    Weatherday

    Los Angeles · Lodge Room, 104 N Ave 56

    Weatherday, the noise pop project helmed by the mononymous songwriter Sputnik, turns a fascination with hornets into a fully realized world on Hornet Disaster, a sweeping follow-up to the 2019 debut Come in and a spiritual successor to the 2022 collaboration Weatherglow. Shaped from an initial burst of more than 70 songs and guided by a clear narrative that ties back to earlier work, the album opens with a bristling title track that hurtles forward with volatility and playfulness while hinting at new approaches to writing and production. Lead single Angel, paired with Heartbeats, underscores that evolution, one as a punchy, springy emo anthem and the other a sleek, downtempo piece that nods to The Knife and expands Weatherday’s sonic palette. Across nineteen tracks, the motion, color, and shape of hornets weave through whirlwind melodies and sudden turns, making room for varied detours like a Swedish-language winter tribute in Pulka, the airy shimmer of renaissance flute on Green Tea Seaweed Sea, and the folktronica experimentation of Ripped Apart By Hands. The result is a bustling collection where songs jostle like insects in a swarm, stirring tension and release while maintaining purpose and familiarity, extending the knotted intensity of Come in with an all-in spirit that reflects an artist fully settled into a distinct voice.

    Book Launch: Veronica Gonzalez Peña’s Secret Daughter

    Los Angeles · 2220 Arts + Archives, 2220 Beverly Blvd

    Celebrate the publication of Secret Daughter by Veronica Gonzalez Peña with a conversation featuring Chris Kraus. The novel follows a girl sent from her extended family in Mexico City to live in the United States at the age of six, a move meant to shield her from her mother’s severe mental illness. She grows up in a Midwestern college town with an affectionate yet ineffectual uncle and his unsympathetic wife, while long summers back in Mexico leave her moving between two homes and two worlds. At twelve she is abruptly told that the man she believed was her father is not, and that her biological father is his close friend, a disclosure that deepens her sense of being in between. As an adult, she enters psychoanalysis to examine a lifelong feeling of loss and dislocation.

Groups consist of three participants and a coach, with participants remaining together across both days when the fit is right, and coaches rotating to a different group each day. Turnarounds of about 40 minutes allow time to pack, review video, and brief the next jump. The first day begins with a 30 minute safety briefing before the jumping portion starts. To attend, participants must have at least 150 skydives and 50 tracking jumps. Registration is $450 for the full camp and does not include jump tickets.

    Great Lake Swimmers

    Los Angeles · Lodge Room, 104 N Ave 56

    Great Lake Swimmers spotlight Caught Light, their ninth album, a collection shaped by quick, intuitive sessions that mirror the way light shifts in nature. Founder Tony Dekker created it in the Ganaraska Forest with producer Darcy Yates and engineer multi-instrumentalist Jimmy Bowskill, chasing the warm glow of classic folk, pop, and rock while nodding to the spirit of Gordon Lightfoot, Dory Previn, and John Martyn. The recording moved swiftly, with songs tracked in a few days and only brief overdubs that included harmonies from Colleen Brown. Yates selected the studio and the band, marking the first time Dekker handed production to someone else. Bowskill’s touch is everywhere, from pedal steel and mandolin to fiddle, bouzouki, and guitar, all while engineering the sessions to give the music a glowing, string-rich character. Drummer Gary Craig anchors the rhythms with veteran finesse. The album opens with two standouts. One More Dance Around the Sun hums with open-road ease and a deep sense of place and community. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong seeks comfort in a confidant, a gently swinging country shuffle lit by a shimmering pedal steel solo. Running Out of Time leans into purpose with a hint of psychedelia, and both the title track and Endless Detours welcome life’s surprising landings, inspired by childhood memories of skydivers touching down wherever the wind carried them. With a renewed focus on clarity and directness, Caught Light gathers longtime collaborators and fresh voices into a nimble, heartfelt set that balances tenderness, momentum, and a steady moral compass.

