THIS is glad to announce part 2 of the show we kicked it all off with a year ago, These Friends 2. When the 5 of us first conceived this place we all made a list of friends we would like to show a piece and the list quickly grew to over 100 people. It turned out to be a huge success, more people showed up than we knew what to do with, and good times were had. So, let’s do it again. This Friday, February 4th, 7-10 p.m. at THIS los angeles, 5906 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90042. The reception is free and features a DJ and an open bar.

IdeaCity calls itself “an eclectic gathering of artists, adventurers, authors, cosmologists, doctors, designers, entertainers, filmmakers, inventors, magicians, musicians, scientists and technologists.” It’s like the TED Talks for pop culture – only the influential are invited to attend, and the most influential are invited to speak. Tavi talks about what an ideal teen fashion magazine would look like, drawing heavily on her love for Sassy -it’s long, but watcher her hold her own in front of thousands of people is fascinating.
