It's the first Friday of the month, which means along Abbot Kinney in Venice it's the monthly First Friday event. Folks hungering for a face-full of food truck fare with their Holiday Art Walk will be sorely disappointed, though, because First Fridays is kicking the "nouveau" meals-on-wheels-mobiles to the curb, according to Yo!

However, there's a smaller First Friday in Los Angeles, one with a less grandiose budget, little advertising, but is worth a look at.

The Austin duo Ghostland Observatory, recently played an LA show to a captive audience of taxidermied bison and eager beavers. Their hypersonic, March 2nd gig at the Natural History Museum was without question the auditory equivalent of the visual representation of launching into light speed.
