The L.A. Derby Dolls are Southern California's premiere all-female, banked track roller derby league. Founded in October 2003 by Rebecca Ninburg (a.k.a.Demolicious) and Wendy Templeton (a.k.a. Thora Zeen), the L.A. Derby Dolls are a league of more than 150 skaters and volunteers, divided into five  teams  who skate on a banked track. Embodying the do-it-yourself ethos of modern roller derby, as resurrected in Austin, Texas in 2000, the L.A. Derby Dolls are an entirely volunteer-run organization, relying on the support of their fans and community. The L.A. Derby Dolls take all the thrills of the old game and update it with a fresh and feisty new face. And the hits and spills are 100% real. No script can write this kind of action.

Hollywood forever cemetery: 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard at gower [map] september 11th : bedazzled   Directed by Stanley Donen (1967 94 mins) Gates 6:30 pm Movie 8:00 pm No reservation necessary $10 donation tickets available at gate As a courtesy to other moviegoers: NO TALL CHAIRS!! Stylish, playful, and outrageously funny, Bedazzled is a 60s mod gem. A 'Swinging London' take on the Faust story, it stars the incomparable comedy team of Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. Moore has a crush on a waitress at his work and when he meets the devil, played by Cook, he signs his soul over for seven chances to try and seduce her. He is transformed into an intellectual, a rich playboy, a rock star and more as he tries to romance his way into her heart. Raquel Welch co-stars as one of the seven deadly sins, (you can guess which one),and Cook's turn as a rock star is one of the funniest mod moments in cinema! From the director of Singing in the Rain and Charade http://tinyurl.co...

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy   August 14, 2010 Time(s): 8:00 p.m. Location: Balloon Park | Map and Directions Free Admission, Parking $10 Last summer “America’s favorite little big band” delivered the most well-attended and rapturously received show of the Great Park’s concert season. That’s pretty much standard operating procedure for the swinging septet. Whether playing Council Bluffs, Iowa or Disney Hall on New Year’s Eve, the Los Angeles-based, globe-spanning Big Bad Voodoo Daddy puts its all into its high-energy, horn-driven music. Their wowed audiences have included a Super Bowl halftime crowd, anyone who has seen the movie Swingers, and three US presidents. But those who attended last year’s Great Park show will tell you the BBVD is best enjoyed under the stars on a beautiful Southern California night. Swing music was about as popular as braces when singer/guitarist Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren formed Big Bad Voodoo Daddy in 1993. The band’s youthful approach to...
