Friday
 · Gnarls Barkley (featuring Danger Mouse & Cee-Lo) will be at the Roxy for a not-so-secret show in, oh, about three hours. Leave now.
· The ArcLight screens Water with a Q&A with the director's daughter, the author of Shooting Water, the story of how the two reconnected. Got that? No? Then read this.
Saturday
 · In case you live under the proverbial rock, Saturday is the first day of Coachella. Have fun in the desert with 70,000 or so of your best friends.
· Literary supergroup Rock Bottom Remainders (Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, Scott Turow, Amy Tan, Mitch Albom, Matt Groening, Kathi Kamen Goldmark, and Greg Iles) put on a benefit concert for 826LA at UCLA's Royce Hall. You really haven't lived until you've seen Dave Barry rock out with his cock out.
Sunday
 · Day two of Coachella has you tired, broken, and wishing you were home on the couch, but overcome any quitter's impulse by taking some more drugs to ride out any moments of weakness.
· Those not still stranded in Indio can relax at the spoken-word Tongue & Groove event at the Hotel Cafe.
