Eat Free Ice Cream and Listen to the New Beastie Boys

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

What a better way to enjoy the longest Monday of the year than to enjoy free ice cream while listening to the mellow funky goodness that is The Mix Up, the new album by the Beastie Boys?

In a deliciously and deviously cool way to get you to listen to their new collection of all-instrumental jazzy grooves that come out tomorrow, the three bad brothers you know so well have arranged for two listening parties to happen this evening here in LA. And while you listen you will be served free ice cream by two local ice creameries!

The listening parties will take place from 6pm-8pm at the following locations:
