Please, Hammer Museum, Don't Hurt 'Em!

UCLA's Hammer Museum is one of the cooler arts spots in town, hosting all kinds of unusual exhibits throughout the year that draw a funny mix of Westside patrons and Eastside starving artists.  This summer will probably see an increase in the latter, as everything will be free until Labor Day.

The collection, exhibits, and events, are all joyously gratis.  Knowing what kind of crowd this will draw, the museum is hosting Thursday night concerts that are all indie, all the time, as well as a slightly questionable lecture series--a cynic might question what exactly Jenny Shimizu has to teach the rest of us, unless it's Angelina Jolie related.  Still, a good chance to get some culture in when taking a rest from urban water pistol fights and other hipsterrific activities.
