 | EDITOR'S PICK: STREET HEARTS SWIM BASH WHAT: Kick back with us poolside this Sunday as we put our hangovers aside and celebrate the achievements of the most anticipated designer platform on the PROJECT MVMNT trade show scene: Street Hearts. In a notoriously patriarchal world, the all-female collective showcases the most progressive brands in contemporary streetwear this season: HELLZ BELLZ/BOTB, Melody Ehsani, Love+Made. After all, a woman's work is never done. RSVP here.
WHEN: Sunday, August 4, 12-6pm
WHERE: 6250 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028 | | |

 | X-GAMES AT LA LIVE WHAT: While Lupe Fiasco helped us figure out that we'll never know how to kickflip, we can still vicariously experience the thrill of extreme athleticism without the threat of actual physical injury. The X-Games are leaving LA, and now is a better time than ever to catch the wizardry of your favorite bike/skate/motocross star without having to nurse grazed knees and crushed dreams of becoming an action sport celebrity.
WHEN: Thursday, August 1 through Sunday, August 4
WHERE: 800 W Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90015 | | |
 | SUNSET STRIP MUSIC FESTIVAL WHAT: These days, everyone is throwing a music festival, but we can't complain. See acts that have cut their teeth performing at joints along Sunset, including high school guilty pleasure Linkin Park, left-field rapper Wale, and garage-rock-blues-psych amalgam rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Included in the pass is entrance to gigs like Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts, who perform at the Viper Room on Saturday and Sunday. Sweet.
WHEN: Thursday, August 1st through Saturday, August 3rd
WHERE: Sunset Blvd., between Doheny and San Vicente | | |
 | THRASHBIRD "A SOLO EXHIBIT" WHAT: If you live in LA, street art is no doubt a ubiquitous facet of your daily landscape, whether you dig it or not. Artists like Thrashbird throw up NSFW and socio-politically charged wheat-pastes on everything from graffiti-plastered brick walls to lamp posts and electricity boxes. This Friday, see street art in a decidedly more organized fashion at Park Studios Hwood at Thrashbird's aptly named, "A Solo Exhibit."
WHEN: Friday, August 2 & Saturday, August 3, 7-11pm
WHERE: 6417 Selma Ave., Hollywood, CA 90028 | | | |
 | "BDX-LAX: FARAWAY SO CLOSE" OPENING WHAT: Apparently, LA has sister cities. And one of those cities is the illustrious wine-producing city of Bordeaux. While we haven't yet seen bottles of wine magically appear in our kitchens (le sigh), Subliminal Projects hosts an exhibit that shows sister city relationships can be more than just a show of inflated diplomacy; Contemporary artists from both cities display work that reflects each city's urban trends. Besides, if we can't bond over art, what hope do we have for [Metta] World Peace?
WHEN: Friday, August 2, 8-11pm
WHERE: 1331 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026 | | | |
 | WHAT: Like jazz but the only kind you've heard lately is the cheesy stuff of porn soundtracks? We've got your back. Head to FIGat7th tomorrow for a live performance by José James, an up-and-coming musician whose vocals are impossibly smooth and imbibed with soul. Though his methods are deeply informed by jazz, the singer borrows from hip-hop in his production, and the results are magnificently transcendent.
WHEN: Friday, August 2, 6:30pm
WHERE: 735 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90017 | | | |
 | CRAB AND BEER FEST AT LOT 613 WHAT: Crabs, crabs! Get yer crabs! No . . . no! Not that kind. Awkward. This is the kind consumed with beer, and plenty of it. Sixty bucks gets you all-you-can-eat crab and bottomless beer. If you're the type who likes to balance their protein and alcohol consumption with space-sucking carbs and veggies, there will also be roasted corn, potatoes and rolls, in case, you know, you don't want crabs or something. Pre-sales have ended but tix can still be purchased via phone, or in-person while supplies last. Hurry!
WHEN: Saturday, August 3, 12-6pm
WHERE: 613 Imperial St, Los Angeles, CA, 90021
