Don't wear pants and ride the metro around LA. It all ends with a lot of foot traffic and questions at Union Station. I hope that Metro Fairy isn't there, it horrifies us.

Now this is a great idea for a series. Watch a cars cruise insane speeds, bullets fly and people die! Crazy action awaits you all month long with car chases from the 1970's. Films may have looked ugly and so did the actors, but man, they could drive cars.
*The French Connection chase was very illegal.

2015 New Year's Celebration Featuring Seven Souls in the Skull CastleSunday, January 11, 2015 from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Downtown Independent
251 S. Main Street
Los Angeles, CA 90012
$10-$20; After 5pm: $ 5 (At the door / Cash only).
First you can meet-up and eat up some provided snacks. Eh, listen I love the idea of a Japanese event to rock out to, but Seven Souls in the Skull Castle ain't the best sounding live action movie. Hell, it comes from the writer of Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, Kazuki Nakashima, but I'm still not sold. The problem with the film is it's way to Japanese history based for even the most loving otaku fan. You may want to skip ahead to the music of Tune in Tokyo -After 5pm: $ 5 (At the door / Cash only).
