THIS WEEK IN L.A.
By Eye Spy LA Editor


The Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations wrap up this weekend with the Annual Lantern Festival at El Pueblo. Weather was spectacular for the Firecracker Run last weekend, not so sure the Lantern Festival will fare as well.

If you need to duck for cover, there are numerous good plays, comedy shows and concerts. Film buff's: Kursawa's masterpiece RAN is now showing at the Nuart.

GOOD DEAL: Amoeba's monthly charity auction on Saturday has a cornucopia of items you never knew you HAD to have.  Bid on rare and collectible memorabilia and wacky off-beat promotional items.  Who could possibly resist an Obama Aloha Bobblehead Doll? Proceeds benefit DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS and Haiti Earthquake relief.  

More relief for Haiti is on the way with proceeds from the Rise From The Rubble concert in Inglewood. Hip hop, jazz, gospel, spoken word, comedy, and dance.

There was a whole lotta ballet last week and Kelly Hargraves tells us all about it: "Last Week in Dance." M.R. Hunter found a lot to like in her review of: The Ballad of Emmett Till now playing at the Fountain Theatre in Hollywood. And not so much to like at Broads The Musical in NoHo.

Every day you'll find Eye Spy LA recommendations and other events and activities on the Eye Spy LA Calendar.
