Don't Forget: Gashapon Pop-Up Store In Little Tokyo, Horror Vibes Coffee, Butterfly Pavilion & Desert X

If you head over to Little Tokyo you can grab toys/stuff to put on your desk from anime/video games and more. The Gashapon Pop-Up Store is only here until the Summer and you might want to go multiple times to grab all the goodies it's got.

With over 200 machines stacked up high, it looks like the perfect place to try your luck and find some fun figure to stick hidden somewhere in your house or show along your window sill.

Little Tokyo
Location: 319 E. 2nd St. Los Angeles, CA 90012

Horror Vibes is still going strong. With so much horror coming out with Scream 6 and the new Evil Dead Rise on the way, there's plenty to talk about there with other horror chums.  Even that awful looking Children of the Corn. Enjoy your coffees and ice cram with a horror edge.

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) has opened its seasonal Butterfly Pavilion for the spring and summer months  Visitors are able to walk among hundreds of butterflies in NHM’s outdoor, open-air netted enclosure. The experience also features colorful native plants and plenty of natural light to help you see these creatures flutter and fly.

 
Don' forget you're not that far out from Palm Springs. Desert X 2023 starts its almost 3-month stay in Coachella Valley starting Saturday. The outdoor art exhibition has yet to share the new free pieces to be in awe of as of writing this. Every two years, different artists showcase pieces large and small, but entice you to visit them a little outside of LA. What make it all the wilder is that they aren't in all one location, but usually all over Coachella Valley making you drive out to enjoy not just Palm Springs and how it's put on the freeway sign "Other Desert Cities."