    Resavoir

    Los Angeles · Lodge Room, 104 N Ave 56

    Resavoir is the creative outlet of Chicago musician, composer, and producer Will Miller, a jazz trumpeter trained through Chicago Public Schools and the Oberlin Conservatory. His horn and writing have appeared on records by Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne, and Mac Miller, and he spent several years in the indie band Whitney. Since 2016 he has leaned into full-scale production, weaving synths, pianos, live and programmed drums, and a MIDI-assisted trumpet into a cinematic blend of soul and jazz shaped by hip hop, a sound heard in collaborations with Eryn Allen Kane, Whitney, Knox Fortune, and on SZA’s SOS, which led the Billboard 200 for ten weeks. Resavoir’s debut album arrived in 2019 to strong acclaim, including an 8.2 from Pitchfork. That same year the live ensemble, featuring Akenya and Sen Morimoto among others, made its London debut at the inaugural Boiler Room Festival, then recorded at Total Refreshment Studios, yielding a version of Charles Tolliver’s Plight released by Blue Note on the Transmissions from Total Refreshment Centre compilation. After extensive studio work during the pandemic and a 2022 tour with Whitney, Miller unveiled a second self-titled Resavoir album in 2023, a refined studio statement featuring contributors such as Elton Aura, Whitney, Akenya, Matt Gold, Eddie Burns, Lane Beckstrom, Jeremy Cunningham, Irvin Pierce, Macie Stewart, and Peter Manheim. In 2024 the project shared new singles including Life Before, a Knox Fortune remix of Future, and a live in studio take on Love Theme from Spartacus, and closed the year with Orchestra Resavoir at Thalia Hall, expanding the music for an 18-piece philharmonic. The evolution continued in 2025 with Horizon, a collaborative album with guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Matt Gold, inspired by shared roots in Brazilian music of the 60s and 70s and released on International Anthem. Most recently, Orchestra Resavoir appeared at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. This appearance spotlights Miller’s continually evolving vision, where layered production, lyrical trumpet lines, and collaborative energy converge on stage.

    All Hallows' Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve: Seekers + Tom Comitta

    Los Angeles · 2220 Arts + Archives, 2220 Beverly Blvd

    An evening delving into folk horror through ritual, performance, song, and film. Rooted in the Samhain tradition, a weeklong seasonal turning when the veil between worlds is said to thin, the program traces the thresholds of expression, dream, legibility, and horror. SEEKERS, the duo of Jessica Hundley and Jed Maheu, invites the audience to draw three Major Arcana Tarot cards, then transforms those pulls into song. Tom Comitta debuts Folk Horror, an album that sets classic horror stories, poems, and accounts of the paranormal to folk music. Additional performers will be announced. SEEKERS explores the esoteric through performance, layered soundscapes, and storytelling, shaping spoken and musical journeys through liminal territory. Hundley is a journalist, author, and filmmaker who serves as series editor for Taschen’s Library of Esoterica, a multi-volume visual reference on esoteric traditions. Her books include a biography of Gram Parsons for DaCapo, a best-selling guide to Los Angeles, and an in-depth survey of Dennis Hopper’s photography from Taschen. Maheu is an actor and occasional comedian, as well as the guitarist and vocalist for the heavy metal trio Zig Zags. Comitta is a multimedia artist and the author of The Nature Book, Patchwork, and People’s Choice Literature: The Most Wanted & Unwanted Novels. In 2017, they created and starred in Bill: The Musikill, an experimental sci-fi musical developed with Fire Drill as part of Minneapolis’s Momentum Dance Festival.

    Beyond Lecture: The Oldest Light and the Darkest Matter

    Irvine · Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building , 1056 Physical Sciences Rd

    Kevork N. Abazajian, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, presents an exploration of the visible cosmos and the hidden components that dominate it. Light from a trillion galaxies has traveled for over thirteen billion years to reach our instruments, yet the observable part accounts for only about five percent of everything that exists. Drawing on a UC Irvine tradition that began with Fred Reines and his Nobel Prize winning detection of the once undetectable neutrino, the talk traces that legacy to today. It covers ongoing searches for dark matter with X-ray observatories and the James Webb Space Telescope, why two precise measurements of the universe’s expansion rate do not agree, and how modern cosmology can determine the mass of ghostly neutrinos. It also considers the most challenging open problems and the Irvine theorists striving to solve them.

