Every Tuesday I publish a curated weekly guide to what's worth doing in LA this weekend — concerts, restaurant openings, museum exhibits, theater, family events, free outdoor activities, and the occasional one-off worth driving for. Each weekly issue is a quick-read with a short narrated video and a clickable poster for every event. The full back catalog is below; the most recent issue is at the top.
Why this hub exists
I'm a Simi Valley REALTOR® but most of my buyers, sellers, and friends spend real time in LA — for work, for dinners, for the weekend. The 'what's worth doing this weekend' question comes up constantly. So I publish the answer.
Every Tuesday at 9am Pacific I release a new issue covering the upcoming weekend (Thursday-Sunday). Each issue has 9 events: concerts, restaurant openings, museum exhibits, theater, comedy, family-friendly, free outdoor, and an occasional special — like a Vin Scully tribute night or a Chinatown lantern festival.
The format: a 35-second narrated video walkthrough, 9 illustrated event posters with full event detail (date, time, venue, price, ticket link), and a one-paragraph 'why I picked this' note for each event.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the new issue ship?
Every Tuesday at 9am Pacific. The current week's issue covers Thursday-Sunday. If you're reading on a Wednesday or Thursday, you have the most recent issue; if you're reading on Monday, the next issue ships in 24 hours.
How are events selected?
I pick 9 events per week from across LA based on a mix of: cultural significance, ticket availability, geographic spread (so Westside and Eastside readers both find something), price diversity (mix of free + paid), and one-off vs recurring. The goal is a list that's worth scanning even if you're not planning to attend any of them.
Do you cover Ventura County?
Yes — separately. There's a parallel /things-to-do-ventura-county weekly hub covering Simi Valley, Conejo Valley, Camarillo, Ventura, Oxnard, and the rest of the county. Same format, same Tuesday 9am cadence.
Can I submit an event for consideration?
Yes. Email brian@cooperfamilyrealestate.com with subject "LA Event Submission". Include event name, date, venue, ticket link, and a one-sentence pitch. I read everything; I can't promise inclusion but I do consider all submissions.
Is this affiliated with a publication?
No. It's my personal weekly hand-curation. No paid placement, no sponsored slots. If an event is in the list it's because I thought it was worth your time.
