Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders play The Greek on Thursday, September 3rd
THE PRETENDERS: Oh my. Chrissie Hynde and Patti Smith, in the same town, on the same night? Two idols. It's all almost too much. In a good way, of course. Ms. Hynde and The Pretenders are taking the middle of the road straight to The Greek. Joining: Juliette Lewis and Cat Power. What a show. It all starts at 7:30PM. (Patti Smith is at Santa Monica Pier at 7PM, fyi).
SLANGUAGE: A mondo MOCA happening of cinematic, socializing-matic proportions. Deal: Films unspooling/showing/delighting around the museum. Fortunes told. Interactive artwork. And conversation. You can do a bit of urban planning, too; materials and guidance will be provided. The question of the night will be: where to go first, what to see, what to do? That was three questions. We realize that. 7-10PM. Free
NAUGHTY NAUGHTY JAZZ: Garters on. And make sure you bring your sense of humor, too. And a love for razzmatazz-y, slightly saucy old-time tunes. Janet Klein and Her Parlor Boys are making for the Steve Allen Theatre. The lady on stage will likely have a flower or two in her hair; will you? We call this good dress-up prep for the Art Deco Festival on the Queen Mary. 8PM
