Carbon Lounge- 9300 Venice Blvd Culver City, CA 90232

Carbon Lounge is a fun, local, and energetic bar in Downtown Culver City spinning different music 7-days a week. The vibe was real chill and the music was always poppin’! You could tell the DJ was giving us his best because he was dj’n like it was a Saturday night!

The venue is small but kind of open since it has two entrances. It is really dark too so don’t expect to be able to see much while you’re in there.

What are people saying about Carbon on Yelp?
This place was a nice vibe with music you could really dance to you. The demographic was diverse and I could always love a diverse crowd- Alexis G. Perth Amboy, NJ
I come here when I want a ghetto ass place to get a stiff drink and shake my ass in a dive bar. Drinks have gotten a little pricey but they’re spicy. Appreciate the dicey atmosphere within steps of boujee downtown Culver City. Music late nights and they’re not open until late (9 is late for my old ass). Directly across from in n out on Venice or walk through the alley behind the east side of Main st in Culver City toward Venice Blvd.- Jen A. Culver City, CA
So I came here not knowing what to expect. I usually go to parties and clubs in OC or dance festivals. I’m 47 years old and single guy btw.
To make it short, the minute I got there I was approached by 2 extremely attractive white blonde girls. Unfortunately I found out one of them wasn’t even of legal age. But the other girl was. We danced and drank and all. We exchanged numbers and she actually called me.
This never happened to me in 33 years of going to clubs (yes I did go clubbing and drinking at the age of 14 when I lived in Germany…don’t know how I’m still alive and work for one of the most exciting and innovative companies on the planet lol.)
So yeah… go there. You won’t get disappointed. A LOT OF WHITE GIRLS WHO LIKE MINORITIES GO THERE. So much so that this place has more white chicks than guys lol- Alireza S. Los Angeles, CA
never a cover!

Good Times at Davey Wayne's
2023-04-02 22:30 - 2023-04-03 01:30 | Good Times at Davey Wayne’s, 1611 North El Centro Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, 90028, United States
EVERY SUNDAY – Hollywood
Good Times at Davey Wayne’s in Hollywood presents Strange Hotels, every Sunday night. Featuring 70’s DJ sets, an energetic and charismatic host, and a live performance by Strange Hotels, it’s a whole ass vibe.

Strange Hotels- Indie- Electro Rock Duo
Opening to a buzzing crowd of all ages, cultures, and persuasions–in an eclectic industrial atmosphere complete with burlesque dancers, smoke machines, and incense – the barefoot duo delivered an energetic set of life and synthesized dance sound and know-how-to to keep their audience engaged. Their continuous energetic, driven show resulted in a bumper-to-bumper dance floor as they performed to a packed house of diverse, die-hard hipster fans.

After touring for years as a part of Portland’s iconic touring band The Lower 48, cousins Ben Braden and Nick Sadler formed their indie-electro duo Strange Hotels in early 2018, and within weeks of forming the duo, they had the opportunity to open for Billie Eilish and Finneas at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland. Their songs have also been featured in several TV shows including Shameless, Viceʼs King Of The Road, and Conan O’Brien’s Needs a Friend. They have described Strange Hotels as the most collaborative project they have been a part of and are a sonic blend of dance, R&B, vintage pop, and indie rock. They have taken a very DIY approach to record their songs, recording and producing their music solely on iPads. This allowed them to record in Airbnb’s and apartment studios on the road and, as a result, they released their debut and well-received EP Mixtape in January of 2018. They moved to Los Angles in 2019 and booked a residency at their favorite club, booked other gigs, and wrote a new batch of songs, releasing their second EP, Mixtape II, at the end of 2019. Going through some hard times during the pandemic and shutdowns in the music industry, with things having opened back up, they have been staying busy! They recently released their latest single “Teen Dream Fantasy”, a dreamy hit that strikes a chord of nostalgia with uplifting and energetic production, captivating synth work, and a stellar groove, produced by The Strokes’ producer Gordon Raphael.

1611 North El Centro Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90028

David Wayne Houston, father to Mark and Jonnie Houston, was a blue-collar pool shark who enjoyed late nights in his garage building and fixing things–some of the brothers’ best memories. Known by his friends (and the ladies) as Davey, this 70’s bar is a tribute to him and to all who have lost their dads.

The Museum of Contemporary Art
2023-04-03 | MOCA- Museum Of Contemporary Art, 250 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90012, United States
Barbara Kruger, Untitled (Questions)- DTLA

MOCA has reinstalled the monumental wall work by Los Angeles–based artist Barbara Kruger (b. New York 1945), Untitled (Questions) (1990/2018). The emblematic red, white, and blue artwork was originally commissioned by MOCA in 1989 for the exhibition A Forest of Signs: Art in the Crisis of Representation, and was last installed in 1990 on the south wall of MOCA’s building (now The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA). The work holds an iconic place in the collective memory of Los Angeles’s art community and is considered one of the museum’s curatorial highlights over its forty-year history.

