In its final week, the My Little Pony Project 2012, is an art exhibition celebrating the characters made famous by the Hasbro toy line. My Little Pony has achieved cult status with male "Bronies" and female "Pegasisters" perhaps trying to recapture some of their youth. To be sure, the associated offerings are for all members of the family. Twenty-five notable artists have created their own one-of-a-kind painted MY LITTLE PONY 18-inch vinyl figures. The customized ponies will be available for sale during the run of the exhibition, ending May 26, 2012. Ten percent of the sales from the MY LITTLE PONY one-of-a-kind ponies will be donated to a children's charity.

Kicking off this Saturday and continuing for 17 Saturdays through September 15, Eat/See/Hear brings together three fun things LA is known for: food trucks, movies and music. With the "largest widescreen west of the Mississippi", attendees will get to watch favorite PG movies from the last 30 years such as The Goonies, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and this Saturday it's Anchorman, The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Local bands will provide pre-show entertainment and a rotation of our city's favorite food trucks will be on hand. LA is a big place and Eat/See/Hear knows that, so they will move to a different location every week. For location, time and what's showing visit the schedule on their website.
