Another amazing week to live in LA. You could party to a video game soundtrack or to the annual tradition of the Cheery Blossom Festival of Japan. The LA County Air Show will let you stare up at the sky and ponder how funny it would be to trap a friend on a jet ride for an April Fool's prank, one day. Our top picks this week include the Postal Correspondence exhibition by Gallery 1988, so many famous places that aren't real need postcards, we wanna snag the Hyrule one. Then "CicLAvia - The Valley" let's the people walk the streets without fear of being run over. For one day walk down Ventura and Lankershim. Bicyclists put on a helmet no matter your age, that new bill of bike safety will pass. So just like driving, click it or ticket.