This iteration is installed on the north facade of The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, facing Temple Street and measuring 30 by 191 feet. Asking nine questions including “Who is beyond the law?,” “Who is bought and sold?,” and “Who is free to choose?,” the work points to issues of patriotism, civic engagement, and power relations. In connection with the work, MOCA led a series of voter registration efforts during the 2018 midterms, and will continue these efforts in advance of the 2020 general election.

This project was initiated by MOCA Director Klaus Biesenbach and is organized by MOCA Senior Curator Bennett Simpson.
This installation of Barbara Kruger’s Untitled (Questions) is generously supported by an anonymous donor.

ONE MUSEUM. TWO LOCATIONS- Free Every Thursday

Welcome to The Museum of Contemporary Art. With two distinct venues—MOCA Grand Avenue and The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA—and Michael Heizer’s seminal artwork Double Negative (1969-70) in the Nevada desert, we engage audiences through an ambitious program of exhibitions, educational programs, and publishing.

Welcome to The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles

We are contemporary.
We question and adapt to the changing definitions of art.

We are a museum.
We present, collect, and interpret the art of our time.

We care
for the experience of art, the inevitability of change, the multiplicity of perspectives, the urgency of contemporary expression.

With 2 distinct venues in Los Angeles

MOCA Grand Avenue
250 South Grand Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Architect Arata Isozaki designed MOCA Grand Avenue in 1986 with classical architecture and Los Angeles popular culture in mind. Today this location hosts the museum’s main galleries, Lemonade café, the flagship location of the MOCA Store, and staff offices.

The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA
152 North Central Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90012
A former police car warehouse in L.A.’s Little Tokyo Historic District, renovated by the noted California architect Frank Gehry, The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA (formerly The Temporary Contemporary) opened in 1983. This location offers 40,000 square feet of exhibition space.

and Michael Heizer’s seminal artwork Double Negative (1969-70) in the Nevada desert,
Overton Airport- Mormon Mesa, Overton, Nevada (80 miles from Las Vegas)
1110 Airport Road
Overton, NV 89040
Double Negative was constructed by Michael Heizer in the Nevada desert in 1969 and remains one of the few still extant examples of what are commonly referred to as earthworks, land art, or environmental sculpture. The land art movement first appeared in the late 1960s and served to challenge the location, material, size, and temporal existence of a work of art. Double Negative consists of two long straight trenches, 30 feet wide and 50 feet deep, cut into the “tabletop” of Mormon Mesa, displacing 240,000 tons of desert sandstone. The cuts face each other across an indentation in the plateaus’ scalloped perimeter, forming a continuous image, a thick linear volume that bridges and combines the “negative” space between them.
more info at: Double Negative

Admission to Double Negative by artist Michael Heizer is always free.

Adidas Runners LA
2023-04-03 | LIVE on Facebook
Free Virtual Runs with Adidas Runners LA
Join Adidas Runners LA in FREE virtual running sessions. Adidas Runners is a free running community with daily events from running to strength and nutrition. These sessions are delivered to you via video.

Benefits of Virtual Running

Virtual Running is a social activity that bring new opportunities and experiences that challenge you personally. You’ll find as you complete more virtual runs that the online community of fellow runners is extremely supportive and accepting. Everyone is completing a virtual run for their own unique reason, their own special cause, and their own personal accomplishment. And even though the run itself isn’t so much about other people, that doesn’t mean you can’t do it with a group or some friends. It’s all up to you. That’s the beauty — and the freedom — of a virtual run.

Virtual runs are races that can be completed from anywhere in the world. Whether you walk or run doesn’t matter, and neither does your skill level. If you’re looking to get in shape, want to up your game with new challenges, or are just looking for something fun, virtual races give you the opportunity to nail your goal.

Adidas Runners LA Virtual Runs Include;
FREE Tempo Run
The Tempo Run is a moderate sustained effort sandwiched between a warm up and cool down. Tempo Run’s are an effective way of building a runner’s ability to sustain faster speeds over time.
FREE Long Run
The Long Run is measured in distance rather than time. Distance measurement helps to build a foundation for longer aerobic runs and races. The run is either 4 or 6 miles distances at an easy pace.
We participate in a proper Warm Up with the use of Adidas Running app to monitor our progress. We also, focus on relaxing at a slower pace while ending with a proper Cool Down.

