Coolest events, art shows, bands playing in LA area on oct. 11 or 12?

will have a bit of time on my own these nights when i'm down in santa monica for work. Put it this way, what would you do in the LA area if you were in town for a few nights, that was cool and not too touristy?

thanks!

Dang. It's hard to find stuff mid-week. Check out KCRW's music calander for eclectic music around town...

And LA.com has listings of what clubs are good in the city for each night (I like Afro Funke at Zanzibar) plus attractions around town...

Good luck!
