So Lance Pauker and I are in Fargo, North Dakota for the week to check out — and share — all the culture the city has to offer. 11 Ways To Treating Women Right Apr. I'm a free spirit, a word junkie and info-nerd. I love learning and I love sharing what I've learned because I ... Read more »I figured after my last post, it’d only be fair to follow up with the other side of the coin and give men a female’s perspective on things. (This may be difficult to digest for some of my readers who believe I’m a man, but that’s the marvel of the internet, right? I could be. I could also be a purple unicorn that learned to type with my magical horn on a very large computer keyboard. Shutterstock1. Be honest. There is no fancy way to do this. Just. Be. Honest. If you’re into her, then tell her you’re into her. Don’t play that “I’m-trying-to-come-off-cool-and-macho-so-I’m-gonna-play-like-I’m-not-that-interested-so-she-falls-for-me” crap. That shit’s lame. (And let me tell you, any girl that falls into that passive-aggressive play is not in the right state of mind to be in a serious relationship, especially with you.) Stop it. If you’re not that into her, then just be honest! Let her know you’re not as interested as she might be and spare her the run-around of awkward texts you’re trying to avoid sending. Don’t be that guy. Nobody likes that guy. 2. Don’t hide your habits. We’re not idiots. Porn, cars, video games, beer, sports… It’s not that we have a problem with you liking these things… we have a problem with you trying to do these things behind our backs. Don’t lie about what you’re doing or who you’re doing it with. Follow the first tip. If she has a problem with what you’re doing, ask her why instead of just finding an elaborate way to hide it from her the next time you decide to do it. And to some of our “free-lookers” out there, don’t feed that “you’re the most beautiful girl in the world” line to your girl if you’re the guy that turns his head sideways every time you see a girl walk past with tight jeans on. If you’re a “Barney Stinson”, then own it and let her know. Bullshit begets bullshit, so keep it real. If she doesn’t trust you, then there’s an element already missing in your relationship that you might want to think/talk about. 3. This one gets the special asterisks because this one, I feel, is the MOST important. I can’t stress this one enough. Men have this habit of speaking through a series of grunts, sighs, head nods, or eyebrow raises while their arms are folded over their chest listening to us talk. I’m almost positive there’s not a man out there who enjoys listening to the words, “are you even listening to me?!” – But there’s a reason she’s asking, guys. We’re not inside your heads, we don’t know what you’re thinking and if you are listening to us, a lot of the times, you’re not showing us any indication it got through. Silence isn’t the answer we want. We want a “yeah, I got you” or “no, I don’t agree with you.” We know YOU don’t want to do anything that’ll trigger “conversation overtime,” but if you didn’t agree with something we said and you held it in… you’re gonna have the same discussion with us again in the future. So save us both some time. Speak up. 4. Don’t be lazy. No one’s asking you to solve all the world’s problems and be superman, but at least handle your shit. Take care of yourself, manage your money, be responsible at work. Basic. Don’t expect a woman with a perfect body if you have flaws of your own, don’t expect a woman to be independent and make her own money when you don’t have your own, and don’t expect a woman to “put out” for you when you ain’t got the moves yourself. Be who you want to attract. No, she don’t want no scrub. I was appalled, but convinced you that I cared about your stories. 5. Show Your Appreciation. So you might not be the best at remembering birthdays or anniversaries, but there are other ways to show you appreciate her. Sometimes, she can be wrapped up in the things that are going on in her life and be so overwhelmed that her laundry’s backed up, or the dishes haven’t gotten to… her dog has been cooped up at the apartment… I’m not saying to become a “man-ny” for her, but doing something as small as taking one item off her to-do list will make her eternally grateful. Show her you appreciate her time by freeing it up for her. By doing that, you’ve got more time to be together, she’s got more energy and hey-oh. Bring on the wine. 6. Be Observant. It amazes me to this day what little details my husband can pick up from my daily nuances. He has a way of knowing what I need at the end of the night because of things I’ve let him know during the day about how it’s going. I have a pretty