy Club. Or check our full Entertainment Calendar for other interesting options.





ENTERTAINMENT GOODNESS - Current shows we recommend:

Urban Death at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre in North Hollywood Saturdays 11pm - "Pregnant women and those suffering from heart conditions should probably pass on this immersive sensory experience as total darkness precedes each scene. For everyone else who enjoys things that go bump in the night, you won’t be disappointed..." Read our REVIEW


Trainspotting at the Elephant Theatre in Hollywood - "Aboot fuckin time n aws thit, likesay, director Roger Mathey remoots his belter 2002 production based oan the novel by Scottish punter, Irvine Welsh....you just need to get up off of your ass and see it because it is a night of total licentious enjoyment. Read our REVIEW


Smoke and Mirrors at the Road Theatre in North Hollywood - "The multi-dimensional show touches on a myriad of emotions without any guile and sleekness. It is at times, almost raw, spontaneous and chockfull of unexpected surprises." Read our REVIEW







SCROLL BELOW for all of this week's recommended events and details.
