Wistaria in Full Bloom, Pancakes & Booze
It's officially Spring and the Wistaria is in full bloom.
FUN WISTARIA FACTS:
The Guinness Book certified Sierra Madre's 118 year-old Wistaria Vine as the World's Largest Blossoming Plant.
Wistaria can also be spelled wisteria.
Recognize the name? The 'Desperate Housewives' live on Wisteria Lane.
Wistaria is a member of the pea family.
See these purple blooming beauties at the Sierra Madre Wistaria Festival.
You can read more and see a video on our Plus Sized Plant Takes Over Town.
BIG IS BETTER
Another 'big' event is LA's Largest Underground Art Show: Pancakes & Booze.
BIG CHANGES
Angel's Flight raises fares to 50 cents (still a bargain really - major fun factor involved), but Metro pass holders get a 50% discount - exit the Metro Red Line at the Pershing Square Station and head towards the 4th street exit - Angel's Flight is across from the Grand Central Market.
SUNDAY RAINY SUNDAY:
Duck inside for these rainy day adventures that won't leave you wet.
TIP: you can find events and other things to do near you - you'll find neighborhood and regional calendar links at the bottom of all Eye Spy LA web pages.
Join us on EyeSpyLA's Facebook page. Say hello and feel free to write on our wall.
Happy Weekend! --Andrea Kirk (editor@eyespyla.com)

THE SPIDEY PROJECT: WITH ZERO MONEY COMES A FUNNY PRODUCTION
By M.R. Hunter
Apparently, audiences can't get enough of Spider-Man whether it's the tricked out, aerial and injury prone version on Broadway or the Underoo-wearing hero on a 99 Store budget variety, Spider-Man in whatever form continues to draw audiences into his multifarious onstage web.
At least you won't have to worry about one of the actors falling on your head, because this cardboard set parody isn't swinging through the rafters, but it is a lot of fun.

COLORBLIND: THE MANY MISTRESSES OF MARTIN LUTHER KING
By Samuel Bernstein
The story of Andrew Dolan's new play, The Many Mistresses of Martin Luther King, has nothing to do with Martin Luther King directly-but in another sense, it has everything to do with Dr. King. It seeks to define his legacy through the lives of modern people. What do we think about race in America? What do we say? What do we hide?
Simon is a white professor and writer, surrounded by African Americans, who imagines himself colorblind. In some ways that's true. Regardless of race or upbringing, he expects everyone to meet the same high standards: His. Yet he is astoundingly blind to the issues of color that affect those whose skin color actually differs from his...
