1. It's a well-established fact that we love free shows. Tonight, you can see Snow Patrol at Tower Records on Sunset at 7 p.m., then immediately hop in your car and head east to Spaceland, where Bloc Party won't begin until 9 p.m. at the earliest. Yes, this is an incredibly ambitious plan, but sometimes being cheap takes great motivation.
2. See a special sneak preview of The Hillside Strangler, the true story of a team of serial killers that wreaked havoc in Los Angeles in the late '70’s, at the Egyptian. Cast and crew members will hang around for a discussion; hopefully star C. Thomas "Pony Boy/Side Out/Soul Man" Howell won't bail before the Q&A.
3. Watch agents and managers troll for talent at the USC School of Cinema-Television's First Look Film Festival at the DGA, which gives "an advanced look at the next generation of filmmakers." But get there as early as possible, before the talent-hungry reps fill their pockets with whatever finger foods are provided and slip out the door.
