Friday
 1. Visit the art galleries of Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and Echo Park at the Silver Lake Art Crawl. We exceeded our quota of lame trucker hat/ironic t-shirt quips sometime around Sunset Junction, so please go and sincerely enjoy the art and the Eastside. (Runs all weekend)
Saturday
 2. Did we mention that we love free stuff? (Our appreciation of the gratis is rooted more in economic necessity than the weird sense of privilege that makes people in the industry tear each other limb from limb when they start handing out goodie bags at an event, but we digress.) Anyway, KCRW’s Next Up Showcase of Independent Local Artists (featuring performances by AM, Jesca Hoop, Quincy and Blue-Eyed Son) on the Santa Monica Pier is all sorts of free.
3. Another thing we love: pictures of naked people. Especially the classy, "erotica" kind. Check out the LA Erotica exhibition at the Clair Obscur Gallery. [Link NSFW]
4. Hear proof that rock has murdered nu-metal, as the KROQ Inland Invasion features Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, and Muse. We're ever so sad to see Korn and Staind going the way of the dinosaur.
Sunday
 5. Note the moment when every single winner at the Emmys Awards stares off into the distance, ever so briefly contemplating how they can parlay their little gold statue into a film career. Garry Shandling has been broken out of cold storage to host.
