Easter Eggs & Meatballs

 

Hop to it this weekend! Make like Peter Rabbit and go on a hike or take a Horseback Ride in the Moonlight. If you've had more Cadbury's than you can stomach then laugh it off with the hilarious Meatballs of Comedy (FREE by mentioning EyeSpyLA on Saturday).   
Stoney Point
Stoney Point in Chatsworth has long been a local mecca for hikers and rock climbers.

EASTER HIGHLIGHTS:

 EGG-CELLENT EVENTS: 

PLAN AHEAD:
  • A special screening of Chinatown at the Orpheum on April 14th - a rare chance to see a classic film at a classic theatre. Also take note: LA Conservancy's annual Last Remaining Seats tickets will go on sale to the public then as well. Tickets are on sale now to members - become a member and get your tickets sooner. They sell out fast!
  • CicLAvia - the long awaited closing of Downtown LA to allow biking, skating, strolling, walking, and just plain joyous hanging out on the streets April 15th. View our video of last April's event.  

BEER & ART: I went to the Spring Brewery Art Walk last Sunday - photos here.

They Won't Stay Dead! In "Urban Death"
 By M.R. Hunter

If you recognize the tagline to this classic zombie film, then you're the perfect victim for Zombie Joe's Underground inurbane "Urban Death" back by popular demand.

Urban Death  
 

Pregnant women and those suffering from heart conditions should probably pass on this immersive sensory experience as total darkness precedes each scene. For everyone else who enjoys things that go bump in the night, you won't be disappointed here...

A New Kind of Brew to Get Addicted to One Dripp At a Time
By  Abby Abanes  
 

What's unique about this coffee? Dripp  

 

It's so concentrated that it takes 8 to 10 hours to brew, approximately 42 drips per minute. This process literally removes all the acidity and bitterness in the coffee and what you're left with is a drink that is smooth, sweet and dark.

 

What Dripp is really about is their coffee and the majority of their coffee comes from Intelligentsia and Espresso Republic. At the Dripp Bar, coffee is prepared two different ways, iced or hot. Their cold coffee is prepared using Japanese Oji Coffee Drippers, which had to be exported from Japan.    

 

When it comes to their hot coffee, each one is ground and dripped to order. First, you choose from 4 to 5 coffee beans that are available that day, then the beans are ground just for your specific coffee. From start to finish, the process takes 3 to 5 minutes...

 As long as I've been performing my Big Retro Holiday Slide Shows, funny Easter lambcakes have been part of them.

Year after year, I've threatened to buy one of those classic two-piece aluminum lambcake molds and bake one myself. This was the year!
