To Do: Your Pre-Holiday Weekend Bullet Points

Friday
· Music round-up: Dan the Automator at the El Rey; The Blood Arm at the Echo, Dressy Bessy at El Cid.
· Over the weekend the Aero is showing five Pink Panther films—and not one of them is the shitty remake with Steve Martin! You owe it to yourself to attend. [via Flavorpill]
Saturday
· The UCB Theatre again hosts The Dirtiest Sketch in LA contest, where filthy-minded performers try to outporn each other in under three minutes. We heard a girl took out her boobs in the last one, so who knows what you'll see this time.
· Marc Joseph signs his new book of photographs, New and Used, which features essays, short fiction and poetry by Lydia Davis, Stephen Elliot, Thurston Moore, Jonathan Lethem (and others!) , at Arcana Books in Santa Monica.
Sunday
· More music: Silversun Pickups and Irving at the Troubadour; Guns N' Roses at the Universal Amphitheatre; The Temporary Thing at Spaceland.
· We do this "blog" stuff for a living and we have no idea what a "blogzine brain-share" consists of, but we're sure that boosters of the incredibly exciting medium that's streamlined the sharing of photos of Britney Spears' vagina will be interested in this event at The Bungalow Club on Melrose.
