Hi LA :) Faye from DoSD clocking back in for my final day covering the DoLA newsletter while Brady continues extending Memorial Day Weekend into a full lifestyle choice.

While we do our best to uphold our commitment to all of you, this weekend let's all uphold our commitment to those who've worn the uniform of this great nation and to their families who have made significant sacrifices on our behalf.

And with that, I hand you your Friday treat and a kiss on the forehead for good luck: We’re giving away tickets to see Inner Wave & Los Mesoneros at The Regent Theater on 5/31. Enter to win!*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Elmiene’s voice sounds like it was engineered specifically for late-night drives down Sunset. The Sounds For Someone Tour hits The Wiltern on 6/2, and early bird GA is live while it lasts, which probably won’t be long.*

• Technical death metal people are built different, and honestly, respect. Archspire hits Belasco Theater on 5/31 with riffs moving at very impressive speeds. Enter to win tickets.*

• If your personality is somewhere between Letterboxd guy and Disney adult, this one’s for you: on 6/6, MUPPETS TREASURE ISLAND screens outdoors at LA State Historic Park, aka the exact spot where the iconic polo scene was filmed.*

• “Click Click” – your sign to buy tickets to The English Beat at Stage Red on 6/19. They’re officially live.

• Plus fresh announcements from Marc Maron, Satin Jackets, Anthony Green, and more!

KCRW SUMMER NIGHTS SCHEDULE

Maybe all Southern California cities are just spiritually addicted to outdoor music in the summer, but honestly? We could all have worse hobbies.

KCRW Summer Nights is back with free concerts and events around LA all season long. Check out the schedule!

THIS WEEKEND

THE LOCAL’S LIST: DoAANHPI-OWNED LOCAL BUSINESSES WITH ALICE

We’re asking locals what they’re actually into lately. They pick the topic, we share the list. Every Friday, new person, new subject, maybe a new friend?

Meet Alice Kao, the co-founder and CEO of Sender One Climbing, a premier indoor climbing company with six locations throughout SoCal.

Alice hates following rules, but loves rallying people to believe in an idea. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is not afraid to cry in meetings. She was born and raised in Taiwan and moved to the US when she was 12. Alice's superpower is her ability to ask for help relentlessly — because no one has all the answers!

Wanna know Alice’s favorite AANHPI-owned local businesses?
