Friday
 · A Friday night of musical delights: Morningwood at the Roxy, Of Montreal at The Echo; INXS at the Gibson Ampitheatre at CityWalk; Morris Tepper at Tangier, with PJ Harvey sitting in on bass. That's right, bitches, PJ's gonna be there.
· Writer Paul La Farge reads from his translation of The Facts of Winter at the Museum of Jurassic Technology, a cool place we still haven't been to despite five years of good intentions.
Saturday
 · Saturday night music round-up, with optional celebrity musical appearance: The Gossip and Numbers at The Echo; Dead Kennedys at the House of Anything But Blues (as Jonesy likes to call it) on Sunset; and Marla "Use to be on The Practice" Sokoloff, whom we had no idea had a music thing going, at the Mint.
· Bust out the can of Aquanet, the leather pants, and a desire to get herpes from a member of Whitesnake for Rock of Ages at The Vanguard Theater, a rock musical straight outta 1986 Hollywood.
Sunday
 · WordTheaterLA presents "Dinner with Melissa Pritchard and Her Stories" at M bar, where the writer and some of her friends will read her work at a venue with booze, something not as commonly available at those boring old bookstore readings. [via LAW]
· A traveling Marilyn Monroe exhibit makes its first stop aboard the Queen Mary, where you can see "priceless objects" from her life. Not guaranteed to attend: The ghost of Marilyn Monroe.
