No Giant Village?
According to a few reports, including one on LJ's LA community page, it looks like you won't have access to Fergie's Humps tonight (or Ben Gibbard's or Jason Bentley's for that matter). Police and Fire officials have supposedly cancelled Giant Village 6 for safety concerns.
UPDATE: The fire department says it was event organizers, not authorities.
Weren't going to Giant Village tonight? Well, you probably still have to worry about this problem as that means there will be literally thousands of LA revelers with no where to go. Expect them to be crashing your party plans in droves.
For those displaced party people still looking to get down tonight, LAist recommends the Temple Bar on the west side and a midnight performance by Breakestra. Get some funk in your life. Tickets are only $40, it's a full night of music and there's free champagne also at midnight.
Celebrate the new year shaking what your mama gave ya.
UPDATE #2: Please don't post Dave Dean's (or anyone's) Home Address and phone # in the comments. It will be removed. The appropriate complaint channel is through Giant's official contact info:
