Having Fun in LA

I'm sick of nightclubs. I've said it many times. This weekend was an exception because of my birthday and Halloween, which is always fun. But what to do? In other places like Miami where I spent many years of my life, there is not much else going on, but Los Angeles is not the case. There is plenty to do. 

Here are some ideas for this week. Hope you like them. 

- The Floor Show this Tuesday night at the King King Hollywood. I posted something about this amazing show before, produced by Carolina Cerisola and Sasha Escandon. You know what? This Tuesday is the LAST SHOW so I suggest you be there. More info clicking here. 

- The AFI Fest started this weekend and continues all week. Click here for more info.

- Want Music? R. Kelly at the Nokia Theatre this Thursday. The Dan Band at Club Nokia on Friday. Jay-Z at Pauley Pavillion (UCLA) on Sunday. 

- If you want something awesome and a little bit different on Sunday night, head over to Bordello for Harlow Gold. I wrote something about that before and its a really cool place and the show is definitely worth it. 

- Sports Fan? November 8 has the amazing showdown of Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant at Staples Center. One of the best players to come to LA before Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat come to town. 

- Comedy? Tom Arnold does a funny show and he will be at the Laugh Factory o Wednesday. 

- And the Holiday Season Movies begin this weekend with Jim Carrey's "A Christmas Carol" opening on Friday, as well as Richard Kelly's "The Box" with Cameron Diaz, and the one I really want to see which is "The Man Who Stare at Goats" with George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor and Kevin Spacey. Looks great. 

So those are some of the great entertainment options of the LA nightlife. I will try to post similar things often as I find out of other cool events going on. If you have any recommendations please email me anytime. 

LA Nights

I have mixed opinions about the Los Angeles nightlife in general. I have been to some unbelievable places, but most of them have been just OK. I hate that everything closes at 2am, especially after living all my life in Buenos Aires and Miami where the fun begins at 2am. 

Still, what I have enjoyed the most here is finding secret little places, the ones that you never know what to expect. Like in New York City, there are plenty of those in Los Angeles. You don't hear about them as much, and most people end up going to the usual trendy places so when you are with friends its very hard to convince them to go someplace new. 

Last night I ended up at this place called Bordello in Downtown. It is definitely one of those places. Half the time it felt like I was part of a Fellini movie, and the other half it was a David Lynch movie. I went to this place to see my friend Carolina Cerisola's new show, Harlow Gold. The show was created, directed and choreographed by Tracy Phillips (who also dances) and Dominic Carbone. Tracy, Carolina and three other dancers are on it, and its amazing. The show started last night and it will be on every Sunday night at this place. I cannot recommend it enough. 

One of the things I love about being in L.A. is that there are always different things you can do. Shows, comedy, concerts, and you don't have to settle with the usual drinks and clubbing. The music at this place Bordello also I should point out, was very different and great compared to the usual hip hop mixed up with old school 80's hits and Michael Jackson songs we have been hearing in every club for the past two months. 

So next Sunday night I absolutely encourage you to go check out this place. There may be other shows worth going during the week as well, but I don't know much about that. I can most definitely recommend Carolina's show and I know you won't be disappointed. 

Bordello is at 901 E. 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA. Click here for the official website.
