Get Out: 'Everything Is Terrible' at Cinefamily, Punk Christmas & More
MUSIC: There will be boots, studs, leather and other stylistic accessories at the Airliner this Saturday as 18 plus punk bands converge on the Airliner for a Christmas show. Two floors, two stages and outdoor BBQ on behalf of Fries the Limit will provide you with enough space and fuel to thrash around with your friends. The Airliner is located at 2419 N. Broadway Blvd. in Lincoln Heights. The show starts at 4 pm.
MOVIES: It's the most wonderful terrible time of the year! Cinefamily is celebrating the holiday season with a compilation of found footage for "Everything Is Terrible!" It promises layers of "erotic Santas, Nazi elves, misplaced sentimentalities, fistfights over toys-for-tots and an endless parade of singing kids that will surely destroy us all." You can catch the holiday special at 9:30 pm or midnight. And while we're here, you should know that Cinefamily has a Kickstarter project that needs your help.
BALLET: Tonight you can catch the Nutcracker, courtesy of the The Los Angeles Ballet. The dance company makes its way to the Valley Performing Arts Center just in time for you to enjoy the holidays with family and friends. The event starts at 7:30 PM and tickets range from $30-$95. You can buy tickets here. The Valley Performing Arts Center is located at 18111 Nordhoff Street.

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.
