As a real live adult I am what you call “sans parents” and can do whatever the hell I want to on Friday nights and this Friday night in particular happens to be bursting out of it’s dress of activities with copious amounts of awesomeness. Introducing THE FRIDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN:
LOCAL SCENE @ THE LA ZOO:
A number of local bands are playing at the LA ZOO in Griffith Park tonight including two of my favorites, The Lonely Wild and Voxhaul Broadcast ("Fact or Fiction"). Not to mention the fact that this is at the fricking ZOO!! It’s at the ZOO! They’ll probably let you have a monkey on your shoulder while you skank around and he’ll probably high-five you and clap for you! Either that or he’ll kill you.

TIMELESS: J Rocc Live VJ Set at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center
VJ performances have been increasing like crazy over the last few years, in part by the increased availability of the equipment and software but also because of the unmistakable talents of VJ’s like Peanut Butter Wolf and J Rocc whose TIMELESS performance at SXSW this year was so loudly praised they’ve arranged for him to do another set here at LA’s JACCC Plaza. TIMELESS is a collection of three concert films featuring the music of legendary hip-hop influences like J Dilla, Mulatu Astatke, and Arthur Verocai that J Rocc will be VJing live.

ROLLING ROADSHOW: Jackie Brown showing at The Proud Bird
Levi’s has been putting on this event called the Rolling Roadshow where they take iconic films and play them in the setting of the actual film. ROBOCOP will be playing in Detroit, THE BLUES BROTHERS in Joliet, Illinois, ROCKY in Philly, and tonight JACKIE BROWN is playing at The Proud Bird next to one of LAX’s approach runways where you can watch planes taking off and Pam Grier kicking some ass all at the same time. Some of the actors and Tarantino are rumored to be there. Do you see what I’m dealing with here? It’s free so it will likely be crowded as hell, but no doubt worth the effort.

ABBOT KINNEY FIRST FRIDAYS: Venice
This is best to save for the late night event. The crowds at Abbot Kinney’s First Friday event keeps getting worse and worse, but it is the best place for some greasy foodtruck food and if you can find your way into a few of the parties that are giving out free wine and beer it’ll be a good night.
