It's also Passover starting Wednesday night for those of the Jewish faith. We can't eat anything leaven. So no bread. It's like forced into being gluten free for seven days.
And, don't forget about Easter Sunday when people usually celebrate with brunch or some sort of get-together and get chocolate eggs.

Tonight, we screen the notoriously non-sensical Japanese anime Garzey’s Wing, a 90 minute straight to video Japanese anime from the mid-90’s that has something to do with a young man named Chris getting teleported naked by a huge mystical duck to “another world” where wings sprout from his feet and he fights. . .
Oh why bother! The Resistance are gonna take this diamond in the rough and have a ball live dubbing it and trying to figure out how to make a story and characters out of an anime with crazy sequences, no story, and characters whose motivations remain a mystery even to the creators of the anime itself.

In the work of American artist Sam Francis (1923–1994), Western and Eastern aesthetics engage in a profound intercultural dialogue. Francis first traveled to Japan in 1957, developing a lifelong affinity for Japanese art and culture that influenced his work. His expressive handling of negative space shared pictorial and philosophical affinities with aspects of East Asian aesthetics, particularly the Japanese concept of ma, the dynamic between form and non-form. With over 60 works from LACMA’s collection and key lenders, this is the first exhibition to explore the artist’s work in relation to ma and other aspects of Japanese aesthetics.

Drinking & Dragons is divided into three, 30-minute sessions. Audience members are chosen at random to join the table with our Dungeon Master Riley, while the audience weighs-in like an improv show. Just because you're not physically sitting at the table does not mean that you won't be affecting the game! Audience participation is essential to Drinking & Dragons. We've got a basketball-sized d20 for you to roll too!
