Meet guest blogger and friend Nina who, as you can tell from her photo here, has impeccable style and did not buy this hat because fascinators should be more colorful than white.

Nina is a goddess of all things hip in art, architecture, and design. She will be guest blogging about this shiz from here on out. Because she is a young, single architect and I am not as cool as her. Although we are both fans of The Beastie Boys, which is why she decided her first blog would be about Mike D curating a show at MOCA here in LA. We're going to try to see it and you should too.

Enjoy! And thanks Nina!

FROM NINA:
The second half of the Transmission LA: AV CLUB at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA downtown, a 17-day exhibition curated by Beastie Boy Mike D, ends this weekend and it is not to be missed.

Following last year's Transmission Berlin, the show features performances and installations within an inter-disciplinary platform, including artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, and chefs, displaying how these different fields compliment and help each other.

Highlights of the exhibit include Chef Roy Choi of the famed Kogi BBQ truck, and the first world-wide unveiling of the new Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupé.

When you're done, take a stroll through Little Tokyo, and pop in for some of the best sushi or ramen in LA. Try Komasa or Sushi-Gen for sushi (jury’s still out), or Daikokuya for noodles (jury says yea).

Some shows require tickets, check out these links for more info:
