WHAT WOULD JANICE DO?
7 p.m. @ The El Rey Theater

If anything is to be learned by watching VH1's The Surreal Life it's that Janice Dickinson, the self-proclaimed world's first supermodel, loves herself. She loves herself so much that it's fair to assume that's all she knows how to talk about. So it seems fitting that she will be doing just that in her own autobiographical one-woman show. Audience members can expect an outrageous cabaret-style evening, with rants about the modeling world, her rise to fame, her encounters with the rich, famous and certifiably insane. Word has it that her celebrity gossip will be no-holds-barred and she's just as happy to claw her way through her "Model"-ing experience without holding back on the real dirt. Oh, and did we mention she was the world's first supermodel.

What Would Janice Do? will be held at the EL Rey Theatre which is located at 5515 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. For more info on the show, visit www.janicelive.com

STRUNG OUT
7: 30 p.m. @ Latitudes

Yes, the rumors are true. Strung Out will be playing in the South Bay, (for the first time ever, might I add) which is pretty much guaranteed to cause a frenzy.
Although the South Bay is known to be the breeding grounds for popular bands such as Pennywise, the Descendents and Black Flag, there's, unfortunately, just not enough venues to hear them. And, the last great venue for live music is about close its doors for good, leaving literally no where left for bands to play. But at least we'll know that the last show will be a memorable one. After all, it's STRUNG OUT!
It's often hard to be punk, melodic and catchy without sounding a bit contrived, however, Strung Out has been able to do it time and again with sincerity and vengeance. Their live shows are always razor sharp and tons of fun, but prepare yourself for crowd unpredictability, because anything can and will happen.

Lattitudes is located at 239 N. Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach. For about infor about the show, visit www.southbaypunk.com.

AFRICAN MARKETPLACE CULTURAL FAIRE @ CHINATOWN'S CENTRAL PLAZA

The very best of African Culture can be found at Exposition Park this weekend as the Africa Marketplace celebrates its 20th anniversary. Since 1986 Angelenos have gathered for a summertime celebration of the diverse cultures of the African Diaspora with the annual African Marketplace and Cultural Faire. In 2002 the ever-growing event made the move to the expansive environs of Exposition Park, allowing more room for the vendors, events and the 250,000 visitors who enjoy the sounds and flavors of African culture during this dramatic three-day weekend extravaganza. More than 200 merchants sell crafts and clothing ranging in origin from Africa to the Caribbean and Brazil. Four entertainment stages present a non-stop flow of diverse music and dance performances, while the Little Africa Youth Village offers crafts workshops, music classes, storytelling and a petting zoo specially geared to the kids. A Health Fair provides information and referrals for a variety of medical issues, as well as simple screenings for a range of conditions. A range of African American authors make appearances at the Literary Village throughout the festival, reading from their works and signing books. Collectors can shop the Fine Arts Pavilion for African woodcarvings and masks, and when you've strolled your way to exhaustion, the Ethnic Restaurant Pavilion offers a range of delightfully different options for refueling.

The African Marketplace Cultrual Faire takes place at the the Los Angeles Coliseum. For more info on the event and entertainment schedules, visit www.africanmarketplace.org

ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW FEATURING LOUIS XIV
6 p.m. @ the Hollywood Bowl

Step into the time warp again with the 30th anniversary of cult hit The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The show will be celebrated in front of a massive audience with a screening of the film as it is staged in real time by Midnight Insanity, a theater troupe from Long Beach that regularly performs the show. Not to be upstaged, the so-hot-right-now band Louis XIV will open the festivities.
Rocky Horror would be nothing without its fanatical and fantastical audience. They’re known to dress up as their favorite characters at shows, wearing everything from Frank’s pearls and naughty hooker get-up to Columbia’s (Nell Campbell) sequined tux to Magenta’s (Patricia Quinn) flirty maid outfit. It’s long been a tradition for fans to involve themselves in the action of the screenings or plays (as Rocky Horror was a stage production before it was ever a film).
But that’s not all. The Hollywood Bowl encourages full audience participation at this show. This "participation" has usually entailed lines being shouted out by enthusiastic viewers, often culminating with various objects being thrown into the air at key moments. During a wedding, the audience throws rice; when Frank calls for a toast at dinner, slices of toast are tossed; confetti is thrown when Frank and Rocky head to the bedroom for a private moment. The audience also arms themselves with water guns, which they shoot when Brad and Janet are caught in a rainstorm, and party hats to wear when Frank dons one during dinner.
Joining in the Rocky Horror fun is Louis XIV, whose glam-rock songs, attitude and fashion will fit right in with the fun, flashy, costumed audience. Opening for the film, the band that has been hailed as the "second coming of T-Rex" will perform a whole set in this music-film combo event. Rolling Stone named them one of "10 Bands to Watch in 2005," due in no small part to their catchy first single "Finding Out True Love is Blind."
Skip that string quartet and you’re in for a night of campy, trashy fun amongst your fellow eccentric movie lovers.

The Hollywood Bowl is located at 2301 N. Highland Ave., in Hollywood. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (213) 365-3500 or visit www.hollywoodbowl.com
