Yes, as warned a couple weeks ago, the weekend of outlandish events that will turn heads all around have come. These events are no UCLA Undie Run, but you don't need to strip down half naked to have fun. Here's what's going on:
- Tonight, 10:00 p.m.: Mobile Clubbing @
Hollywood/Highland Red Line StationGrauman's Chinese Theater. Get ready to jam to your own iPod in a dance club called "Public Space." That means, until you're asked to leave, which hopefully isn't within a minute.Details hereUpdated Details at Facebook.
- Saturday, 3 p.m.: Bring your pillow to Pershing Square for Los Angeles Pillow Fight Day. People are meeting up at local bars at 1 p.m. to start the party early. They have a list of suggested bars, but we hear via tweets that the big pre-party is at Big Casey's.
