Brooklyn-based artist Dan Witz has put up pieces of his artwork throughout Echo Park, Silver Lake, Hollywood and West Hollywood.
Seth Carmichael, co-owner of Carmichael Gallery of Contemporary Art where Witz’s art show is currently running, told LAist, “For him, it’s about not being seen by everybody except for those people who deserve to see it, and those who are the people he cares about.”
Check out the full LAist article and more photos of his work here.

Machine Project invites you to our first-ever benefit event on Saturday Nov 7th at a special location – Mister Jalopy’s secret lair, accessible only through a hidden entrance behind Coco’s Variety Store at 2427 Riverside Drive. With over 20 participating artists, technologists and musicians, the 2009 Benefit packs months worth of events into a single intimate evening. What to expect? Opportunities to steal art from a laser-protected, action movie-style perimeter, wager on microscopic slime mold races, try your hand at gold panning to prospect for real gold nuggets, stay late to huddle around the firepit to make ’smores, partake from the amply stocked wine and beer bar, have a wood-fired pizza from an on-site brick pizza oven, enjoy music from four different acts, replace your old Getty Museum fake ID, participate in head-to-head speed soldering contests and eat noodles supplied by Kwong Dynasty Noodle Cart.
There will be free food and drinks.
$75 for members
$100 for General Admission
$250 for “extra magical benefactor” tickets

According to a posting on redcarproperty.blogspot.com, “Despite a 17 year process redesigning the 2 Freeway Terminus at Glendale Blvd. leading to overwhelming support from the community for Alternative D (which maximized public park space), The Powers That Be created a bastardized version they’ll present at a Community Open House on Nov. 4.
“The bastardized version, or as Metro calls it, the ‘Hybrid Alternative,’ completely ignores one of the main purposes of the Terminus redesign: removing vehicle traffic from the southbound flyover ramp at the Terminus. Years ago, I remember then City Councilmember and later, Assemblymember Jackie Goldberg as well as County Supervisor Gloria Molina insisting this was a primary goal because the traffic coming off the flyover ramp was unsafe for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians.“
The meeting on the 2 Freeway Terminus Redesign takes place takes place on Wed., November 4, 2009 from 6:00-8:00 pm.

There have been a quite few dogs needing good homes posted on the Echo Park / Elysian Neighborhood Councils Forum as of late. This little guy may end up in the pound if the woman who found him can’t find a new home or at least temporary foster care (due to her landlord’s request to get rid of the dog somehow).He is not fixed or chipped, but is healthy.
