Get Out: Twin Peaks 20th Anniversary Art Show, Wally's Wine Tent Sale, Bulldog Beauty Paegant
Damn Good Coffee, And Hot: The gum you like is going to come back in style. And with that I give you this news... Twin Peaks is 20. If that isn't enough to mess with your head, then looking at all the Twin Peaks inspired art in a Clifton's surrounding will certainly do the trick. In celebration of the all things Peak-y the two day exhibit will be on view for five hours today (art show opened yesterday). Entry is on a first-come first-spooked basis. Artists paying tribute include, among others, David Lynch, Grace Zabriskie and Richard Beymer. Here's hoping Bob doesn't crawl out from behind one of those fake trees to attack you. BYOL(og). Clifton's, 648 South Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90014, 10:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m.
Cheap & Fancy: Wally's Wine is having a Tent Sale!! You should go purchase some discount wine. It's good for the soul, and the budget, and that dinner party you swore you'd throw this year. Candy is dandy but discount wine is divine. Up to 80% off. Wally's Wine, 2107 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, 90025, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Bulldog Beauty: This one's for the early birds.. err.... early dogs? It's a beauty pageant for bulldogs. Oh yes. The contests are under the shade trees at Marine Stadium, free parking, 5225 E. Paoli Way, Long Beach, 90803 and THE BULLDOG BEAUTY CONTEST & Haute Dog Pageants will take place between 10 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. Vendor fair and pet adoption is underway. More details here.
