· LACMA celebrates its 40th anniversary by throwing a huge party—a bash, if you will—that's going all night, with a variety of DJs, music, and a couple of film screenings—including Crash, but you should be able to avoid seeing it without too much problem.
· Some Thursday night music: John Doe presents Howe Gelb at Largo; The Slow Signal Fade at The Troubadour; Deadboy and the Elephantmen at Spaceland; Controlling the Famous at Knitting Factory.
· Director Tiffany Shlain premieres her short film, The Tribe ("An unorthodox, unauthorized history of the Jewish people and the Barbie doll...in about 15 minutes") at the Egyptian, with the obligatory hott Q&A action after the screening.
