weekend.

Hello everyone, and welcome back.

Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am. There are so many cool things happening, I just had to share them with you. So, let's not waste any time and get right to it. Hope to see you!

FRIDAY

The Seth Bogart Show closes. What is The Seth Bogart Show, you say? Well, I hear it's a technicolor, plastic fantasyland of celeb impersonators, imagined products, over-the-top kitsch and performance. Curate LA summed it up as part John Waters, part Pee Wee's Playhouse, part Ru Paul and part Henri Matisse. That adds up to "incredible," and we all need to go. 356 S. Mission Road, 8-11 p.m.

Machine Project presents "Return to ForeverHouse," an interactive performance space where visitors begin in a fur-lined waiting room and move into a crazy-ass house, interacting with a cast of characters, including "scene teens, vampiric furniture and a simple-minded, suspicious, but potentially helpful neighbor." Fascinating. Tickets are $10 and $12. Get all the information here.

Also on Friday night, Slow Culture presents "Sky's Eyes," a solo exhibition by artist Mel Kadel. Her colorful paintings are like psychedelic children's stories. Get all the details here.

FRIDAY - SUNDAY

Live Thru This Kurt Cobain Haunted Heck. A haunted house with live performers acting out an alternative history to one of music's most troubling tragedies? I can't think of a better way to kick off Shocktober. 237 N. San Fernando Road, Lincoln Heights, 9 pm - midnight. More details here.

Gah! Jesus.

SATURDAY

The Lodge in Hollywood hosts "The Mini Show" featuring scaled-down works of art that examine the theme of memory. Get all the details here.

The always-delightful Gabba Gallery presents "Four Views," showing the work of four artists, including Jeff Gillette, who was featured in Banksy's Dismaland. The hours of the opening say 7 p.m.-11 a.m., but I have the feeling it's a typo. Let's be safe and say it ends at 11 p.m.

And finally, Blum and Poe in Culver City hosts Vermont's Bread and Puppet Theatre. The famed troupe rarely makes it out to the West Coast, and they'll be presenting FIRE, the play they originally performed when the company began 50 years ago. Exciting stuff!

Lots to do this weekend. No sitting around and binge watching anything. I'll be back soon with more to love. xoL
