Kathy just got her film developed & put together a little zine for you guys from last weekend. Catch up on all the festival coverage from our crew including hers, mine, Duran on the art scene, and Vans Skate’s Johnny Layton’s. -amanda
If you’ve ever wanted to pretend you were a contestant on Legends of the Hidden Temple, might I suggest taking a trip down to The Mayan in downtown LA? Used as a club for most nights of the week, the venue served as an odd, yet pretty rad, location for last night’s LA stop on The Bouncing Souls’ summer tour.
The Souls are on the road, promoting their newest album Comet, and they’ve got a fantastic lineup at their side. Check out the rest of the upcoming tour dates here, and make sure to get there early to catch The Menzingers, Broadway Calls, and Luther!
Catch some more photos from the show on Flickr.
