Three Top Picks To Do This Saturday
M = Less than .5 miles from an L.A. Metro Station, FA = Free Admission
David Lynch: The Art of Life -> This Saturday, the Philosophical Research Society kicks off its month-long “Night Blooming Jasmine” series celebrating director David Lynch. The program begins with an intimate screening of the 2016 documentary David Lynch: The Art Life, which offers a rare look into Lynch’s private painting studio and his formative years as an artist. Following the film, stay for a special Q&A with Sabrina Sutherland, Lynch’s longtime producer and collaborator of over thirty years. It’s a must-attend for cinephiles and Lynch devotees looking to understand the man behind the mystery. Tickets are $15 plus fees. Even runs 7 to 9:30 p.m. More info here.
Oddities & Curiosities Expo – M > This Saturday and Sunday, the Oddities & Curiosities Expo returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center with an extraordinary showcase of over 150 vendors and artists providing a unique shopping experience for enthusiasts of the strange, offering rare and unique items such as antiques and handcrafted oddities. Beyond shopping, the immersive expo includes tarot readings, sideshow performers, and concessions throughout the day. Tickets start at $16.83. More info here.
Beat Battle LA – FA > Calling all local producers and sample-flippers! Audiospace is hosting its monthly Beat Battle this Saturday at Temple Grounds, a record store and coffee shop in Echo Park. The format is simple: show up at 9 a.m. to receive a mystery sample, then spend one hour building an original track before showcasing it to a jury of your peers. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to sharpen your production chops, it’s an excellent space for collaboration and networking. Not a producer? You’re still welcome to grab a drink, “touch grass,” and enjoy the showcase. Just remember to bring your laptop and headphones—and your best vibes. Admission is free, though buying a drink to support the venue is encouraged. Event runs 9 a.m. to noon. More info here.
