You will be challenged to disarm Dr. Crowl’s gas bomb or face being used

in his deadly experiments! Limited time promo code DTLAWEEKLY is good for $6 off of your tickets.

In the bustling entertainment capital of the world that is Los Angeles, it’s of-ten daunting to simply decide on what to do. There are so many concerts, exhibi-tions, and events that it’s overwhelming to try and choose. Fortunately, the contin-ued surge of activity in DTLA has brought with it some out-of-the-box options for your thrills and frills. These escape rooms offer an immersive puzzle experience in a group setting.

Escape Rooms Are the New Laser TagA trend that is reminiscent of laser tag in some ways. Both laser tag and es-cape rooms allow an entire group to be involved at once. This is great for team building and providing lasting memories because the group must work together to win. With The Laboratory escape room, you’re in a beautifully crafted set. Your group is engaged the whole time and par-ticipants use their minds instead of their trigger fingers. If you’re only going to go to one escape room this year, The Laboratory has 30+ mind-bending puzzles that push your group to work together or submit to bitter failure.

The Escape Room ModelThe Laboratory owners, Daniel Crowley and Jesse Miller, opened the doors to their escape room almost three months ago. Both hailing from Riverside, these entrepreneurs feel they have what it takes to provide DTLA with the next big escape room. Putting quality above all else, the two spent more than a year creating and building the puzzles. “Every detail was -examined and refined,” says Daniel, “until it was perfect.”

Giving up everything for their escape room, the two left dead-end jobs and pro-cured a space in the heart of DTLA at 117 E. 11th Street. Daniel was a pizza delivery driver and Jesse was working in mainte-nance and construction. The two fell in love with the escape room model and now it’s an important part of their lives. With other write-ups on The Laboratory and reviews starting to emerge from the first wave of customers, things are looking good for this new escape room.

Go ahead and use promo code DTLAWEEKLY on your tickets and try this new trend for yourself. Hours of operation vary so be sure to check escapethelabora-tory.com or call for all details. For now, you can attempt to escape Tuesday-Sun-day with weekday prices a little low-er. Good luck!

There’s an app for everything and the awesome WAG promo code is al-

lowing users to save on dog walking! DTLA has a huge population of dogs. As it is residents have been pouring into the area over the last decade.

From Spring Street to the Arts Dis-trict, one can see dogs both big and

small. There have been many accom-modations added to DTLA for these furry friends like dog parks, pet stores, etc. As technology aides demand, the WAG app has exploded on the scene. The app’s coolest feature gives busy dog owners a chance to follow their dogs’ walk via GPS tracking as the WAG ‘Walkers’ check-in, take the pup out, and return. All with pictures and videos sent right to the dog owner’s phone.

Use WAG Promo Code DTLAWEEKLYLike so many other apps, the WAG pro-mo code entices new users with a dis-count on their first dog walk. Wag also offers boarding and dog sitting as a ser-vice which the code will work towards as well. The WAG app started here in Los Angeles in 2014 and has been expanding ever since. In a Los Angeles Times article from earlier this year, one can read about the experience of a dog owner and a dog walker who uses the app. The Times also quotes WAG founder Joshua Viner. His intention was to “create a service where, with the push of a button, a professional caregiver would” go directly to the home of a dog owner in need of a walk or dog sit-ter. Dog owners can rate the walkers out of five stars and each walker has a short video clip on their profiles.

Profile of A Professional WalkerOne local resident, Christian Salazaar, has been walking dogs with the WAG app for almost three months now. As a part-time JV football coach at Belmont High School, Salazaar books walks within the DTLA area frequently. With an additional part-time job and passion projects also in the picture, the WAG app helps him with additional income.

“I can accept walks on the app and I get a lot of repeat users.”

says Salazaar.”

Salazaar was eager to share a funny story about a user who requested a walk. Using the WAG lock box, Salazaar en-tered the home per usual to find the col-lars weren’t available and one of the dogs wasn’t coming to his call. He called for the dog and heard whining but couldn’t see the pup. Walking towards the sound, he found the dog owner passed out on the couch with a big bottle of vodka right next to him.

The Trojans gained 623 total yards, avenging the three-game slide against

Stanford. Quarterback Sam Darnold went 21 of 26, for 306 yards and 4 TD passes. Ronald Jones is an important asset in the backfield, while Deontay Burnett caught two TD receptions.

Every fan vividly remembers the 2006 BCS Title at the Rose Bowl. Widely recog-nized as the greatest game in the history of college football. Texas won 41-38, Tro-jan fans have nightmares of former Tex-as QB Vince Young running into the end zone, to capture the title, 41-38.

That was a lifetime ago, ‘SC is favored to beat a Texas program which is rebuild-ing. Kickoff is at 5:30 P.M. its also at the Coliseum, and is the Primetime matchup airing on ABC.

Los Angeles Rams Cruise To Easy Victory To Open SeasonThe Los Angeles Rams steamrolled the visiting Indianapolis Colts, 46-9, to kick off the NFL regular season on Sunday, September 10th at the blistering Colise-um. Quarterback Jared Goff earned his first victory as a pro, setting a career high in passing yards, 305 to be exact, and a bullet down the middle for a TD pass to Wide Receiver Cooper Kupp.

