Vice Magazine Colt 45 Pool Party Saturday
Are you sick of being predictable and want to avoid the obvious Sunset Junction this weekend, but you don't know whats crackin'?
This Saturday at the Standard Hollywood the local riff-raff will be floating in a pool sipping a free Colt 45, getting the worse sunburns of the summer. Classy? Of course, nothing less for us here at LAist.
The event is put on by Vice Magazine and Blow Up LA, and should be cool, because even if you miss the Noon-1pm or 4pm-5pm free Colt 45 sessions, there are 40's for cheap being served all day long to keep you toasty. It could be much worse considering this admission cost is having a pulse (and an RSVP).
Sponsor
The whole deal is from Noon to 6pm and you gotta RSVP here, cuz that's just how they roll. But it could offer an alternative to the traffic disaster we all know as Sunset Junction. So get into the pool, throw the bottle back, and keep on keeping it real.

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.
