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

@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.

This Friday, the Audubon Center at Debs Park is leading a free bird walk at 7pm and then showing two bird documentaries at 8pm: Eyewitness: Bird (English with Spanish subtitles, 30 min) and Ocean Oasis (Spanish with English subtitles, 60 mins).  This sounds like a lovely date idea!  The film will be shown outside in the center’s courtyard, free admission and refreshments too.  On the walk, you might see an owl and other night birds.  I suspect a lot of families and kids will be there.  The next bird walk and film showing is October 5.  Bring a sketchbook and a flashlight.

As corny as it may sound, the show gave me hope.    There are goofy-cool people out there.
