MAKIN' SOME NOISE FOR THE BEASTIE BOYS SHOW…read more Want a "Sure Shot" of the Beastie Boys? Don't miss the extraordinary exhibit at Control Gallery from Beyond the Streets. "Hey Ladies," "Rhymin & Stealin" and more play over the speakers as you peruse this cool collection of ephemera covering the Beastie Boys over the past 40 years (Can you believe it's been that long?). "Fight for Your Right" to see their photos, boom boxes, drum cases, posters, letters, dolls and video props. Note the letter from Madonna. Laugh at the lyrics written on a Four Seasons napkin about not getting served. My favorite? The hilarious missive from The Mondrian Hotel about the items that have been falling out of their window. While I'm not a big fan of their music, I am impressed with their lyrics, plenty of which you can read in their own handwriting here. There's also a Def Jam jacket Orlando Bloom wore in one of their videos and some tiny Army props from another. Want a piece of this? The gift shop has plenty of stuff for sale, or steal a copy of Beyond Control." "Shake Your Rump." Reserve a ticket (It's required!) and "Ch-Check it Out!"

SilverScreen Theater is a dream. Red. Green. Blue. Assorted buildings to guide you.... The Pacific Design Center is many things. It's shopping. It's art. It's culture. It's design. It's entertainment. PCD provides spaces for exhibitions, lectures, meetings, mixers, screenings, various special events, fashion shows and receptions among other engagements. I've been lucky enough to take in this building more than a couple of times, but most recently after several years and I appreciate it much more and the upgrades they've made. Parking can be maze like, but is relatively easy. We had a guide for rideshare drop offs and for navigating the parking lot ahead of time which made everything easy. After our event we had dinner on Melrose which gave time for the parking lot to quiet down with everyone leaving all at once. Staff for the event as well as for PCD were very helpful and personable. The main receptionist for the Green Building was off at 6pm on the dot like a lot of 9 to 6 folks, so inquire about information ahead of time.

The buildings themselves are striking and modern, with lots of natural light and open areas that make walking around feel enjoyable rather than overwhelming. Even if you're not there for business, it's still a nice spot to browse, get inspired, and take in the unique atmosphere. There are a variety of showrooms and design-focused businesses, so it feels very professional and polished overall. It can be a little quiet depending on the time of day, but that also adds to the calm, almost gallery-like vibe. Parking and navigation can take a bit of patience the first time you visit, but once you get familiar with the layout, it's a pleasant place to spend some time. Overall, it's a visually impressive destination that feels different from the usual shopping or office complexes.

STEPH JUDGMENT: Great gallery born out of the street art movement…read more I first heard about them in an LA Times article talking about their exhibit on the art of GWAR, the pioneering horror sci-fi rock band. I'd heard of Beyond the Streets before through various Art in the Streets exhibits, but had no idea that they now had a permanent physical home until I read that article. The hubby and I are longtime GWAR fans so had to go check it out! There's metered parking around the gallery, but you can also park for free on nearby neighborhoods streets. The gallery was quite sizable, with several exhibition rooms and a gift shop, of course. It's free to enter, and the exhibit was really great. Since then the hubby and I've returned for the Shepard Fairey exhibit and are looking forward to coming back for more!

Being able to be so close to some of the stage costumes of my favorite band was a truly amazing experience. The entire setup was very well thought out, and I easily spent way more time here than I would have expected. The studio isn't huge, which was a bit of a let down, but their space was certainly maximized for the art. The gift shop was nice as well, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the mixing of merch for GWAR with other past exhibits. It felt like they could have been a bit more organized about that. Parking is street in LA so you have to have realistic expectations. I did have some issues with the parking meters out front that did not like my debit cards, so it took a few tries at a few spots before finding somewhere that worked. I don't count this against them because that's LAs fault, just wanted to share it with all readers here. Overall, it was an experience I made and was absolutely necessary for a Bohab like me.

Also just happened to visit a gallery the day before the closing date of the three artists, so they invited us to the closing!

Stopped by the store and meandered around the new exhibits until my artist friend found the perfect gift for an upcoming birthday!