FREE Virtual Nutrition
Tune in each week to nutrition coach Lottie’s Nutriton Tlks. In this session Lottie will have a different guest each week where they will create a recipe together and discuss topics around fueling plus nutrition. This dynamic conversation will supply useful tips for any athlete who is looking to learn more about nutrition and healthy habits!
The video will be posted at 7:00 am. Check website below for more information.

The Hollywood Cross
2023-04-03 | The Hollywood Cross, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd E, Hollywood, CA, 90068, United States
The Hollywood Cross, is better known by it’s official name as the Hollywood Pilgrimage Memorial Monument. And if you’ve ever driven on the 101 freeway through Hollywood, then you’ve probably have noticed the giant, illuminated cross on top of a hill just to the north of the Cahuenga exit.

The Hollywood Cross is a memorial to Christine Stevenson, a founding member of the Theatre Arts Alliance, the group who built the Hollywood Bowl. The Alliance began producing plays exclusively with religious themes, but some members wanted to branch out with some productions of a more secular nature.

Ms. Stevenson had no interest in secular productions and in 1920 she built the Pilgrimage Theatre, named after her new production, the Pilgrimage Play.
When Stevenson died in 1922, the Pilgrimage continued to put on the Pilgrimage Play until 1964 when a lawsuit brought the play’s run to its end. This legal action stemmed from concerns about the separation of church and state that came about in 1941, after the County of Los Angeles was deeded the theatre and the land it was on.
In 1976, The Pilgrimage was renamed John Anson Ford Amphitheater in honor of the former L.A. County Supervisor and today it’s known simply as The Ford.

The Many Iterations of the Hollywood Cross
In 1923, in honor of Ms. Stevenson, a giant wooden cross was placed on the hilltop above the Pilgrimage Theater. It was lit up in the evening when her play was being performed in the amphitheater below.
In 1993 the current monument — a 32-foot tall memorial of steel and opaque plastic — was put in place and dubbed the Hollywood Pilgrimage Memorial Monument. Two years later, it was named the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #617.

How to get to the Hollywood Cross
To visit the Cross from the Ford Theatre, walk south along Cahuenga Boulevard East. Right before the intersection with Cahuenga Terrace, on top of a retaining wall, you’ll see a narrow trail leading up the hill. This isn’t the most obvious of trails, so you’ll have to look closely.
The hike is short, but the trail is quite steep. The path isn’t well marked or well groomed, so come prepared with proper shoes. The hike is challenging, but eventually you will come to the top of the hill at the base of the Hollywood Cross. From the top of the hill the views are spectacular.

Where to Park When Hiking to the Hollywood Cross
There’s no parking along Cahuenga Boulevard. Find parking on Cahuenga Terrace, a small side street just to the south of the cross. Or, depending on the time of day (and if you’re feeling bold), you can park in the Ford Theatre’s nearby lot.
The Hollywood Cross is now owned by The Church On The Way in Van Nuys, California.

6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.

PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2023-04-03 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.

Yoga in Runyon Canyon
2023-04-03 10:30 - 11:30 | Runyon Canyon, 2000 N. Fuller Ave, Hollywood, CA, 90046, United States
EVERY MONDAY / WEDNESDAY / FRIDAY- Hollywood
Runyon Canyon Yoga is lead by Daniel Overberger, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30am – 11:30am. No, it’s not just an urban legend. This is where it all began: donation-based yoga in the park, year-round, since 2000.
Catch Daniel on
MONDAY / WEDNESDAY / FRIDAY
10:30am – 11:30am
Runyon Canyon
2000 N. Fuller Ave., Hollywood, CA 90046
Suggested donation: $5 or more
Bring a mat or a towel and meet in the fenced-in children’s play area just inside the main entrance (weather permitting). Everyone is welcome.

Runyon Canyon Yoga- 2000 N. Fuller Ave., Hollywood, CA 90046

In 1634, Daniel Overberger’s forebears came to America on the Dove as escaped counterfeiters. Here, they mated with members of the Yaocomico tribe of Maryland. Centuries later, it is this union of fugitive and shaman blood that runs through Daniel’s veins, injecting a much needed outlaw spirit into western yoga.

Having earned his teaching certification through his studies and apprenticeship with ashtanga vinyasa masters in Mysore, India, Daniel has been bringing donation-based vinyasa yoga to the people since 2005. The host of the Daniel Overberger – What Now? podcast, author of Leaving Stress Behind and founder of alt-kirtan group Dharma Gypsys, Daniel has been featured on KTLA News, in Tarzan Magazine (Japan) and in LA Yoga Magazine, to which he has been a regular contributor.

Daniel has two teaching certificates from his studies in Mysore, India and teaches Vinyasa yoga with roots in Ashtanga. His teaching is laced with a sense of humor and a down-to-earth attitude that makes yoga accessible to anyone willing to show up for the gig.

