it's Warhol actually...

so i know this is a little preemptive, but i just found out about this and just can't keep the good news to myself...

but on february 25th (and running through april 18th), the Fisher Museum at USC is going to have a photography exhibit consisting of it's newly inherited collection of andy warhol photographs. the museum aquired 100 polaroids and 50 B/W gelatin prints which it recently recieved from the Andy Warhold Photographic Legacy Program. there aren't many other details about the show just yet but i'm sure more will
be divulged as the exhibit gets closer.


i don't know how early everyone else marks down events in there calendar, but i can tell you i already have this one in mine. i'll be sure to post again if i hear anything more about it and will post a reminder of the show when we get closer to february.

SUMMER EVENT!

Hi Everyone!
So, I've been totally behind on the events. :( I'm leaving for my trip in 3 days!!! But I wanted to share one last event posting before I leave. (And no worries, I'll be sure to make up for my absence and severe lack of postings when I get back with lots of lovely L.A. events! :) ):

From the Hammer website:
"Rock returns to the Hammer courtyard this July for a series of free concerts hand-picked by local independent radio powerhouse Indie 103.1 Each night features back-to-back sets by some of the best breathtaking bands. Galleries open until 9pm.

(Also) JazzPOP also returns to the Hammer over three consecutive Thursdays this summer, with three different takes on the jazz sextet/septet that draw inspiration from prog rock, Motown, free jazz, psychedelic pop, and folksy Americana. Organized by San Francisco bassist and independent curator Lisa Mezzacappa. Galleries open until 9pm.

All Hammer public programs are free. Reservations not accepted, RSVP's not required."
Here's the link:

I went to 3 out of the 4 free concerts last year and I totally recommend it! I would also recommend getting there a little earlier than the scheduled time because sometimes they reach full capacity and will cut the line off. This year's line-up includes Nico Vega, The Deadly Syndrome, The Duke Spirit, and Tokyo Police Club.

so it's been too long since we've updated you on the happenings in the area. but i can't take credit for this one, this is all maria. so much thanks goes out to her.



the flier is pretty self explanatory i know, but it's a toy camera show out in irvine. since i also know the picture quality isn't too great, the address is 14321 yale ave., irvine CA, 92604.

hope people can make it out. sadly i can't guarantee that i will be there myself (damned work schedule), but it's definitely a priority. if i am, carpooling would definitely be an option for anyone else interested in going.
