You can stay home in your penguin flannel PJs and watch all of Netflix’s latest movie releases, or you can drag a comb your hair and act like a member of the human race with one or all of these things to do this weekend:
Music/Art
Friday – Sunday, April 15-17, 22-24
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival
From SoCal Pulse …
This year’s headliners at SoCal’s music-meets-art fest are LCD Soundsystem, Guns N’ Roses and Calvin Harris, but if you didn’t know that already, do you even lift, bro? For an insider’s guide to not just survive, but to thrive (and eat the best food offered at the festival), head HERE.
Deets: Tickets are sold out. If you haven’t gotten them yet, try your luck HERE.

Sexy Nerd Burlesque
From Naughty LA …
This isn’t your basic boa-flinging striptease. Blackheart Burlesque, by the SuicideGirls, adds a pop-culture, geeky twist to the old-fashioned dance form we all know and love. For all our fangirls and boys out there, prepare for Star Wars, The Legend of Zelda, A Clockwork Orange, and Fifty Shades of Grey to get sexified on stage.
Food/Art
Saturday, April 16
Arty Party
From LA Canvas …
Is it an art show or a supper club? Lucky for us, it’s both. Chef Vince Howard, in collaboration with Art Unified, will serve up a 5-course meal. Plus, there’s an open bar with VEEV cocktails and Mia Rosa wines to sip on while you watch Joseph Lee and Laura Viapiano make all sorts of art in real time.

Theater/Comedy
Sunday, April 17
Erotic Funnies
From TimeOut…
Not to worry, the Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction isn’t totally in the gutter; it’s actually a comedy show. There will still be fluffy pink handcuffs, though. The event features 10 comics reading their own erotica with an added dash of improv and audience participation.
Deets: The Virgil; 7 p.m; FREE

Dollar Drinks
From LA Weekly
Does your broke ass need to drown its heavily taxed sorrows in libations? Saddle up to any of the seven 1933 Group’s bars around the city (i.e., Sassafras Saloon, Bigfoot Lodge and Bigfoot Lodge West, The Thirsty Crow , La Cuevita and Harlowe Bar) for $1 cocktails. Old-Fashioneds are the tax day drink special featured at all the bars, except for La Cuevita, where mezcal is always encouraged.
