Valentine's Day is fast approaching and LBPP will be hosting a special event dubbed "My Big FAT Greek Valentine's" @ George's Greek Cafe on Pine avenue. Come party by the fountain while you drink, dine, & dance the night away. The party starts at 6pm and goes till 11pm on February, 14th, and all ages are welcome!. $30 ($25 if you register on the LBPP guest list) gets you a 6 item unlimited buffet dinner which includes: Gyro (Lamb & Beef), Pita, Spanakopites (Filo triangles stuffed with feta and spinach), Keftehes (Greek meatballs), Tomato+Feta+Olive skewers, and Humus & Tzantziki dips will be served along with 2 complimentary drink tickets good for wells, beers, and house wine. Your 2 drink tickets are also good for a drawing for a $40 George's Gift Card.
The night will also feature live music provided by local band Majic Bullet Theory, a jazz, indie, funk, fusion outfit playing 2 sets at 7pm and 9pm, and live painting by local artists Daniel Quinonez. All paintings done the night of the event will be silently auctioned off to benefit local charity Gazette Hearts for Long Beach.
Like art? Like music? How about a mashup of both? Live painting to live music is the theme for the new Stoney Pines Gallery that is now open at 517 Pine Ave. in Downtown Long Beach. In a partnership with the DLBA, local art organizations have developed temporary working gallery spaces in vacant commercial space along the Pine Avenue corridor. LBPP was excited to hear more art coming to all the empty and lifeless store fronts in downtown LB, so we decided to jump on board with the cause and present you some great local artists and musicians in this new art gallery. Keep your eye out for more spaces, activities and events.
Join LBPP and Tinderbox! Saturday, January, 23rd as we kick off this brand new art space on Pine ave. with live music by The Ming Band & Fastforward_Rewind Dj's. This FREE event starts at 7pm and ends at 10pm so you have plenty of time to stop by before the night gets crackin'.
People are broke damn it! Well, the economy has taken its toll on everyone that I know, which is why LBPP has decided to do a local toy drive! Bring a toy valued at $5 or more to Taco Beach on December 19th and get 2 for 1 drinks from 8-11pm. Wear your ugliest sweater too, because we are giving away prizes for THE ugliest! Be some local kids secret santa and spread some of that holidaze goodness. All toys will be distributed locally by Christian Outreach in Action.
Its that time of year again, where we dust off our tri-corn hats, polish our swords and daggers, and drink our faces off like the dirty PUNK ROCK PIRATES we are! Come join LBPP at our 4th Annual Punk Rock Pirate Party on September 19th at the beautiful outdoor venue "County Line". More info soon!
Ahhh, a long day at work... which sucks, but one of my favorite things to do AFTER work is to meet up with some friends and have a few Happy Hour drinks! Turns out the people over at The District Magazine feel the same way! Come out to The Rhythm Lounge on Thursday, September 3rd for the "Happiest of Hours!" and happy hour party hosted by the District with music provided by LBPP local bands! This event is FREE until 8pm, and just $3 after 8pm, come out and support your local music scene.