    Ghostly and Ghastly Pueblo de Los Angeles

    Los Angeles · LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, 501 N Main St

    This storytelling walk explores the historic heart of Los Angeles, highlighting haunted lore and unsettling chapters tied to the old Pueblo as it grew from a dusty settlement into a major city. The route visits burial grounds, landmarks, and places where tragedy left lingering tales of restless spirits. Highlights include the Campo Santo by the Placita Church, once a Catholic cemetery for many Indigenous people and early immigrants, with accounts of remains disturbed by later development and an unmarked lot nearby. On Fort Moore Hill, hear about the original Protestant cemetery that was built over without removing the dead and how the site later housed schools and offices before becoming home to the Grand Performing Arts High School. The walk also notes the Old Jewish Cemetery and Old Calvary Cemetery near Chavez Ravine, both largely overtaken by subsequent construction. Within the Pueblo, the Avila Adobe is presented as the city’s oldest surviving residence, a onetime home, hotel, and temporary quarters for U.S. troops, where reports describe the sorrowful presence of Encarnacion Avila, often heard crying and sometimes seen as a figure in a rocking chair on the porch. Nearby, Pico House, the grand hotel created by Pio Pico, is cited for unexplained footsteps and doors found ajar, a reputation intertwined with the former governor’s dramatic rise and fall. The route also visits the site of the Chinese Massacre, where a mob attacked, robbed, and killed residents of Chinatown, and where lingering apparitions are said to haunt a dark alley. At Pelaconi House, the oldest brick structure in the county and now home to La Golondrina Restaurant on Olvera Street, stories focus on La Consuela, known as The Mistress, who has been sighted on the front stairwell. The experience concludes at Union Station with the notorious case of Winnie Ruth Judd, the Tiger Woman or Trunk Murderess, and rumors of apparitions and blood seeping from old trunks in the baggage area. The walk is led by historian and community organizer Shmuel Gonzales, the Barrio Boychik and founder of Boyle Heights History Studios. The group meets outside by the LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes gift shop La Tienda near the entrance to the museum complex close to Olvera Street. It is an easy walk from Union Station and reachable by Metro Rail and MTA bus lines. Public parking is available in nearby lots and rates vary. Union Station also offers all day parking, though spaces can be limited. This is a special event with no cancellations or refunds.

    Learn to Throw Pottery: 5-Week Ceramic Wheel Throwing

    San Diego · 2590 Truxtun Rd

    Build your skills at the wheel in a five week evening course led by ceramicist and marine biologist Fran De Castro. Step by step instruction covers centering, pinching, pulling, and shaping clay into functional forms, with demonstrations of different pottery shapes so participants can choose what to make, including cups, bowls, vessels, and plates. The first week introduces the studio and core concepts such as the purpose of a damp box, stages of clay like leather hard, bone dry, and bisque, the types and structure of clay, how wheels operate, wedging, centering, and pulling walls, along with the helpful habit of not becoming too attached to early pieces. The second week refreshes ergonomics for centering and pulling walls and adds an introduction to trimming. The third week deepens trimming skills, brings in trimming on chucks and handle pulling, and highlights the four S’s of ceramics, which are score, slip, stick, and smooth. The fourth week focuses on glazing basics and community kiln etiquette. The final week continues glazing with wax resist techniques, explores differences among glazes, and practices glaze layering. Finished work will be ready for pickup about three to four weeks after the last session. Beginners are welcome and the course is open to ages 13 and up. It is recommended to bring an apron and an older towel or cloth rag. Discounts are available for military members, first responders, and siblings, and scholarships are offered. An interest list is available if the class is full or for notice of future offerings.