The defense was relentless the entire game, Colts backup QB Scott Tolzien threw a wobbly duck on his first attempt, Cornerback Trumaine Johnson inter-cepted the pass, and returned it 39 yards for a, ‘ SIX-erception ‘. That made it 10-0 Rams.

Head Coach Sean Mcvay earned his first victory. His fingerprints are all over the offense, Goff looks very confident thus far. He is cool in the pocket, makes his reads and delivers an accurate spiral. The newly acquired receiver from the Buffa-lo Bills. Sammie Watkins caught several receptions, fitting in quite well

Running Back Todd Gurley ran for 40 yards, and two touchdowns.The defense is the Rams hallmark, new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips de-serves credit for the fierce, nasty D. Be-sides the relentless pressure the defensive line put on Tolzien, Linebacker LaMarcus Joyner returned another interception to the house.

As for the Los Angeles Chargers, the Bolts nearly erased a 17 point difference on Monday night, falling to the Denver Broncos, 24-21.

The Chargers made a valiant come-back, scoring the final 14 points, forcing 3 Bronco turnovers to set up a game-tying 44-yard field goal.

Unfortunately, it was blocked and the Chargers are 1-9 in games decided by 7 or fewer points since 2016. The Chargers (0-1) have their home opener on Sunday, September 17th at the StubHub Center. The Chargers welcome the Miami Dol-phins, kickoff is at 1:00 P.M.

The Rams (1-0), will host the Washing-ton Redskins ( 0-1 ) this Sunday, Septem-ber 17th. Kickoff is slated for 1: 25 P.M. The Coliseum will be rocking!

Code Blue In Dodger TownThe Dodgers are Hemmoraging, suffering an 11 game losing streak, and there is no end in sight. This eleven game slump is the worst since 1944 when the team was still in Brooklyn. The Dodgers are still in first place, at 92-51, and the Washington Nationals still trail the Dodgers for home-field advantage in the National League. but Los Angeles is beginning to panic, it’s water cooler talk anywhere you go. The team has scored a measly 59 runs in 121 innings. The bats have gone silent. Octo-ber is just around the order, so hopefully, in some ironic way, this struggle might unite the Dodgers for a run at the World Series.

usc trojans are unstoppable

Last Saturday, when the Trojans sound-ly knocked off the Stanford Cardinal,

42-24 at the Coliseum they proved their eyes are set on the National Championship. Up Next: The Texas Long-horns.

MOVIE BUFF>>DOWNTOWN FILM FEST RETURNS

Showcasing motion pictures from al-most every genre, representing coun-

tries from around the world. This year’s theme is “Movies. Not walls”, hosting the first Enemy Nations Film Series presenting films from the countries labeled by immi-gration initiatives and Presidential tweets as “homes to enemies of the state”.

“This year’s feature film line-up offers an extraordinary selection

of some of the best in today’s indie cinema. Film fans of every predi-lection will find something to love in this selection of 30 narrative

and documentary features,” said Karolyne Sosa, the festival’s 2017 programming director. “Our pro-

gramming team searched far and wide to arrive at the final list, and

we’re thrilled to offer these Los An-geles premiere screenings to the world’s most discerning films fans

– Angelenos!”

In addition, more than 100 other films most sourced from leading film festivals including Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, Rotterdam, Santa Barbara and Slamdance, as well leading indie theatri-cal distributors like The Orchard, Samuel Goldwyn and Indie Rights will be showing during the festival as well.

Opening the festival on Thursday, Sept. 21st is the Los Angeles pre-miere of “A Thousand Junkies”, the feature film directorial debut from multi-hyphenate Tommy Swerdlow (Cool Runnings, Little Giants, and Snow Dogs), who directed and co-wrote the film and co-stars with Blake Heron and TJ Bowen, who shares a writing credit featuring three junkies who crisscross Los Angeles in search of relief.

Also from The Orchard is The Work by directors Jairus Mcleary and Gethin Ald-ous, a powerful documentary set inside a single room in Folsom State Prison (Cal-ifornia), which follows three level-four convicts as they participate in a four-day, innovative group therapy retreat. Round-ing out the trio from The Orchard is Super Dark Times, Kevin Phillips’ harrowing, meticulously observed look at teenage age lives.

Continuing with the dark side, this year’s SXSW Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize, Most Beautiful Island, exploring the unforgettable and decidedly sinister day in the life of a young woman immi-grant struggling to leave behind a mys-terious past as she copies with life New York City. Ana Asensio directs and stars in this psychological thriller, which will be released later this year by Samuel Gold-wyn Films.

Also in the line up, Kasra Farah-ani’s,Tilt, about a filmmaker named Joe making a definitive documentary about the dark side of America’s post WW2 “golden age.” who soon finds himself fall-ing down the rabbit hole of self-doubt and paranoia. In a similar vein Erik Nelson with A Gray State has created a chilling portrait of real-life alt right personality David Crowley as he struggles to complete his opus film project.

