On The Nickel: Art Walk @ Charlie O's




Hello Friends,Fiends and Fans,

This Thursday marks another Downtown Art Walk.
With the rise of the DASH shuttle and hundreds of new visitors coming in to Gallery Row
every month Art Walk has quickly become the most lively night in Downtown L.A.

Never one to miss out on a good party (or let's face it- even a bad party)-
Fleur De Lethal and Charlie O's
have assembled a wild night of art and entertainment for the post walk
set.

"On The Nickel:" a night of glitter in the gutter burlesque and music pays a visit to
the barflies,raindogs and mean streets of Los Angeles.
People,places and things that inspired authors like Bukowski and Fante
and musicians like the inimitable Tom Waits, Artists that documented and defined the landscape of the tarnished town- so far away from the tinsel of Hollywood

"Disc Jockey Full of Bourbon" will be manning the booth and playing
all the finest in circus punk, gypsy stomp and gutter waltzes ( tom waits, gogol bordello, firewater, nick cave, devotchka ect et all)

Local Art Star Emmeric James Konrad will be painting live scenes of the bar dwellers
and booth haunters that have held these bars together since long before the "kids started coming around" ( actual quote from a patron @ Charlie O's)

The Burlesque, hosted by Bella Beretta features performances by the gorgeous and talented Scarlett Letter, Vixen Magdalene and many more...
However The highlight of the night- is a not to be missed performance by Miss Viva Las Vegas 2007.
LA CHOLITA.

The first set @ 10:30 will be a brassy saucy homage to back alleys and cobble stones
and the bad girls( with even worse intentions) that hang out in and on them

The second set @ 11:30...we bust out the rhinestones and feathers in a nod to all the burlesque theaters that lined Spring and Main back in the very lively "day".

So get a map on-line @ www.downtownartwalk.com
go see the art, go buy art...come see the thriving nightlife of new downtown.
Then stroll over to Charlie O's for a gritty,pretty,bourbon soaked, glitter in the gutter night
