Yoga in Runyon Canyon
2024-11-04 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.
“You’re living your dream… don’t miss it.”

Design. Construct. Create. The best way to foster your child’s creativity is by providing them with the tools to build their own world and let their imagination soar. Join us at Inglewood Public Library – Children’s Services, every Monday from 4 pm – 5 pm. The Lego Bricks is specially designed for children to build, learn and create exciting play experiences. This will help develop your child’s imagination and love of building!

THE LEGO BRAND VALUES
Imagination
Free play is how children develop their imagination – the foundation for creativity. Curiosity asks WHY and imagines possible explanations. Playfulness asks WHAT IF and imagines how the ordinary becomes extraordinary fantasy or fiction. Dreaming is the first step toward doing it.

Creativity
Creativity is the ability to come up with ideas that are new, surprising, and valuable – and it’s an essential 21st-century skill. Systematic creativity is a particular form of creativity that combines logic and reasoning with playfulness and imagination.

Fun
Fun is being active together, the thrill of an adventure, the joyful enthusiasm of children, and the delight in surprising both yourself and others in what you can do or create. Fun is the happiness we experience when we are fully engaged in something that requires mastery when our abilities are in balance with the challenge at hand and we are making progress towards a goal.

Learning
Learning is about being curious, experimenting, and collaborating – expanding our thinking and doing, helping us develop new insights and new skills. We learn through play by putting things together, taking them apart, and putting them together in different ways. Building, un-building, rebuilding, thereby creating new things and developing new ways of thinking about ourselves, and the world.

Caring
Caring is about our desire to make a positive difference in the lives of children, our colleagues, our partners, and the world we live in. Doing that little extra, not because we have to – but because it feels right and because we care.

Quality
For us, quality means the challenge of continuous improvement to provide the best play material, the best for children and their development, and the best to our community and partners. From a reputation for manufacturing excellence to becoming trusted by all – we believe in quality that speaks for itself and earns us the recommendation of all.

Parents, time to round up the whole family and take everyone out of to see real rocket fly through the sky. Anywhere that has a good west facing view of the Southern California sky, is great. Beaches are especially good locations, because of the lack of light over the ocean. Take a look at the video below, of a recent SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket Launch from Vandenberg AFB.

They also own SLC-4E at Vandenberg, California for their high inclination launches. Another site is also being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.

Atlas V 401
An Atlas V with a 4 meter diameter fairing, no boosters and a single centaur upper stage engine.

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.

Milk Crate Mondays
2024-11-04 17:00 - 2024-11-05 02:00 | Melody Lounge, 939 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90012, United States
EVERY MONDAY- Chinatown
Vinyl Dance Party every Monday at Melody Lounge! All Vinyl. All Night. All Vibes.
Hip Hop | R&B | Soul | Funk | Classics
Needle Drops at 9:00 PM
Resident DJs: DP SOUND CREW

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.

5140 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601
We’ve traveled the world in search of the best beers and were inspired by the vast variety of craft beers and breweries that make them. Brews Brothers are our take on serving an ever-changing selection of the best beers in LA’s growing craft beer market.

North Hollywood:
Our dynamic forty-two taps include combinations of American strong ales, Belgian strong ales, Barrel Aged beers, IPAs, light beers, wheat beers, unique one-offs, and various other styles.

We also have house-made Kombucha, three beers on nitro, and a couple of seasonal ciders. We interchange our taps often, replacing existing beers with ones of similar styles, so there is always something new to try!

WHO ARE THE BREWS BROTHERS?

​Billie and Joey have been involved with the LA Craft Beer scene for over a decade – watching it grow from nearly nothing to the massive and ever-expanding market it is today.

Billie and Joey have brewed over 240 batches of beer along with a few collaborations with some of the more established breweries in California. They intend to continue to collaborate with more breweries in the future.
During their many visits to Belgium, along with numerous trips around the country, they previewed many beer shops and were impressed with the large variety of beer selections offered. They knew they had the experience and passion for creating something similar at home.

8901 W. Sunset Blvd West Hollywood, CA 90069
As long as there has been a Los Angeles rock scene, there has been the Whisky A Go-Go. An anchor on the Sunset Strip since its opening in 1964, the Whisky A Go-Go has played host to rock ‘n’ roll’s most important bands, from the Doors, Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin to today’s up-and-coming new artists.

On January 16, 1964, a small club on the Sunset Strip opened its doors for the first time.

It was The Whisky a Go Go, the first-ever live music venue to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the most iconic club on the Strip. Founded by Mario Maglieri, Elmer Valentine, and Phil Tanzini – The Whisky had to spell its name without the ‘e’ in whiskey because Los Angeles city zoning laws didn’t allow any club to be named after alcohols (The Whisky constantly had problems with the city and for a while had the name “The Whisk?”). The world-famous Whisky a Go Go opened on Jan. 15, 1964, with a concert by Johnny Rivers.
A DJ named Joanie Labine (the first DJ at The Whisky) played records in a booth that was suspended to the right of the stage in between Johnny Rivers’ sets. Labine entertained the crowd by dancing and the idea of the go-go dancer was born. Very soon a ‘costume’ of the go-go dancers also emerged: a girl wearing a short, fringed skirt and high, white boots: a trend that will spread to all discotheques and nightclubs all across the country.
And the rest is history…

DIRTY MONDAYS LA
2024-11-04 22:00 - 2024-11-05 02:00 | Madame Siam, 1723 North Hudson Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, 90028, United States
EVERY MONDAY – Madame Siam
The Most INSANE rock n roll party in LA! Every Monday at Madame Siam in Hollywood. 10pm – 2am. NO COVER. Free shots with RSVP!
Flashback, we’re in 2011 when four guys end up together in Milan. They have experienced some of the world’s most exciting scenes from Europe to the USA. They have fostered their love for good music and they have realized that Milan is lacking something: a real rock and roll night where rock is king. They desperately feel the need for a Monday night out that could start the week off with a bang! Or extend the weekend, which is always too short, depending on your point of view.
To these guys making a combo of the two needs come naturally. The final result is a delightfully fatal mix of explosive sounds that reaches the full rock spectrum: from classics like The Kinks to the furious Sex Pistols punk, reaching the Beach Boys surf rock and completing the circle with the nostalgic psychedelia of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd with a final Modern chaser of Temples and Tame Impala. A full recipe designed to endear the most demanding ears and unleash even the less discerning ones.
The Dirty Mondays founders are also recognized for creating their own denim jackets available to the crew and a few close friends. Maybe you’ve seen them, they stand out in the crowd.

