LACMA’s renovated David Geffen Galleries have officially re-entered the chat with a free block party and an art parade down Wilshire Blvd this past Saturday that felt more like a music festival (insert: Flying Lotus & DJ Harvey). The grand opening celebration was one for the ages. (At least, according to our General Manager Dave.)

I’m having a little FOMO for this one too…

Kenny Chesney's epic Vegas run has returned to The Sphere with all-new production and deeper cuts. One lucky No Shoes Nation faithful will win a pair of tickets to the Saturday, 7/11 show! Will it be you?

THIS WEEK

The 10-Minute Responsible Thing

Life insurance is easy to avoid, because it’s really not that fun to think about. If given the choice, we’d prefer to use our brain power imagining a horse wearing a cowboy hat… But this needs to be done. 

Ethos makes the insurance of life a lot easier to deal with. You answer a few health questions online, skip the medical exam altogether, and most people get approved the same day. Every plan includes a free will, so you can knock out two of life's least fun tasks at once. Policies start around $54 a month*, and more than 500,000 families have already gotten covered through them. If people depend on you - a spouse, kids, parents, a horse wearing a cowboy hat, anyone - it’s one of the most assuredly useful things you can take care of in about 10 minutes.*

*Sample rate: 10-year term $1M life policy for 40 y/o healthy, non-smoking male.
