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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
