A good friend of mine is in a band called The Kris Special, and he's starting to work on putting together a benefit show for a local animal rescue. (They're still deciding which one.) Do any of you know of bands/musicians who might be interested in participating?

He already has a couple onboard, but he's hoping to find a more well-known band so that he can get a bigger/nicer venue and accommodate more people - any names, links, or contact information would be great to pass on to him. Thank you!

P.S. The Kris Special is having a free show 1/18 at Spaceland, 9pm. You should come! :)

Extra-small men's clothes?

My boyfriend is about 5'8" with a slender frame, and most "small" size shirts hang off of him and look really baggy.

For reference: An American Apparel small is just about right, though their extra-small works for him as well; however, he prefers dress-shirts to t-shirts (and dressier clothes in general), so that only helps so much. Small size Aeropostale dress shirts are a bit better than most but they're still too big, and they don't carry an extra-small (which would be perfect). I've heard that H&M has extra small men's shirts..?

Additionally, we're both poor as well as kind of clumsy and absentminded; so it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend $50+ on a shirt he may dribble coffee on a couple weeks later. (Maybe if it was dark-colored..?) I thrift store and Target-clearance sale all my clothes but my size is easy to find; we can't find ANYTHING for him at thrift stores, beyond the very occasional gender-neutral-looking lady's jacket, etc.

Any ideas? And thank you!

Immigrant/African American bridge building initiatives in Oakland

this sounded pretty interesting. is anyone here oakland-based and familiar with it? the labels (immigrant and african american) overlap, so i don't know if the reporting was quite able to or should have conveyed that.

I lost my favorite hat in a car crash.

( Image under cut )

I managed to save the feathers, but I have no idea where to go to find a purple felt pimp hat to replace it. The original was a gift, so I'm rather at a loss. Does anyone know where I could go that even might carry something like this?

Extra ticket

Five of us were going to see Frosty the Snow Manilow at the Falcon Theatre this Saturday, January 9th, at 4:00 p.m. One had to drop out so I have an extra ticket. Face value is $42.50. Row 6 center seats.

If someone would like to buy the extra ticket from me, please contact me through the private messaging system on LJ.

If you've never seen the Troubadors perform, you are in for a real treat and must be prepared to laugh like crazy. Singing, dancing, comedy... they are wonderful and always get rave reviews. I believe this run is sold out. The Troubies always do a story/music mash-up; prior Troubie shows I have seen include As U2 Like It (mixture of Shakespeare and the music of U2), and Oedipus the King, Mama (mixture of Oediupus Rex and the music of Elvis). The Falcon is a very nice, small theatre at 4252 Riverside Drive in Burbank, owned by Gary Marshall, with quality productions.

a little advice

My neighbor had to kick her roommate out for not paying rent and now needs money. Can she sell the ex-roomies things? ( I ask this here in case you all know about the renter's rights and such in LA)

( The details )

So, any advice??

*names have been changed to protect.. well you know..

MInd you, please don't yell at me for trying to help an older woman who is struggling with these economic times. Legal or not, the bottom line is that something has to happen. If there are other avenues, please share. I myself will not be selling anything nor taking part in trying to get this money back. I just want to help my neighbor by asking you folks in the LA community if you have been in similar experiences..

Thanks in advance.

Mosaic Art Supply

Hi there,

I am wondering if anyone here does mosaic work and if so, where in person, in Los Angeles do you buy your supplies from?

Also, which are your favorite art stores?

Thanks in advance!

Happy New Year's Eve! Don't drink & drive!

Public transit? In LA?! I know, it's absurd!

But please take advantage of these driving alternatives tonight! Plus riding the Metro with a bunch of revelers is SO MUCH FUN!!!

Be safe out there : }

All Things Considered, Part 6

Previously, on All Things Considered...

Later, Travis would remember that they had somehow moved into one of the bedrooms, that Ennis held him, pulled him down, saying words that made no sense to him...little darlin'...I'm sorry...begging forgiveness from Jack...

There it was. A name, Jack. A reason, deceased.

Lucky Strike at LA Live

Anyone ever bowled there on a Fri night? There are absolutely no prices on their website. Are their prices overly inflated? Can anyone give me an idea of what it would cost per lane or per person? I'd like to go w/ a group of girls, but don't want it to be really expensive.