stressful day job and most of the time my projects take a long time to complete, so I don’t get to see immediate progress at the end of the day. One night, I was particular stressed out because I felt like as much work as I was putting in, I wasn’t seeing results soon enough. I came home to my husband standing in the kitchen with paint cans, rollers and wine and he told me to pick up a roller and go to town on the walls. Seeing the colors I wanted (because he knows my favorite colors) take over the walls and watching it happen instantaneously completely took away that feeling of not seeing progress. Observe her lifestyle and see what ways you can enrich it for her. It goes a long way. 7. Be Respectful. We know you have two sides. You have your “bro” side and you have your “boo” side. We don’t mind either of them, but know when it’s appropriate to be one or the other. Communicate with us before you bring us around your friends. We know they might not always be the most “kosher” group. Some girls are totally okay with vulgarity, sports talk and “guys being guys” and some girls aren’t comfortable with it. Know which girl your girl is before you bring out the “bro” and respect both sides, because your friends don’t want to be pegged as assholes, either. 8. Support Her. In summation, I’ve “officially” dated three guys since my epic ex. No. Not through your bank account. (If she’s looking at you to support her financially without any interest of accumulating her own source of income, it’s probably not the best grounds to start a relationship.) Support her beliefs, her passion, her ambitions… her goals. Be supportive of the things she decides to pursue be it professionally or personally. Don’t diminish what dreams she has even if they’re not reasonable to you. Talk to her if you feel that way, but don’t discourage her. When you’re in a relationship, you protect each other’s integrity, so don’t ever do something that would harm her (or your) reputation— especially when she’s trying to make a mark in her career. 9. Listen. This does not mean blankly stare at her until her jaw stops moving. “Hearing” is not the same as “listening.” Yes, we as women like to talk a lot and sometimes, we can get carried away, but if we’re taking the time out of our day to say anything at all to you, there’s a reason. You might have different standards than us as to what’s important or not, but if it’s important to us, then it should be important to you. You want to keep us happy, right? (Translation: you want us to stop talking, right?) Then listen to what we have to say no matter how irrelevant you think it is. 10. Be Romantic… At Least Once in a While. I said once in a while. Don’t go breaking the bank and trying to ball if you don’t got the guap. That’s just ignorant. Some guys overdo it and some guys couldn’t be romantic if their life depended on it. We’re not expecting puppies and diamonds everyday (and if she is, sit her down and ask her very politely what her priorities are…). We just want to feel desired. Romantic gestures don’t always have to be big. They can be small and sweet. Randomly take her out to where you first met and re-enact your first date on a night she’s feeling down. Upload the newest album from one of her favorite artists on her playlist while she’s away so it’s ready to listen to for her morning commute… And yeah, once in a while, go big. Fill the house with candles and roses and all that other sweet crap, and make it personal. She just wants to know you want her. 11. Make Love. This can mean more than just sex. I say “make love” and I mean be intimate with her. Know her body, know her mind. Connect with her in a way that’s welcoming, inviting and embracing. Don’t just lock the door and say, “welcome to the jungle, bitch!” (At least not seriously, we all appreciate a good laugh.) Yes, we do like confidence. We like when you can show us your masculinity and that your hard work at the gym’s paid off. But so much of the time, we’re aware that you’re so conscious of trying to be a rock star in bed that you’re not really paying attention to the cues we’re giving you of what we want to feel. Sometimes, we’re shy about what we want, and sometimes, we don’t know what you want. It’s okay to tell us what you like and how you like it. It’ll give us that comfort to know that we can tell you what we want. Sex is supposed to be communicative, mutual, and reciprocating. If you’re in that mindset of “I’m getting mine, I hope you get yours,” then you’re missing out on a whole deeper level that you could both be enjoying a lot more. Don’t be afraid to explore each other. Just always remember to communicate. I’m a free spirit, a word junkie and info-nerd.

