From SilverlakeArtCrawl.com:

The Silver Lake Art Crawl will once again be an affirmation of Silver Lake as an important center of artistic expression. The eclectic flavor of Silver Lake community and its surrounding neighborhoods deserves an outlet where it can be seen and appreciated. Our mission this year is to emphasize the rich, diverse art produced and displayed here through gallery exhibitions, special events, and other projects during SLAC 2009.
See you there!

November 7-8, 2009 (Sat-Sun)
General Hours:
11am-9pm Saturday, Nov. 7th

Extended hours at certain venues for special events

That's iPhone quality right there.

So The Pixies are still awesome.  The band kicked off their tour last night at the Hollywood Palladium by running through their classic album, Doolittle.  It was a treat for hardcore fans as they played the entire album including the B-Sides, of few of which Kim Deal herself barely remembered.  The best part about hearing the full album with the B-Sides is that we got both versions of Wave of Mutilation, so whichever version you’re more partial to, you got it.   Black Francis/Frank Black/Charles Thompson IV still has that voice, and the backing graphics featuring the members awkwardly posing made The Pixies seem really endearing, which is good to see after their documentary LoudQuietLoud depressed the Hell out of me.

There are only a few bands that I’d go back the next night and see but The Pixies are definitely in that category.  So, um, feel free to share your extra ticket with me.  Thanks.
