The Downtown Art Walk Review (In Which I Pretend I Know Fuck-all About Art)
11:10AM Defamer Hollywood | As an ex-New Yorker who is brand spanking new to L.A., the concept of downtown being a dead zone is quite strange. And having only driven through late at night (going the wrong way, on a one-way street, natch) I was curious to see what an L.A. downtown art walk would be like (held every second Thursday of the month from 12 to 9). Art Walks in Seattle’s Pioneer Square were fun, but were too often filled with “Look ma, I has knitted you a rainbow hat!”–a/k/a bad hippie art. And the Chelsea Art Walks in NYC were impenetrable and thick with snobbery and unintentional comedy: rich people wearing all black, posing seriously in front of pictures with their heads cocked just so to the sides. L.A.’s version proved to be far more pleasant and interesting–exhilarating even. Won’t you join along as I take you on a photographic tour? More »

8:14AM Seth | As we all know by now, Harold and Kumar 2 features Neil Patrick Harris on a unicorn, a decision equivalent to the producers reaching into our wallet personally and removing the 11 dollars from its musty confines. Revealing some details of the not-particularly-closely-guarded plot to nymag.com, Harris says: “It’s the very next day, so I’m still the same Neil Patrick Harris you saw before. I have not attempted rehab. I might have gone on another bender since you’ve seen me. Maybe not on the same drug. Maybe a new drug.” Asked about the unicorn, he added, “It was a little hard…. I had to ride it without a saddle, and it was in a green-screen room, and I had to ride it up a ramp and turn around. And this unicorn is very unfamiliar with a crew and green screen, and you don’t have a saddle to hold on to. So there was lots of calming, nurturing touches…. It was very Horse Whisperer-y.” Towleroad already burned the barebacking joke, so we’ll just leave you with a wish of being greeted tonight by NPH-on-a-unicorn dreams. [nymag.com] More »