TODAY @ CAAM
2023-04-03 11:00 - 15:30 | California African American Museum, 600 State Drive, Los Angeles, CA, 90037, United States
TODAY @ CAAM – Exposition Park
CAMM is pleased to present

600 State Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037, USA

ABOUT CAAM
The California African American Museum‘s mission is to research, collect, preserve, and interpret for public enrichment the history, art, and culture of African Americans with an emphasis on California and the western United States.
Founded in 1977, CAAM has a long and rich history. The first African American museum of art, history, and culture fully supported by a state, CAAM was the direct result of a sustained, multiyear campaign of activism undertaken by visionary founders and community members. Its creation was an early and tangible recognition by the State of California of the critically important role African Americans have played in the American West’s cultural, economic, and political development.

CAAM’s permanent collection consists of over 5,000 objects ranging from the 1800s to the present. It encompasses paintings, photographs, film, sculpture, historical documents, and artifacts, and it spans nineteenth-century landscape paintings to modern artworks to contemporary mixed-media reflections on cultural and political events. The Museum’s first acquisitions included a bronze bust of civil rights activist Dr. Mary Mcleod Bethune by artist Richmond Barthé and a sculpture by artist Maren Hassinger, then at the start of her career. These laid the perfect groundwork for CAAM’s mandate to assemble a comprehensive, thoughtful, and wide-reaching collection.
CAAM’s deepest holdings include art made or connected to African Americans in California and the western United States. However, the Museum also has significant works of contemporary art from the African diaspora (including Haiti, Brazil, and Jamaica), as well as traditional African art from Western, Central, and Sub-Saharan Africa. CAAM aims to represent the diverse contributions of African Americans in the United States, but also to interpret how the past has affected identity in the present.

VISIT
The California African American Museum is located in the heart of Los Angeles, just steps away from USC, the California Science Center, and the Natural History Museum. We are accessible by car, bus, and Metro rail line. Admission, exhibitions, programs, and events are always free and open to the public.
Driving and Parking
If you are driving, CAAM is at the corner of Figueroa Street and Exposition Boulevard, just west of the 110 Freeway. Please note that our parking lot entrance is at 39th and Figueroa Streets. Please put that cross-section into your maps search or GPS device.
Parking in Exposition Park is $15 during the day; $18 after 5 pm.

Bus and Rail
For directions to get to CAAM via bus or rail, please visit www.metro.net.
CAAM and Exposition Park are serviced by the Metro Expo Line in the light rail system. Our station is Expo Park/USC.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band’s fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding “big four” bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica’s current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band’s third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums. Its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), the band’s first to root predominantly in heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era.
Metallica, like most of the music industry right now, is off the road. To help fans pass the time, they are introducing #MetallicaMondays. Each week the Free Metallica Monday Concert features a different live performance, on their YouTube and Facebook page every Monday night at 5 PM pacific.

Chinatown, 939 N Hill St., Los Angeles, CA 90012

There’s something to be said for inner beauty. Yes, even when it comes down to the interior of a small and unassuming drinkery in the middle of Chinatown, it truly is what’s on the inside that counts. Melody Lounge, located off of N Hill Street, right off the 110, and within walking distance of Dodger Stadium, invites you in with a modest, yet charming exterior. A quiet entryway welcomes you through the door into a low-key hideaway ridden with an array of superb cocktails and a collection of craft beers that will make your head spin.

Once you enter Melody Lounge, you will find yourself within a cozy nook illuminated by red lanterns, giving off an alluring crimson hue to the place. A vinyl record is usually spinning, playing just loud enough to not have to yell over while you’re chatting with your bartender. With typically, a moderately laid-back atmosphere, on rowdier nights like Sundays when they feature karaoke from 9:30 to close, the room fills up quickly and the good times roll.

Reaching its five-year anniversary in March, Melody Lounge started solely as a craft beer bar and received its full liquor license just over one year ago, allowing them to accumulate quite the range of spirits to coincide with its diverse gallery of craft brews.
“We still have a big focus on craft beer, which is where our roots are, but we just wanted to take the next step, upgrade, and tailor a cocktail menu,” says general manager Eric Bouvet. “We do all 32 classics at any given time, and we also have a small list of signature cocktails. We try to keep it simple, offer good cocktails.”

Melody Lounge and its multiple sister bars including The Short Stop in Echo Park and Footsies in Cypress Park, typically fall under the same theme of slight preservation. As they each display a low-key appearance from the exterior, upon entering, you will find that there is so much more than what initially meets the eye.

Hours
Sunday – Friday: 5:00pm – 2:00am
Saturday: 2:00pm – 2:00am