To come prepared, bring the item you plan to work on and any project specific materials that might be required, for example a particular thread color, elastic, a zipper, or embroidery floss, since exact supplies may not be available. Participants ages 12 and older may attend on their own, while ages 6 to 11 attend with an assisting adult. If an adult and child will each work on separate projects, two spaces are needed. If the adult is only assisting, one space is sufficient.

    E. Elias Merhige’s BEGOTTEN Cycle

    Los Angeles · 2220 Arts + Archives, 2220 Beverly Blvd

    7th House, the in-house film programming imprint of the Philosophical Research Society, returns to 2220 Arts + Archives with a rare presentation of filmmaker E. Elias Merhige’s complete Begotten Cycle. The program features the new 4K restoration of his 1989 feature Begotten, followed by Din of Celestial Birds from 2006 and Polia & Blastema: A Cosmic Opera from 2022. The total running time is 126 minutes and the screening includes an intermission. Composer and sound designer Gavin Gamboa will appear in person to discuss his work on Polia & Blastema. Spanning more than three decades, this trilogy charts a mythic arc in which deities come into being and are undone, treating cinema as an alchemical practice that turns light into substance. It is believed to be the first time the complete Begotten Cycle has been presented in Los Angeles. Begotten has been championed by prominent critics as a major work of modern cinema and as a profoundly unsettling vision. Its wordless creation story unfolds through stark, ritualized imagery shaped by Merhige’s distinctive photographic process. Shot on black-and-white 16mm reversal stock and then rephotographed frame by frame through neutral density filters, the undertaking stretched across four years and required roughly ten hours of labor for each finished minute. After early rebuffs from conventional distributors, the film built a following through a remarkable chain of advocates, from a VHS viewed by Pacific Film Archive director Edith Kramer to support from Susan Sontag, leading to a sold-out MoMA screening, a Film Forum engagement, and placement on TIME’s list of the ten best films of 1991. The new 4K restoration reveals the full intensity of the imagery, with weightier blacks, striking whites, and grain rendered as a living texture. Din of Celestial Birds revisits this cosmology in a short that premiered at the Telluride Film Festival, combining analog and digital techniques to traverse the violent birth of matter, the evolution of life, and the emergence of consciousness. Polia & Blastema completes the cycle as a cinematic opera, pairing Merhige’s libretto with original music and sound by Gavin Gamboa. Rooted in a Gnostic creation myth of two beings separated across time and space and drawn toward reunion, it explores collisions of organic and inorganic matter, decay, and supernatural horror, drawing on Viennese Actionism and philosopher Eugene Thacker’s idea of a world that exists beyond us.

    Travel back to 1877, when Los Angeles was a modest community of 10,000 poised for a real estate boom, and discover how civic-minded residents in Boyle Heights established Evergreen, the city’s oldest cemetery, a 67 acre burial ground meant to grow with the city. This immersive walking tour with Esotouric at Evergreen Cemetery follows the story from its founding to today, introducing the people who shaped both this ethnically diverse, non-denominational resting place and Los Angeles, including families such as Lankershim, Hollenbeck, Van Nuys, Bixby, and Workman, along with many others among 300,000 burials. Along the way, view early monuments carved by local stonecutters and an uncommon signed memorial, notice a lucky lizard, a hidden maiden, and a pink tiger that seems to prance, descend into the Chinese Shrine, and walk to the shoreline of the lost Crystal Lake.

