This time around, she takes on The Theatre at Ace Hotel for a night of conversation and discussion of anything and everything and a lot of what grinds Lebowitz’s gears. [More info]
Puppy Bowl Pup Rally February 4, Fox Hills

Annual Free-For-All Museum Day February 5, Los Angeles

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the Japanese American National Museum, and Descanso Gardens will all have no-cost entry. [More info]

Check out Julie Taymor’s visionary The Lion King this weekend for a unique take on the modern classic. [More info]
