Weekly What To Do: Coachella Begins, Let's Hope For Less Traffic

 
Coachella Weekend 1 starts this Friday, LA might seem less congested as some of the folks have decided to head out early. Just be careful on the roads to and from our city as big treks of teenagers/college kids and whomever is headed to Coachella/Palm Springs.

Out there they'll enjoy music acts and overprices everything. Have fun.

This six-feature marathon of lo-fi sci-fi comes from the archives of Secret Sixteen: L.A.’s sickest hand-picked stockpile of this wondrous film format.  

Join Secret Sixteen founder Mike Williamson, Josh Miller (Friday Night Frights) and Bret Berg (Museum of Home Video) for a 12-hour blast of cyberjunk comforts.  These movie-collecting miscreants decided we needed to go even harder than our marathon with them last October by busting open their trove of dystopian future shocks and scares that lovingly hearkens back to some dingy bong basement memory.
 
Titles aren’t revealed until they unspool onscreen — get ready to duck and cover from time-traveling troopers, frozen freebooters, martial-arts marauders, bionic butchers, randy droids and paradox-parroting P.I.s!  BYO blue milk.
