7020 Melrose Avenue Los Angeles, CA 90033 ~ 323-937-7088

Gallery 1988 knows how to put on an art show and they’re kicking off the new year right with their tribute show for the Beastie Boys. This is their second under the influence show and it looks like they’re not stopping anytime soon. The show got the official seal of approval from the Beastie Boys themselves, with part of the money raised by the show going to Gaymercy Housing Group, a charity group the guys choose themselves. Comic book artist and BB fan Jim “Food One” Mahfood kicked it down with 200 hand signed and numbered Paul’s Boutique mini-comic, “Ask For Janice”. More than a hundred artist payed their respects to the BB for being some of the best MCs ever and inspiring the next generation. The show will be on from till January 29 at the gallery.

LAPD Officers Watched a Nearly $1 Million Metro Bus Get Lit On Fire. Why Didn’t They Do Something?

On social media, people were quick to criticize fans that participated in the celebrations. But few people questioned why the LAPD, a public agency with an annual budget of over $3 billion, stood around and waited until the bus was on fire before they did something. Or why the city wasn’t better prepared to handle public celebrations considering the same exact thing happened three years ago when the Dodgers won the World Series (again).

“I remember driving early in the morning, in the dark, to get to the cemetery,” says Heather Langenkamp, who played Nancy. “I remember thinking to myself, 'I’ve never been over here, but I’ve heard that there’s really great tacos over here on Soto. Robert Englund was such a foodie. He probably told me that the best food in town was over there.”
