The Hot Tub You Can Reserve At The Hammer

 

Looks like it's too late, but the The Hammer did have a Hot Tub you could reserve until Oct 9, which seems to be booked until then. The feature of Hammer Projects: Tita Cicognani was a very lovely hot tub you could spend time in at the museum. We're assuming people could just walk by on their way to other installations and you'd probably be on camera, but still, free hot tub use.

Here's the info on it:
 
"The functioning hot tub at the center of Los Angeles–based artist Tita Cicognani’s (b. 1993, New York City) installation offers an environment of potential physical contact and intimacy in an institutional context typically designed to promote sterility and cleanliness. Customized as part of a larger installation that includes video, sound, and other media works, Cicognani’s hot tub is a device through which museum visitors might temporarily reconcile their relationship to germs and the perilousness of the body. The environment most

readily resembles an alien love hotel, decomposing traditional markers of love and romance in order to further underscore their foreignness and unfamiliarity in an art museum. Cicognani’s installation is populated by digital avatars that displace the body of the artist and further aid in the uncanny misrecognition of one’s self as a stable and resolute entity. The presentation at the Hammer marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in an institution."

This isn't the first time patrons of art museums in LA could get in a body of water as MOCA had a small pool in their Little Tokyo location, but rumors are people got sick from it and it had to be shut down.

Dark Delicacies

Saturday & Sunday 11 to 5
822 N. Hollywood Way

Halloween Town
2921 W Magnolia Blvd
Burbank, CA 91505
 
This year-round Halloween store has an insane collection of horror goods. But, what makes it stand out more than an annual thrift mall shop is the look inside. Walk through a haunted house and the porches of...well,  a Halloween Town. Watch out though, they hate you taking pictures. They aren't allowed in store. Remember, there's one store devoted to costumes and one to everything else.
 



 
3200 W Magnolia Blvd.
Burbank

This horror shop has a wonderful collection of goodies to spruce up any haunted house you call your own. Usually they'll have some pop-up in-store or nearby showcasing a genre of horror or just a film series. They don't have as wide a selection of Halloween town, but have hard to find mech you might not find at the other.

Duration: 2 hours 
Casa Vertigo
1828 Oak St. CA. 90015

Boasting over 88,000 square feet with four floors and three Mezzanines of versatile space, guests will be transported into Lady Medb’s haunting tale through the legend of Vaughan Hall.
 
1466 Glendale Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90026
Open 7 days a week
 
Have a slice of a horror-themed pizza. This fun idea of a pizza parlor serves some intriguingly named dishes. Maybe try the Hellraiser or The Gremlin?

 1714 N Las Palmas Ave Los Angeles, CA 90028
 
Come one, come all, to the Tim Burton unofficial theme bar/restaurant. The look of the place will remind you of Burton's best work and the food/dinks also looks like a fun nod to the director.
