Last Minute LA Meetup - featuring Art by sexyrobot! Our very own sexyrobot will have his artwork featured in a one night show at retropia gallery this Friday!

The show will take place at The Upstairs Gallery @ Retropia, 1443 North Highland Ave @ Sunset Blvd in Hollywood on Friday, May 19 from 6 - 10 pm. Samples of his amazing work can be seen here. Following the Gallery showing, there will be mayhem and madness at WigOut, a monthly dance party that takes place every third Friday of the month at MBar. Put on your best wig and dancing shoes, and let's meet up to support one of our own. See you there!

  • Sounds most excellent--count me in. But what if I don't have a wig in the house to wear? I just sent mine to the cleaners yesterday!
  • Well done you! Can I come? Will you pay for my flight?
  • I too need my flight paid for...
  • *seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeethes*
  • Now that I'm living 192 miles out of town, I will not be able to attend personally, but I may be able to provide wigs, being recently elected Secretary/Treasurer of the local chapter of the Hair Club for Men. If I can, I'll have them sent directly to the gallery and you'll be able to claim one by mentioning "Dolph Brubaker" (that's the name I use at the Hair Club meetings). I'll try to include a neon pink one for mandyman and something in lime green for sexyrobot. BUT SERIOUSLY, I hope the gallery allows cameras and somebody takes lots of pictures. In fact, if you don't have all the wallspace covered, how about a giant shoutout? Remember, it's spelled W-E-N-D-E-L-L. And can I plug my irreverent new website here? No? Drat.
  • No, I'm sorry, there isn't time.
  • very silly party.
  • I demand a shoutout scripted on parchment and delivered by all attending, attired in powdered wigs and waistcoats, with suitably dour expressions. That is all.
  • Wendell! I LOVE the website...really. two great tastes that taste great together. I look forward to adding my vote to the apocalisting some time soon...
  • Mandyman - there's wig rental at the door at WigOut - $5, cheap!
  • Great going, sexyrobot! And wotta a wigsite, wendell!
  • MonkeyFilter: there's wig rental at the door *Waits for GramMa's shift to start*
  • wig rental um, ew.
  • At least it's not merkin rental
  • I am The Going. Seeya Friday! :D
  • Awesome website wendell! Those of you who are going, see you tonight. Can't wait!
  • JEALOUS
  • Plus it's been and gone. How was it?
  • It. was. FABULOUS! sexyrobot's show was a great success - he sold 3 of the 4 pieces that were on auction. WigOut will now be a monthly event - June will honor Freddy Mercury & Queen so get your costumes together now! As usual, I don't have a damn camera, so I'll patiently wait here for others to post. Whee!
  • Let it be known that Space Kitty stopped traffic in Hollywood in her fabulous blonde wig.
  • Wow! What an amazing experience! A big thank you to all who helped make my first show such an amazing success (I sold almost everything...there's just one piece left!). We had a great turnout and everyone had a blast playing with all the phones (both real and fictional). For those who missed it, the show will be up through friday at the Retropia gallery (1443 N Highland just south of sunset (parking in rear) 323-871-4000 for more info). I could go on about how much fun we all had, but I think this picture sums it all up quite nicely:
  • oh, and I was expecting a LOT more monkeys...what, did ALL of the international flights stop running? *hmph* ;-)
  • well I got on a banana boat but the damn thing wouldn't float
  • That may be the best meetup photo EVAR. And,hurray for you, sexyrobot. Well deserved success! If you'll give the rest of us some original art, we can surely eke out enough cash to attend your next showing, now that you're famous. (You might have already been, but I didn't know.) LA monkeys are in a class by themselves.
  • *mind implodes at sight of gorgeous Blonde Kitty*
  • See, I wasn't kidding about her stopping traffic.
  • That is easily the best photo of her I've ever seen. Which is saying something.
  • Hubba hubba ding ding! I picture her speaking in a pinched New Jersey accent: "Who's calling plea-ase? ... I'm sorry, Mr. Rosenblum can't be distoibed! ... well, ya don't have to get sore mista!"
