Weekly Roundup of Los Angeles foodie and fashion events + where to catch a glimpse of your favorite celebs!

Food and Culture

Devil’s Night Drive In is probably one of the most unique ways to spend a Saturday night.  There aren’t many places in L.A. or the U.S. for that matter, where you can experience the “Drive In Movie.”  This week’s movie is John Water’s Hairpsray and should be a fabulous event. All modes of transportation are welcome, even bikes.  Food is provided by the Angel City Derby girls and brought to your car a la 1950s style! You can even BYOB or pop, whichever you prefer. Buy tickets here. When: March 13, 2010 6:00pm Where: 240 W. 4th St. (at Broadway) Los Angeles, CA
