If you are not willing to take us up on 365 Plays/365 Days, but are still brimming at the seat to do something other than club it or have a Netflix night, here are two options for tonight and tomorrow.

Terrace seating at last night's Minimalist Jukebox concert was like bleacher seats at a baseball game - a bit unruly. Well, unruly as a classical concert can get these days at least. Terry Jennings' (1940 - 1981, born in Eagle Rock) String Quartet begat another piece in the audience. The "drone-inspired, modal, repetitive," extremely quiet and delicate work gave room for a chorus of antiphonal coughs, throat clearing and shuffling feet. These small, but constant sounds foreign to the piece, made it even more beautiful in that sort of "you are a noise nerd" way.

LA Weekly's Caroline Ryder was wondering if she would be hugging people "1992-style" at yesterday morning's (really early morning) Minimalist Jukebox concert featuring The Orb at Walt Disney Concert Hall. No hugging was spotted, but plenty of what looked to be ex-ravers from 1992 (plus one guy in a tie-dye t-shirt who never stopped dancing).

We really hope you don't come to Disney Hall to sleep, but we're sure Frank Gehry made room for some comfortable spots.

The Philharmonic plays there. President Clinton speaks there. Now The Orb will be making ambient love in the Disney Concert Hall house all night long, starting just before midnight this Saturday and not packing up until 6am. They'll be ably helped by Dntel, Boom Bip, John Tejada, dublab and you. Because you can win, from us (or losanjealous) a pair of tickets. It's all to kick off the Minimalist Jukebox music festival, which runs from 18th until April 2.
