The Indie Rock Easel
It's not often that a night of watching fantastic local bands also offers the chance to design and print up a personalized t-shirt — and helps a good cause. Yet, the all-lady musicians behind I Heart, a nonprofit foundation raising money for local charities, have decided to create exactly that with the Indie Rock Easel. This one-night-only event showcases musicians Buddy, WAZ, Arrica Rose, Liz McGrath (aka Miss Derringer), the Deadly Syndrome, Anni Rossi, and more for a night of live entertainment, an open bar, and limited-edition heat-press t-shirt designs. All profits go to Sojourn Services for Battered Women & their Children and the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. – Jessica Jardine

CHAPIN SISTERS tonight at Silverlake Lounge
"Their three-part harmonies are like the rabbit from Monty Python And The Holy Grail; cute and fluffy from a distance, but, on closer inspection, fierce, angry, and possessing sharp claws." - Nylon
"The Chapins perform a kitschy blend of of traditional country and contemporary urban folk, writing songs that smartly take their cues from the amalgam of Kris Kristofferson, Carly Simon and Carter Family catalogs. And yes, while this could easily be called folk pop, or even folk-lite, it is not to be confused with the ilk of Jewel. No, the Chapin sisters displayed some class, sass and originality." - LA Weekly
"Their musical style blends traditional folk harmonies with an Indie-rock moodiness (think Crosby Stills Nash & Young meets Cat Power.) The Chapin Sisters' lo-fi originals are gorgeous and melancholy, while their covers are haunting and strangely unfamiliar." - CD Baby

The 3rd Annual Dwell on Design
Conference + Exhibition + Home Tours
Los Angeles, June 5-8, 2008
Dwell always goes big for Dwell on Design, the magazine's annual festival of aesthetics that's equal parts conference, product exhibition, and home tour. During the massive four-day event, more than 50 speakers discuss city-planning policies, pre-fab architecture, sustainable living, and everything in between. Full-scale structures landscaped and furnished by Dwell showcase cutting-edge design and construction methods. And, in case the more than 200 exhibitors don't make you feel at home, numerous residence tours let you examine houses in LA's Westside and Downtown neighborhoods. Most days are capped off by a cocktail party, where the magazine's editors mix and mingle with conference speakers and attendees. – Jessica Jardine
Note: Register for free tickets to the Dwell Design Exhibition (priority code: BDODEC), a discounted conference pass (priority code: GRP22SP)
