News out of Manchester, TN. Bonnaroo 2010 now has dates you can touch-type into your iCalendars: June 10-13, 2010. (Was it always 4 days?) Ticket pre-sale begins on 11/27 and runs through 12/31. Handy layaway plan of five $50 payment is available. No word on the headliners or any of the line-up as of yet. Let the wild speculation begin.
Quick heads up here from the Losanjealous Ticket Update Desk: If you were planning on picking up an “Off Da Hook” ticket package for the hotly anticipated The Guy Fieri Roadshow 12/17 date at Gibson Amphitheater, we’re sorry to have to let you know that you are out of luck–they are now sold out.
Your “Off Da Hook” package ($250.25 + service fee) would have included a seat on stage with the man himself, so everyone in the audience can see you, as well as:
- Tour Laminate
- A copy of Guy’s More Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: A Drop Top Culinary Cruise Through America’s Finest and Funkiest Joints
- 2 Squirt Bottles
- Pre-Show Meet and Greet
The good news is that there are still “Kulinary Krew” packages ($150.25 + service fee) available. It includes everything the “Off Da Hook” package includes–the tour laminate, the copy of Guy’s book, the 2 squirt bottles and the pre-show meet and greet–however your seat is in the first 7 rows, not on the stage.
If for some reason you cannot make the show, Guy Fieri brand squirt bottles are available at the Food Network online store ($9.95/2-pack).

The Golem w/Live Score @ REDCAT Sat Oct 31 (ALL HALLOWS’ EVE)
Creepy German Expressionism at its finest: The Golem: How He Came Into the World gets the musical treatment it deserves this evening and tomorrow, downtown ‘neath the Disney Hall. These two screenings will feature a live score by Brian LeBarton (Beck’s music director and keyboardist) with special guest Carla Azar (Autolux) and more. Personally I’m stoked; these shows have been on the calendar ever since Brian told us about them! If you have no plans for Halloween, or your plans run on the late side Saturday, why not enter to win a pair of tickets to the Saturday screening by sending me your first and last name right here. Winner will be notified EOD; the film starts promptly at 830pm both nights. I’ll be there as well, so come say hello and if you’re in costume, go ahead, see if you can earn one of five existing pieces of our beyond-limited-edition-at-this-point Losanjealous 2009 OkiTaffy. Huzzah!

Lucha VaVOOM @ Mayan Wed Oct 28
Lucha VaVOOM @ Mayan Thu Oct 29
Last Halloween, a friend came into work raving about a party that featured Mexican Wrestling and Burlesque. My immediate reaction: Who spiked the punch bowl?
Thus began my fascination with Lucha VaVOOM, the cult theater sensation that co-creator Rita D’Albert touts as being “unabashedly LA.” The show is back on it’s home stage at the Mayan Theatre in Downtown this Wednesday and Thursday, October 28th and 29th. Titled “Creature Feature,” this raucous brand of sexo y violencia is sure to make you think twice about the phrase trick or treat.
The playbill and tix are available at http://LuchaVaVOOM.com. Losanjealous will be on hand to witness the spooky spectacle so check back for a review, video, and photos from the show. Official show flyer after the jump.

Hit The Lights @ Knitting Factory Sun Oct 25
File under shame they can’t keep it going. Following Sunday if you want to check out the Knitting Factory you’ll need to be in Boise, Spokane, Brooklyn or, coming soon, Reno. Join us as we bid farewell to the venue and its three stages in the heart of Hollywood.
We have a few pairs of tickets to hand out at this time – and one grand prize winner will win a pair of tickets, free Hit The Lights merch and get to meet and greet the band if so desired (note: hitting the actual lights as you exit the Knitting Factory not included, though who’s to say that doesn’t happen as well). Simply put, if you’ve never been to the Knitting Factory over the last decade, this is your final opportunity. Entry instructions after the jump.

Tenacious D (with guests) @ The Actors Gang (Tim Robbins’ WTF?! Festival) Sat Oct 17
Ok, this next band asked me to read this…
Los Angeles, Tenacious D is playing Culver City tomorrow and we’ve got your tickets covered. The duo will perform tomorrow as part of a multi-month-long series of events and performances intended to buck the slumping economy, cumulatively titled the WTF?! Festival at the Actors’ Gang space; said fest is curated by nonprofit gang founder Tim Robbins.
This is your chance to see The D in a small, intimate venue (100 seats). But wait! Your free tickets also allow you unfettered access to the comedic stylings of Sarah Silverman and surprise guests. Doors at 7, cocktails at 7:01, show at 8:30pm. Don’t snooze on this one. For those readers averse to gambling, a very small handful of tickets are still available here at $150/seat at press time. Remember: The Actor’s Gang is a nonprofit organization. These shows benefit children’s outreach programs; nobody is taking a dime. Entry instructions after the jump.

Attention, comedy fans and denizens of Los Angeles at large: LA’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre is taking over the Solvang area this weekend, and we have a fun getaway in store for you at this time:
The laugh will most likely be caused by something witnessed or heard during the back-to-back afternoon UCB Theatre shows you will waltz into, free of charge, up in old Solvang. Following this laugh, whether or not you stay in Solvang, journey farther north to The Madonna Inn, get sidetracked by a steaming bowl of pea soup in Buellton, stop in at the Hitching Post for a glass of red with Thomas Haden Church or end up at Neverland…well, those are all options once you find yourself north of Santa Barbara. Good luck and may you return in one piece.

HEADS CANCELED
Kanye West & Lady Gaga, @ Staples Center Mon Nov 16 (Cancelabra)
Those of you who were hoping to hit next month’s Staples show in order to have Kanye enlighten you on various things best-of-all-time will have to wait, apparently, as CNN’s reporting Live Nation just announced the tour has already been canceled (we’re told nobody interrupted the announcement):
Concert promoter Live Nation said Thursday that West’s concert tour with Lady Gaga — titled “Fame Kills” — has been canceled just two weeks after it was announced.
The reason for the cancellation was not revealed, but West told NBC’s Jay Leno last month — before the tour was officially announced — that he planned “to take some time off” in the aftermath of his MTV awards show embarrassment.
Take heart, Kanyephile, and enjoy a pre-awards-snafu’d Kanye back in Austin, SXSW ‘09 as captured at the Fader Fort by the ever-reliable Sung.
