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).
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.