    Desire

    Los Angeles · Lodge Room, 104 N Ave 56

    An evening of synth-pop and shadowy atmospheres unfolds with sets by Desire, MOTHERMARY, and Johnny Jewel. Desire, formed by vocalist Megan Louise alongside producer and composer Johnny Jewel, emerged in 2008 and has since shaped a lush world of glossy synths, heart-on-sleeve melodies, and dance floor melancholy. Their song “Under Your Spell,” featured in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive, brought their sound to a wide audience, and their influence has echoed through fashion houses such as Dior, Chanel, Max Mara, and Bottega Veneta. Their music bridges dream-pop, Italo disco, and noir-tinged aesthetics, and they continue to create while working toward a fourth album. MOTHERMARY, the identical twins Elyse and Larena Winn, channel a past marked by strict religious upbringing into a potent mix of synth-pop, darkwave, and subversive devotion. After leaving the church and moving from New York’s underground to Los Angeles, they released the debut album I Am Your God on Italians Do It Better. Expect 1980s drum machines, cinematic synth textures, gothic sheen, and entwined vocals that turn confession into dance floor release. Their performances feel like ritual, balancing intimacy and spectacle with a blend of club energy and reverent imagery. Composer and producer Johnny Jewel, founder of Italians Do It Better and a guiding force behind Chromatics, Glass Candy, and Desire, rounds out the bill. His work spans film and television, including Drive and Bronson, Ryan Gosling’s Lost River, Fien Troch’s Home, and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return, with fashion collaborations for Chanel, Dior, and Bottega Veneta. Recent scoring for Holly expanded his glacial ambience and glowing melodies. On stage he weaves analog synthesizers, film projections, and expansive soundscapes into a live experience that places the audience inside a cinematic sound world.

    Brentano String Quartet

    Costa Mesa · Segerstrom Center for the Arts, 600 Town Center Dr

    Brentano String Quartet presents a reflective program at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, tracing motifs of loss, introspection, and quiet tension through works by Beethoven and Mozart. Beethoven's F major Quartet, Op. 18 No. 1, from his early period, features a slow movement shaped by the tragic tomb scene in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. At the program's core is Mozart's D minor Quartet, K. 421, a searching chamber work noted for operatic urgency and striking dramatic power. The program concludes with Beethoven's F major Quartet, Op. 59 No. 1, part of the Razumovsky set, where the composer broadened the quartet's scale and expressive reach. Heard together, these pieces show how the string quartet can illuminate deeply felt emotional landscapes.

    Art Retreat

    Oceanside · North Coast Village, 999 N Pacific St

    A relaxed, build-your-own creative escape along the Southern California coast invites art lovers and travelers to craft the experience that fits their style. Spend time in Oceanside, Temecula, and Newport Beach, balancing beach days and exploration with beginner-friendly art workshops and plenty of free time to simply enjoy the coast. Two workshops are planned with separate Eventbrite registration. The Temecula session is $55 per person and includes the class plus a glass of wine, and the Oceanside session is $45 per person. Attendance is optional and open to both visitors and local residents. An optional evening at the Hidden Truths Art Show in Newport Beach features artwork by Melissa, with admission around $100 per person and not included. This is not a packaged tour, so participants arrange and pay for their own airfare, lodging, local transportation, meals, workshop tickets, and any optional activities. Estimated round-trip flights to Southern California are around $300 or more per person, depending on origin and booking choices. San Diego International is the preferred airport, with John Wayne, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs as alternatives. Limited free lodging is already accounted for by two travelers, and additional participants can consider a shared rental if something reasonably priced is found, or choose their own accommodations. Ride sharing and splitting local transportation costs may be coordinated when it makes sense. The experience is designed to be flexible, whether someone wants to attend both workshops, only one, explore coastal towns, or simply unwind by the ocean.

    Sabor a Yucatán – Vaporcitos

    Los Angeles · LA Cocina de Gloria Molina

    Explore the flavors of Yucatán by learning how to make vaporcitos, petite and tender steamed tamales from southern Mexico. This hands-on class focuses on creating corn masa parcels filled with ground pork seasoned with achiote recado, an annatto seed paste, tucked into banana leaves, and finished with a simple tomato sauce. Guest chef Dora Herrera of YUCA'S leads the instruction and shares insights from a family tradition that spans decades. Recognized by the James Beard Foundation with an America’s Classics honor, Herrera is the daughter of Socorro Herrera, who launched YUCA'S in 1976 to celebrate Yucatán cooking. Her stewardship has strengthened the restaurant’s legacy, earning loyal fans and praise, and helping cement YUCA'S as a cherished fixture in Los Angeles. This class is part of a tamal series that delves into the many regional styles found across Mexico. Known in Nahuatl as tamalli, the tamal is a corn masa bundle that can take on different shapes and sizes and hold a wide range of fillings. Deeply tied to celebrations and ancestral remembrance, tamales continue to bring families together through modern tamaladas. Participants practice key techniques, including preparing masa, building a flavorful filling, and folding and wrapping with corn husks or banana leaves to keep this time-honored craft alive.

