To Do: Your Weekend Marching Orders

Friday
· Cold War Kids at the Silverlake Lounge; the Hotel Cafe celebrates its sixth anniversary with Cary Brothers and a cast of thousands; the BellRays at Safari Sam's.
· LACMA screens commercials from 2006's British Television Advertising Awards. While sitting through a bunch of American commercials would probably be annoying, there's something slightly exotic about watching ones from across the pond. Slightly. [via flavorpill]
· Zach "Pervy Jesus" Galifianakis and friends gather at Largo.
Saturday
· Old 97s frontman Rhett Miller does a solo show at the Troubadour; Girl Talk at the Echo; Great Northern at the Little Radio Warehouse.
· Author Cissy Wechter signs Sex & the 60s, about how she put the sex back in sexagenarian after finding herself widowed late in life, at Book Soup. Yeah, we're not really proud of that one, but the SexagenarianBack joke was too clumsy to work in.
Sunday
· The New Beverly does a monosyllabically titled double feature with Hair and Fame.
· NYT film critic Manohla Dargis and architectural critic Nicolai Ouroussoff join up in a Hammer Conversation about how L.A. is portrayed in film, media, and architecture.
