memorial day weekend: shit to do

Thursday
8pm: Tone Loc, Digital Underground, Coolio, Young MC at the Key Club, 9039 Sunet blvd, West Hollywood. I mean, how can this be bad?

9pm: hip hop, latin soul and dub at the Rootdown at Little Temple, 4515 Santa Monica, Silver Lake. The rootdown, a long-established L.A. hip hop scene is always worth a trip out to the vermont area. small fee for valet and cover, both worth it.

Friday
eh, couldn't find anything. go see stick it, the da vinci code, poisdon, mission impossible or some other crappy movie Hollywood's trying to claim is the next summer blockbuster hit!!! alternatively, you could catch up with all of the good tv that you missed this week, oh wait...

Saturday:
7pm: Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Cemetary Screenings at the Hollywood Forev er cemetary. for more info: www.cemetaryscreenings.com

9:30pm: DJ Logic hosts Soundlessons at the Echo, 1822 Sunset Blvd., Echo Park

9pm: West Indian Girl, Northern at Spaceland, 1717 Silver Lake Blvd, Silver Lake

9pm: get some 'quality' hip hop with djs mason and haul. Zanzibar, 1301 Fifth street, Santa Monica. only caution, this is quite a dude-heavy venue and sometimes features djs that are less than, eh, average. otherwise, a solid night of very decent hip hop.
