Downtown • 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibition, where you'll get an up close look at over 100 costumes from over two dozen of last year's movies, such as Julie & Julia, Star Trek, An Education, and The Young Victoria. It's a rare opportunity to freeze the action and marvel at the imagination.
Downtown • GRAMMY Museum. From Vision to Vinyl: A Step-by-Step Look at Vinyl Production.
Claremont • The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology. The large collection of fossil mammals from North America. The Hall of Footprints is the largest, most diverse collection of animal footprints on display in North America.
Hollywood • Comedy Central Stage. Tonight, "The writer's room with Jimmy Pardo". Tired of using his quick wit and legendary crowd work skills to get laughs, Jimmy Pardo has hired a team of writers to park themselves on stage and pen material for him on the fly. It's a formula for comedy guaranteed to devolve into merciless skewering for Jimmy's standup comic guests or the writer who just fed Jimmy a dud! With comedians Pete Holmes, Laurie Kilmartin and Moshe Kasher and a writers’ panel of Joe Wagner, Jarrett Grode and Jimmy Dore.
Pasadena • Rose
City Rocks Music Fest. 100 bands over 4 days on 7 stages in Old Town
