UnHipLA is on a break

I’ve been on a very very long break. I apologize to my readers. Please follow www.twitter.com/unhipla for some sporadic bits of fun.  As always, please rifle through my archives.  

Also, thanks to my sister for my blog makeover.  I’m out shopping for new blog clothes now.

Dating for the Bookish

Got this from the Citysearch LA mailing list.  Sounds like a fun way to meet the like-minded.  Friday, August 7, 2009.

Hot Summer Nights at Skylight Books
Tired of hearing the wind blow through your date’s empty skull? Trade up at this indie bookseller’s super-cool nerd event for the thinking (wo)man. (Hey, books equals brains* right?!) It’s like hipster-ville over here, so you can expect to be in well-read, poetry-versed, tight-jeaned good company while you peruse the shelves after hours. And if all else fails they’ve got live music, free beer and light refreshments for you to blog in earnest about the following day. “The potato chips were yellow like an egg yolk dandelion left to wither beneath the hot summer sun … ”

*Citysearch Los Angeles is not responsible if you’re (yet again) cornered by a dud.

Go: 10pm-12am. Bring: Fake eyeglasses, an outgoing attitude and your copy of “The Catcher in the Rye” (just kidding, leave that at home).

Skylight Books, Los Feliz

Oh the joy that is Twitter

I have found a great network of fellow free fun seekers on Twitter.  It’s almost like we’re preaching to the choir.  Please follow UnHip LA on Twitter so you can find out some of these great deals.  I love Twitter because it’s like a reminder service, alerting me when good things are happening.  I particularly like getting tweets from:

@markslavkin (arts education director at the Music Center) – lets us know when events such as free Beatles sing-alongs occur

@LA_Decostified – always seems to know the latest free meal deal

@Levitt_Pasadena -  holding a free Michael Jackson memorial concert on Friday, August 14.  Be prepared for a mob scene.

@shopeatsleep, @FreeFunLA, @LA_Story, @Staycation_LA – all channelers of good fun

@IndyShakes – has free Shakespeare productions in Barnsdall Park

@BoredLA – let me know about the Korean BBQ festival on August 8.

Please follow www.twitter.com/unhipla to get the latest scoops!  You can also see an excerpt of my feed on the left side of my blog.  Twitter shows that LA truly is a playground.

Tweeted

I’ve been spending way too much time on Twitter.  I hope you’ll follow unhipla there because I post way more over there than here now.  www.twitter.com/unhipla.  Sure once the novelty wears off for me, I’ll probably return to these pages.

In the meantime, here are some of my recent tweets of things to do in LA:

Subversive superhero art show at the Royal T this Fri 7/17. Free! Superhero attire suggested, contests/hero snacks too.

Friday, July 17. Sing-along to the Beatles at Keck Aud/ Disney Concert Hall. FREE! arrive 45 min early for tickets

RT

Thursday, July 16, Sing-a-long to Funny Girl at the Ford, part of Outfest:

Sounds like fun!

Via @LADecostified McDonald’s giving out free 8 oz iced or hot mochas on Mondays till Aug 3.

This sounds like wacky fun

On Saturday, Beverly Hills hosts a "public art party" to celebrate the work of Yayoi Kusama.  I’ve experienced a Kusama installation before at the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh.  It was cool and wacky.  This event’s free and the Paley Center for Media will be free as well that day as part of the festivities.

Combine this day with a visit to the Renegade Craft Fair (also free) and you’ll have a great, creative Saturday.
