A rundown of the best events in our city this week.
EDITOR’S PICK: FUTURE ISSUE RELEASE PARTY
WHAT: Finally, the time has come to celebrate the product of many sleepless nights and an absurd amount of instant ramen. Our baby is going into its fourth year with this November/December issue, and it was only apt that we named it The Future Issue. Join us as we make merry for this festive occasion by rinsing the MSG from our system with plenty of booze and making up for months of no exercise with a dance floor twerkout. Arrive early for your best shot at copping swag bags and hosted drinks by Abreojos Tequila (10-11pm). RSVP here.
WHEN: Thursday, November 21, 10pm-2am
WHERE: 1725 N Hudson, Los Angeles, CA 90028
