Psychedelic Healing Visions: A Celebration of Lavender Diamond’s film “Imagine Our Love”

“A night of song, dance and visions in celebration of the upcoming Lavender Diamond music film Imagine Our Love, a visual accompaniment to the band’s album of the same name. This Earth liberation fashion fantasy is a fairy tale of kaleidoscopic proportions! Starring Lavender Diamond vocalist Becky Stark, directed by Maximilla Lukacs (projection artist for the Entrance Band) and with art direction by Alia Penner, the film is an extravaganza featuring Busby Berkeley-style dance numbers, animation, luxurious costumes and interplanetary ballet. For the evening, we are presenting a very special variety show with guest star performances and a sneak preview of healing visions (footage from the film!) Raffles, limited edition posters made by Alia Penner and all sorts of surprise treats for sale! Come celebrate! Peace on Earth forever!”

Tickets – $15/$12 for members

Gary Panter Night of music and movies!

This Monday, May 26th at 7pm

“Family is proud to host a night of music and movies with the legendary artist Gary Panter in conjunction with the release of his new two volume monograph. Gary will be giving a rare musical performance at Family with artist/muiscian Devin Flynn, followed by a signing.

“Then at 8pm, Gary will host a screening of one of his favorite movies, Fellini Satryicon down the block at The Silent Movie Theatre!

“More on Gary Panter: One of the most influential artists alive, Panter is a Recipient of the Chrysler Design award in 2000 and known to many as the “father of punk comics”. Gary Panter has been everything from an underground cartoonist to an interior designer (for a children’s playroom inside the Philippe Starck-designed Paramount Hotel in New York) to filmmaker (his Pink Donkey and the Fly series can be seen online at Cartoon Network’s web site). He is also the creator of Jimbo, a “post-nuclear punk-rock” cartoon character whose adventures were first chronicled as a comic strip in the ’70s LA hardcore-punk paper Slash and later in RAW Magazine.

“More on Fellini Satryicon: In Fellini’s bizarre, druggy adaptation of Petronius’s ancient Roman text, two attractive students (Martin Potter and Hiram Keller) fight it out over a young boy, which sets them all off on a series of bizarre adventures involving hermaphrodites, impotence potions, dwarfs, and opulent costumes and sets from such greats as Dante Ferretti and Danilo Donati. The obvious inspiration for Caligula, it remains the wildest Roman spectacle of them all and cheerfully revels in the fact that it makes no damn sense, right up to the cliffhanger final scene. Many critics hated this when it opened, but it’s now rightfully regarded as a classic.

“Come join us for what will be an amazing night of radness.”

“Friday, May 9th, 2008
At 5:30pm starting in Santa Monica, 28 bicyclists took surface streets to the 1-10 Fwy at Bundy and rode 0.44 miles to the I-405 N on-ramp and rode another 1.56 miles to the Santa Monica Blvd. exit during rush hour. The ramp to the I-405 N was a steep grade and 0.65 miles in length. Riders spanned a total of 2.0 freeway miles.
The group of riders also hung a 20’x6′ banner on the 17th street overpass overlooking the eastbound I-10 Freeway in Santa Monica that read RIDE A BIKE YOU’D BE HOME BY NOW.
The sign remained in place for over 48 hours.”