1723 N Hudson Ave Los Angeles, CA 90028
Madame Siam is an underground hotspot with plenty of space for dancing, drinking and enjoying the whimsical circus-themed decor while a live DJ plays open format music. Carnival games, a candy store and a house psychic are just a few of the draws for patrons to come and have a unique Hollywood experience.

Jeff Dunham
A Texas native, after graduating from Baylor University, Dunham moved to Los Angeles and soon became a sensation on the national comedy club circuit. He later conquered the comedy world by becoming a multi-platinum selling DVD artist and achieving record-breaking ratings on both cable and network TV. His 2015 stand-up special, “Unhinged in Hollywood,” debuted on NBC Primetime and ranked as the time period’s top non-sports program on the Big 4 in every key measure. The special was re-broadcast on Comedy Central and was the top rated special of the year for the entire network. Dunham’s previous stand-up specials, “Arguing with Myself,” “Spark of Insanity,” “A Very Special Christmas,” “Controlled Chaos,” “Minding the Monsters,” and “All Over the Map,” have garnered record-breaking numbers by either claiming “most watched” or “highest rated” on Comedy Central.
Dunham has made many cameo appearances across television and film, from the Emmy Award-winning comedy series “30 Rock,” “Angie Tribeca,” and “Dinner for Schmucks,” starring Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd.
His autobiography, “All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed and Me,” was on the New York Times’ Best Seller list three weeks in a row. Dunham has also been awarded “Billboard’s Top Comedy Tour” for three years based on box office sales. Dunham is currently on the road through the end of the year and well beyond, with his cast of characters.
Adding to an amazing list of recent accomplishments, Dunham’s contribution to the world of show business and comedy was recognized in 2017 when he received a star on the “Hollywood Walk of Fame,” commemorating over two decades of superstardom. Now it’s your turn to learn How to Be A Ventriloquist

Pluto TV
2024-11-05 | Online event
IT’S FREE TV! App or Online
What is Pluto TV? Well let’s see. We could pen a historical essay about our 2013 origins.

We could toss around numbers like 100s of channels, 200+ content partners, and 26+ million viewers. We could even drone on about our huge library of on-demand content which spans across all genres of movies, news, TV shows, sports, documentaries, and blah blah blahhh…
But why complicate things when Pluto TV is, at its core, really simple?
All you really need to know is… it’s free of passwords, it’s free of payments, and it’s free of all those Friday night spats about what to watch.
Pluto TV is a free live-stream television and on-demand video service from ViacomCBS.

So just lean back. Drop in and enjoy the show. It’s free.

What will I Find on Pluto TV?

LIVE TV

Blockbuster Movies

Comedy

Cult Classics

Kids & Family Friendly Programing

Owned by ViacomCBS, Pluto TV is a live-TV streaming service, not entirely unlike Sling TV and such competitors as DirecTV Now, Hulu+ Live TV, or other similar services. But unlike those services which offer streaming access to channels you’d find on cable TV, Pluto TV offers free content mainly curated from what’s already available online. Pluto TV launched in 2014 and picked up steam fairly quickly making it the largest free TV streaming service in the U.S.
You’re not going to find standard TV channels, though some are represented via their web counterparts, especially news outlets. Those include familiar names like Bloomberg, Cheddar, CNBC, MSNBC, CBSN, and many others. As of April 2019, it also includes CNN, though not the full, live CNN you get on cable. Instead, the CNN channel features a curated playlist of short-form digital content from CNN’s anchors and reporters. Featured clips are oriented toward lifestyle and culture, climate change, the environment, and original CNN investigations and interviews. A similar channel for NBC called NBC News Now arrived in February 2020. Other recent additions to Pluto include CMT, Kevin Hart’s Laugh out Loud, and Red Bull TV, plus a handful of new themed channels in Celebrity, Reality, and Lives, the perfect cocktail for pop culture and reality TV enthusiasts.
Sports coverage is less conventional — you’re not going to find the likes of ESPN here. Instead, you’ll find choices like Fight, World Poker Tour, Impact Wrestling, a dedicated Sports News network, Glory Kickboxing, and the Big Sky Network. DAZN recently signed a deal to provide an original weekly series on Pluto TV, and there’s potential for that partnership to expand down the line. Pluto has recently added an official PGA Tour channel with 24/7 coverage of one of golf’s biggest tournaments.
In the Entertainment section, there are reruns of reality and documentary shows alongside episodes of Dennis the Menace, Thunderbirds, and other older TV shows. Among those various channels, you’ll also find Wipeout, a network that only shows reruns of the popular game show and various iterations from different countries, as well as Nosey, which shows reruns of The Jerry Springer Show and The Maury Show, among others. Meanwhile, the Curiosity section features Science TV, Docu TV, Xive TV, and even a NASA live stream. New additions include Pluto TV Sitcoms, offering a selection of older comedies like 3rd Rock from the Sun and The Lucy Show, and a Spanish-language channel called Pluto TV Cine.
