TIP: you can find events and other things to do near you - you'll find neighborhood and regional calendar links at the bottom of this and all other Eye Spy LA web pages.
If you prefer to consult the charts before you go anywhere, Cici Psy-Chic picks a few events that will align with your sign in each week's Eyestrology Event Forecast.
Happy Weekend! --Andrea Kirk (editor@eyespyla.com)
PS: Check out Eye Spy LA on Facebook for some fun during the week: We'll be posting additional photos, comments and so forth that we don't post here. Plus it is a chance for you to participate with us as we continue to explore all things fun, odd, quirky about our great city (okay sometimes not so great) that we find and love along the way.
