I don’t know about you, but my mornings this weekend are taken up by the Wimbledon Finals and the Euro Final. Fortunately, the time zones are in our favor. With the sports done by early afternoon, we have the rest of the weekend for tons of fun events – from partying with your friends both animal and human at the L.
A. Zoo for Roaring Nights to checking out Pace Gallery’s exciting opening of the new Gordon Parks photography exhibit. And of course, we can’t forget that DineLA starts this week, so there are plenty of deals to choose from as well as specials to celebrate Bastille Day at your favorite French restaurants.
Be sure to visit LAist.com for more things to do, like grab tickets to our Prose Bowl with Get Lit on Friday. And you can read up on the history of the Hollywood Bowl ; or if you’re staying in, choose some of the best new shows to binge .
Alejandro Escovedo You have two local chances to experience the stylings of Austin singer-songwriter Alejandro Escovedo and his new album, Echo Dancing . A product of new-wave punk in New York City, Escovedo’s long and storied career is nothing short of astounding; his Austin City Limits performances are among my favorites. Gordon Parks Exhibition Photographer Gordon Parks documented American society throughout the mid-20th century with a unique lens on race, civil rights, and urban life.
The opening of the upcoming show at Pace Gallery features a reception as well as a meditation on Saturday afternoon led by Open Stu.
