1444 W Chicago Avenue
Las Vegas
It’s ok if you’re not sure how many times you’ve actually walked under the Fiori di Como in the Bellagio lobby, the important thing is that you’ll get to meet the artist behind the totally rad ceiling art this weekend. That’s right, glass sculptor Dale Chihuly will be in the house for autographs. So go pick up one of his awesome books and head over there!
3600 Las Vegas Boulevard South
Los Angeles
Sometimes the best way to ring in the holidays is with a classic parade. So if throwback traditions are totally your style, then go celebrate the 82nd Hollywood Christmas Parade that’s happening this Sunday. After all, spending the day chillaxing while handmade floats, huge balloons, and awesome performances go by is definitely one way to ease yourself back into a pumpkin pie-free reality.
Locations vary
Miami
Since we’re guessing this Sunday will come with some major back-to-real-life blues, you might want to head to Blackbird Ordinary to fend them off. The bar is screening
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
and
The Muppet Christmas Carol
for the ultimate holiday-themed Sunday (including awesome drink specials).

Black Friday might be famous for its major sales, but we really can’t think of a better day to debut an art exhibit which features work inspired by the secrets hidden in paintings. So bring your deepest, darkest ones out to The Hole to uncover hidden messages or just see awesome art at NYC-based artist Stefan Bondell’s
The Black Box
exhibit.
312 Bowery
Orange County
If you’re anything like us, the the sound of a psycho punk fest sounds totally crazy--not to mention a little amazing. So go check out the nearly 20 rockabilly, psych, and punk bands (think The Spoofs, Hard Fall Hearts, and Underground Alliance) playing on two different stages in Anaheim tonight. Just don’t leave the leather jacket at home, ok?