The list of intriguing projects goes on including Adam Cushman’s, Jorge Xolalpa, Christopher J. Hansen’and Jade Jenise Dixon and many others.

The festival’s signature curated film se-ries this year is entitled, Enemy Nations, which refers to how whole nations of people suddenly became identified by the highest levels of the U.S. government as anti-American. The series presents a se-lection from each of these seven countries in an opportunity for you, the audience, to decide for yourself if the enemy is from beyond the borders, or within.

DTLA COCKTAILSIN THE

CITY Where can you meet

Marilyn Monroe, en-joy a cocktail under the

Eiffel Tower, sipping drinks with a rare snake, or take an immersive journey into the Beatles White Al-bum, all under one roof? Cocktails in the City, a one night only cocktail festival held at The Majestic Downtown, promises to be just the place.

After successful stints in Scotland and England, Cocktails in the City crosses the

Atlantic for the first time to Downtown Los Angeles. Steve Kelly, CEO of Cocktails in the City, said he chose Los Angeles for the group’s first event in the United States because

“This city often gets overlooked on a global level when we think about

the best bar cities across the world. We wanted to give the City of Angels a chance to experience it all in one

place and discover the incredible tal-ent living right under our noses!”

Cocktails in the City will showcase bartenders from thirty of LA’s elite bars who will be serv-ing one-night-only libations.

Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a casual consumer, this lavish event will have something to fill your drinking desires.

“Cocktails in the City is for anyone who appreciates a well made cocktail, a well-de-

signed bar, or who just wants to have a great night out. No matter what age, color or orientation. The focus is on fun, celebrat-

ing the best of LA’s bar scene and giving consumers the chance to experience some

unique drinking experiences.”Cocktails in the City will give guests an experience that goes beyond just a great drink.Each bar has been matched with a liquor brand to feature a unique cocktail and inter-active pop-up venues that will create amazing interactive and immersive experiences. Kelly said that LA will improve upon Cocktail in the City’s acclaimed European editions,

“We’ve modified the format of the event to allow our participating bars more free-

dom in the design of their pop-up concepts.

No boring fixed sizes, shapes or styles of booth. The bars have cre-

ative license to build whatever they want. We can’t wait to see what they

come up with!”

Highlights include Big Bar and Hennessy’s midnight in Paris theme, The Peppermint Club and Old Forester’s Prohibition era cab-aret lounge, Normandie Club and Copper and Kings Brandy’s the Beatles’ White Album experience, Wolf and Crane and Toki Whisky’s authentic Japanese drinking experience, and Otium and Grey Goose Vodka’s hidden bar. A panel of esteemed judges will be tasting cock-tails and honoring one bar and brand with the Best Signature Cocktail award.

Guests can have their say by casting their vote for the Best Activation award prior to the end of the night.

10. DTLA REAL ESTATE EMPIRE by Madeline Adamo dtla-weekly.com

Cocktails in the City is more than simply food and drink. A bar-

school bootcamp will give guests hands on experience making clas-sic cocktails with some of LA’s best bartenders. Live entertainment will be provided by special guests and top DJs. Participants will also be able to enjoy group photo booths which will, according to a press release, recreate “iconic bar scenes from Hollywood movies.”

A wide variety of food options will accompany the plethora of bever-ages available.

For those looking for a healthy op-tion, Kye’s will serve “Kye-ritos”, handheld bowls, and bread-freesandwiches. For those out to in-dulge, Trejo’s Tacos will be sure to please, featuring their sumptuous artisanal delights, available with meat, vegan, and vegetarian op-tions.

Bronzed Aussie Pie Company will satisfy your sweet tooth.

Seasons Soda and Topo Chico will provide complimentary so-das and water across the venue.

If you need another reason to attend, Cocktails in the City has partnered with

My Friend’s Place to donate all profits towards helping homeless youth. For over 29 years, MyFriend’s Place has been offering resources such as food and support services to homeless youth between the ages of 12 and 25. Kelly said that,

“Youth homelessness is a clearly massive issue for Los Angeles.

Given the target demographic of our event, we felt it would resonate with people. Also, as My Friend’s Place is

privately funded we wanted to not only raise money but also awareness of their amazing organization and the work they do.”

Cocktails in the City will be held on September 23rd at the The Ma-jestic Downtown on 650 S Spring St. cocktailsinthecity.com

la opera Since 1948 The LA Opera has maintained a talented ros-ter of resident artists, young singers who perform regu-larly in main stage productions as well as the company’s community programs under the personal supervision of Peter Hemmings, Plácido Domingo, Kent Nagano, and current Music Director James Conlon. On Stage Now: LA Opera is preparing for their 2017/2018 season, and while season tickets and chances to engage with commu-nity workshops (including Opera Camp and Pre-Opera Talks) are plentiful this summer, the world will have to wait to enjoy the grandeur of soaring falsettos and baritone performances with the first season opener of CARMEN starring Ana MarÍa MartÍnez through October 1st. 135 N Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012.
