Etta James plays at The Bowl
At last the sultry voice of Etta James graces the stage at the Hollywood Bowl. Under the star stricken sky you can enjoy a bottle of wine and the queen of blues. This concert will make your heart melt and take you back to the first time you fell in love. My recommendation is to take a pillow and someone warm to snuggle with.

The Downtown Film Festival
Celebrating the cultural resurgence of Downtown Los Angeles, the film festival will take place in various historical theaters throughout Downtown LA, including the Orpheum Theatre, The LA Center Studios, Sci-Arc, and the MOCA. There are many exciting receptions and parties associated with the film festival that can be found on the events page of the website. My personal recommendation is Happy Hour at The Edison, which is one of the most masterful architectural renovations in the city. The film festival runs from August 13th - August 17th.
Admission: $10 per screening

Bathed in the pale glow of a silver moon Joslin's oil portraits magically transport us to the era of art-deco and swing as seamlessly as if we walked onto the set of The Great Gatsby. Filled with glitter and jazz his work is reminiscent of German artist Christian Schad, well known for his luxurious portraits of night clubbers and the German elite during the late 1920's. This is an RSVP event so I recommend you get your name list if you want to view these lovely ladies.