    Country Risque and more

    Costa Mesa · The Wayfarer, 843 W 19th St

    Country Risque, Andy Bender, and Glue Shoe share the stage at The Wayfarer in Costa Mesa. Country Risqué is often billed as a risk-taking country band that blends classic honky-tonk with modern values, with songs that explore queer love and present-day disillusionment. Since debuting live in 2022, the group has become a fixture of San Francisco’s queer country scene. Singer-songwriters Miles Gordon and Daniel Bromfield first met in Eugene, Oregon almost ten years before forming the band, traded song ideas during the pandemic, then reunited in San Francisco to build a honky-tonk project around the contrast between Gordon’s rich, formally trained vocals and Bromfield’s relaxed deadpan. Their sound has evolved from a 1950s-influenced country base to a rougher, more electrified mix shaped by alt-country, heartland rock, and the Pacific Northwest. They have performed alongside Lilly Hiatt, Paisley Fields, Ty Walker and the Humanoids, and Secret Emchy Society. The current lineup features Richard Moog on lead guitar, Chris Kenyon on drums, and Sarah Parker on bass.

    Tour: Emergency Drinking Water Reservoir (Upper Chiquita Reservoir)

    Rancho Santa Margarita · Santa Margarita Water District Headquarters, 26111 Antonio Pkwy

    Take a guided look at the Emergency Drinking Water Reservoir, also known as the Upper Chiquita Reservoir, and see how Santa Margarita Water District works to keep local water supplies reliable even though it imports all of its domestic water. The tour focuses on why this facility was built to serve the community during both unexpected and planned interruptions to imported deliveries. Learn where the reservoir sits on the western slope of Chiquita Canyon, just north of Oso Parkway and Los Patrones Parkway, and get a sense of its scale, including a storage capacity of about 244 million gallons, roughly 750 acre-feet, with a surface area of approximately 17.8 acres. Recognized as the largest domestic water reservoir constructed in South Orange County in nearly 45 years and the first large-scale emergency potable water reservoir in the county in decades, it represents a regional partnership led by Santa Margarita Water District with Moulton Niguel Water District, the cities of San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente, and South Coast Water District. The visit also highlights the benefits of this infrastructure, such as the ability to supply upwards of 168,000 families with about 200 gallons of fresh water per day for a week during an emergency, along with the environmental planning measures included under the South Orange County Natural Community Conservation Plan to protect habitat and species while achieving an environmentally sensitive design.

    Tour: Wastewater Treatment Plant (Chiquita Water Reclamation Plant)

    Rancho Santa Margarita · Santa Margarita Water District Headquarters, 26111 Antonio Pkwy

    This tour focuses on the Chiquita Water Reclamation Plant and explains how local wastewater is transformed into recycled water through a roughly 24 hour process that includes primary, secondary, and tertiary treatment.

The program places recycled water in context for Southern California, where imported supplies are too valuable to use just once and where SMWD now meets about a quarter of its total demand with recycled water. It also highlights SMWD’s long term investments since its founding, the milestone of achieving 100 percent wastewater recycling with the opening of the Trampas Canyon reservoir in 2020, and the renewed goal of recycling 100 percent of wastewater by 2030 after expanding service to San Juan Capistrano. SMWD operates two reclamation plants. Chiquita can treat up to 10 million gallons per day, and Oso Creek treats 1.8 million gallons per day and was undergoing major improvements in 2022 and 2023.
