HORSES & BUGGIES AND HAM IN SPACE
The Griffith Observatory is offering free lectures in the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theatre over the next week as they continue to celebrate the Apollo missions to the Moon. This Sunday afternoon find out all about the flight of Ham the Chimp, the first homonid in space.
HORSES & BUGGIES
If you love horses, you may want to go to the Sierra Empire Arabian Horse Show. If you prefer buggies, especially the souped up kind, check out the Grand National Roadster Show. Both of these events will be at LA County Fairplex this weekend. Or if you prefer buggies laden with food, you can play the ponies and eat well too at the Santa Anita Food Truck Festival on Saturday.
ReFRESHing Discount Deals this week:
FRESH AIR - challenge mind and body at the beach in the Amazing Santa Monica Race
FRESH FISH - go sport fishing or whale watching for half price
MORE DEALS...
IF IT'S COLD OUTSIDE - duck inside a cozy theater and see a classic film, check the FILM calendar for this week's schedule. Or for even more coziness squeeze inside a small theatre for a live performance by one of L.A'.s many fine small theatre groups. Check the Theatre calendar for current plays in L.A. Perhaps a little mystery with your dinner would be more to your liking - discount tickets are available to Keith & Margo's Murder Mystery Dinner.
ALSO THIS WEEK:
The Grammy Go Seek Scavenger Hunt- how much to you know about music?
Enjoy some wine and cheese while you paint your next masterpiece at the Paint:Lab in Santa Monica.
Take the Biennial Art Bus from LA to OCMA.
PLAN AHEAD: next weekend is Chinese New Year and that means it is time for my favorite parade, the Golden Dragon Parade in Chinatown, next Saturday. Also Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.
There's more of course ...
Get all the details and the full list here or, if you prefer some psychic advice before you make any moves, scroll below for Cici's Eyestrology forecast for the coming week.

"FREE" FLOATS BUT DOESN'T SOAR @ [INSIDE] THE FORD By M.R. Hunter
As director Wendy Worthington succinctly phrases it in her program notes, "This play is about a man who can float." The irony then is that the show never really gets off the ground. It hovers, instead, between the fanciful and the farcical without a firm grasp on either.
With such a magical premise and a terrific cast, it's difficult to dislike this production outright, but the story does not move. The fault is mostly with the text and although the interpretation is at times overzealous, this production does an admirable job of overcoming its inherent weaknesses..

MARCH DOWN TO "ME, AS A PENGUIN" AT THE LOST STUDIO By M.R. Hunter
"A drop-stitch isn't the end of the world." For Stitch (Brendan Hunt), his world starts to unravel after stealing a baby penguin. Seeing himself in the runt that can't "get any," Stitch impulsively hides the animal in his nephew's Transformer lunch box before stowing it in his sister's bathroom shower.
This is the odd but brilliantly irreverent premise to Tom Wells' American premiere of his London play, which opened last year at the Arcola Theatre to rave reviews...
