September may signal the beginning of the end of summer, but it also brings some pretty great things, like kids going back to school and hopefully less mid-day traffic. Anyways, we're still accidentally writing August on everything and aren't sure where the summer went. If you're trying to hang out to the last tendrils of the season like we are, our events lineup this weekend is sure to do the trick. It's all happening Los Angeles.
