11:00am |<\/strong> First Fridays<\/a> is always a good time. Bixby Knolls<\/a> is loaded with interesting restaurants, innovative gallery and performance spaces, and eclectic retail. <\/p>\n

Many people are drawn to the grandure of the Expo Building, which has two galleries, a theatre, and fun activities for young and old alike. Still, further South, all kinds of fun stuff goes on. <\/p>\n

For example, monster musicial genius Orlando Greenhill<\/a> will be at Elise’s Tea Room [3924 Atlantic Avenue], throwing down the gauntlet and challenging everyone to musical duels. Bring an instrument, or just your voice, and he’ll play with you. I’m so there! <\/p>\n

Salon Medusa [4232 Atlantic] is hosting local favorite Mike the Poet<\/a>, The Potential Lunatics<\/a>, and art by Scott Hamilton. <\/p>\n

At 9 PM, the fire dancing troupe Sirena Serpentina<\/a> will be performing in the parking lot of Nino’s Restaurant [3853 Atlantic] and, after 10, they’ll be hosting the hot new game: Drink & Draw! <\/p>\n

Gallery Expo [4321 Atlantic] is presenting “California’s Cool Car Culture,” a collection of sculptures, installations, and photographs. Also inside the Expo building, catch the acoustic jazz stylings of Timbreline<\/a>, and visit the Jones Gallery. <\/p>\n

First Fridays is a great opportunity to discover Bixby Knolls, catch some great art, enjoy music, get some dinner, and otherwise have a good time. I’ll see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
