weekend events around downtown

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — There’s a lot going on downtown this weekend, so I thought I’d take a second to point out a couple things:

• Saturday and Sunday the Brewery art complex is having their Autumn Artwalk. Kathleen at blogging.la posted a good tease for event. I’ve never made it up that way, but it should be cool.
• Saturday night Artistsalon is hosting “the big picture” in the Spring Arts building, just a couple blocks up the street from me. It’s art, it’s short films, it’s music – basically it’s a crazy amount of cool stuff going on in one place on one night and it’s all just a $5 cover. Come out and help Jason lose less money.
• Sunday is the Grand Avenue Festival, taking place on, uh, Grand Avenue, outside the Disney Hall. Food, music, and much much more. Hey, they’re shutting down a big section of street. We might as well get to use it for a change, instead of just getting annoyed at having to take a detour.

Of course my Saturday is going to be dominated by ASU coming to town to put their #15 ranking on the line in the Coliseum. 12:30pm start, and it’s an ABC regional game. I’m afraid I’ll get out of that too late to hit up the Brewery event on Sat, but I might try to squeeze both that and Grand Ave. in Sunday. We’ll see.
