L.A. Weekender: Surf. Dance. Run. Brunch.

July 26, 2013

Another week, another weekend. It’s hard to believe that the L.A. County Fair is only 34 days away. When September rolls around, our weekends will be filled with nothing but Fair–and we love it!

July 15, 2013

Twitter’s 3-D Billboard: Digital billboards stopped being a novelty long ago, but 3-D billboards have not.

L.A. Weekender: Cars & Stripes, a block party, a Color Run and science

June 28, 2013

Do you hear that? The birds chirping, the beat of the heat wave, splashes from the pool? That’s because it’s Friday… Given that Independence Day is less than a week away, we thought we would keep it fairly mellow this weekend so you can get your family ready for the fireworks festivities that are sure…

Fairplex Snapshot: Vans Warped Tour

June 21, 2013

One of my favorite things about Fairplex is the versatility of the entire venue. Today, teens with bright colored hair and tatted up arms fill the infield while band after band rocks out all day (and night!) at Vans Warped Tour. The stages line the outskirts of the infield and clothing, food and music vendors…
