Culture Freak L.A.

The other night, In true Halloween spirit, my friends and I snuck into the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to do a seance. We hopped the fence and dodged a security guard. I channeled my best Sam via ‘Now and Then’ and rocked it out.  If one were not opposed to doing illegal things, this was quite fun. Just sayin’.

If you haven’t already been, Weho on Halloween is pretty much awesome. There is a parade and a ‘costume carnaval’ each year. This years festivities take place on Monday Oct. 31, (Halloween) from 6pm-11pm. La Cienega/Santa Monica Blvd. is close to being the center of it all. Expect traffic, live music, crazy costumes and a surprisingly peaceful crowd enjoying the night. Oh, and lots of bacon wrapped hot dogs.

I have been producing a zombie project for work, so anything zombie, has been catching my attention. This event actually looks pretty awesome! Here is how it was described on the ticket website:

“Living Dead Uprising is a unique mobile gaming experience in Los Angeles. For two nights only the dead will rise and take over the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz. Join the ranks of a budding zombie revolution against the delicious humans. The game is part mobile scavenger hunt, part trivia game and part costume contest.”

They provide zombie make-up but players are encouraged to dress up themselves. An $18.00 pass earns you entry and 2 free drink tickets. Taking place Thursday, Oct. 20th and 27th at the Los Feliz bar, 1739 Public House – just in time for Halloween!