Latest in CalendarLatest in Calendar Calendar Arts Recommended Creative Cultivation The ongoing collaboration between nonprofit Internet radio station/music collective dublab and the eclectic ambitions of the JF Chen design emporium has produced some fascinating results over the years, as the unlikely allies share a love of progressive local, global and even experimental cultural independence. Both subscribe to a more-is-merrier attitude when it comes to curating the cultural mixing pot. So it's only fitting that this year's annual dublab fundraiser salon, Creative Cultivation, doubles as the inauguration party for the newest iteration of the JF Chen juggernaut. Among the featured guests, sponsors and participants are zeitgeist favorites like The Album Leaf, Grace Oh, Sqirl, Tanya Aguiniga, Carlos Nino, Grand Central Market, Fusicology and Tito's Handmade Vodka. That means the party checklist includes DJs, live music, art, multimedia/video installations, impossibly gorgeous elements of classic and contemporary interior design, cocktails, yummy catered food and other interactive surprises. Oh, and your ticket is tax-deductible. No wonder they need 34,000 square feet — that's a lot of creativity to cultivate. JF Chen, 1000 N. Highland Ave., Hlywd.; Thu., April 3, 7-11 p.m.; $100.

More Apr. 3 JF Chen Shana Nys Dambrot Calendar Dance Recommended Tere O'Connor Dance The Skirball Cultural Center doesn't present much dance, but when it does, the group usually is a modern/contemporary company, usually from New York, usually worth attention, and usually connected with Jewish culture. Choreographer Tere O'Connor and his troupe clearly fill the first three criteria, and the two works being performed, Sister and Poem, may touch on the fourth element. As a choreographer, O'Connor is known for finding unexplored middle ground between seeming unalterably opposite elements. The two works scheduled here are part of a multiyear project titled BLEED, which O'Connor has described as exploring how conflicting cultures eventually blend in a symbiotic relationship. Given how much blood is spilled in cultural/geopolitical/religious conflicts, the search for blending rather than bleeding is a noble endeavor. After seeing parts of BLEED in a studio setting, Skirball director of programs Jordan Peimer convinced O'Connor to stage the performance in the Getty Gallery rather than the theater. As an extra bonus, on Saturday morning, O'Connor and the dancers offer Movement for Non-Dancers, a free workshop about his approach to movement and a chance for participants to develop a bit of their own choreography. (Advance reservations required: workshops@skirball.org.) Skirball Cultural Center, Getty Gallery, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Brentwood; April 3-4, 8 p.m.; free workshop Sat., April 5, 11 a.m.; $25, $20 full-time students. (310) 440-4500, skirball.org. More Apr. 3 Skirball Cultural Center Ann Haskins Calendar Dance Recommended Tajal Harrell A few years back, choreographer Trajal Harrell realized that the post modern movement centered at Judson Church and voguing by drag queens in Harlem evolved during the same period in New York City in the early 1960s. 50 years later, Harrell has developed a rep for exploring why Judson Church is considered revered dance history, but voguing is not, and making a case for why attention should be paid. This visit, Harrell and a quartet of dancers revisit that era and the possibilities if those stars of voguing had been part of post modern Judson Church? That bit of history helps with deciphering Harrell’s Antigone Sr./Twenty Looks or Paris Is Burning at the Judson Church (L) onstage this weekend.

In order to keep everything in some kind of perspective, author and Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson hosts a memorial to mark his friend's passing. It'll be an evening of words, music, tea and commiseration. Two years ago, Erlandson saw the publication of Letters to Kurt, a heartfelt compendium of meditations on loss and friendship. In a very real way, even after death we still remain friends with those who have passed — but more importantly, this is a time to get together to tell the friends who are still here how much you love them and how much they mean to you.

In a way, the story of “Call for Papers: Italo Bressan, Franco Marrocco and Alessandro Savelli” is as much a story about friendship as it is about modern European painting. The three artists are close in age. All attended the Brera Art Academy in Milan, and all currently teach there (Marrocco is also the school’s director). Although they worked independently and experimented with other media during the conceptual and stylistic reformations of the 1970s and ’80s, all three eventually not only returned to Brera but to abstract painting as well. Curated by Anna Dusi and Giovanni Iovane, the show (as its name implies) comprises works on paper and references the academic and poetic idioms in which they remain rooted. Concurrently, Bergamot Station’s ADC/Building Bridges hosts “Franco Marrocco: Work on Paper,” curated by Dusi and Marisa Caichiolo, exploring the artist’s versatility in creating substantial works of art with the most ephemeral of materials. After all, he is the director. “Call for Papers:” Italian Cultural Institute. 1023 Hilgard Ave., Wstwd.; Wed., March 5, 6:30 p.m.; continues through April 5, Mon.-Fri., 10 a.m.-1 p.m. & 2-5 p.m.; Sat., 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; free.

Raves Are Back? By Dennis Romero Texting Crackdown By Dennis Romero Disaster City By Dennis Romero Jay-Z vs. DTLA By Dennis Romero Issues at Oxy By Jessica Ogilvie Porn vs. Hard Summer by Timothy Norris for LA Weekly The plans for a summer festival featuring Jay Z at downtown L.A.'s Grand Park include an electronic dance music component, or "techno area," and could open the doors to controversial raves, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a memo that argues against the Aug. 30 and 31 concert. See also: Jay Z Concert in Grand Park Sparks L.A. The memo, obtained by the Weekly, says, "Allowing this event would set a precedent for other concerts. The LAPD memo says costly perimeter policing would result if Jay Z and rave artists were allowed to take over the park. The loud music and [a] $100.00 price would encourage persons to jump fences in order to enter the location, especially near the "Techno Music" area, where attempts to sneak into the venue is common-place and almost a challenge. Jay Z aside, raves and electronic dance music (EDM) concerts have had a hart time finding venues in the greater L.A. market. As the scene has grown - Electric Daisy Carnival sells more than 100,000 tickets for its annual fest in Las Vegas - neighbors' tolerance for their booming bass and party-hearty crowds has waned. On top of all that, EDM's Hard Summer festival and the FYF Fest are without their usual L.A. homes this year because their previous venue, Los Angeles State Historic Park, is closed for renovations. Hard is headed to Whittier Narrows Recreation Area this summer, as the Weekly reported first in February. One concert insider who did not want his name used told us that Hard's organizers were interested in using Grand Park at some point but would first see how things go at Whittier Narrows. Insomniac, the company behind Electric Daisy Carnival, which helped to shut raves out at the publicly owned L.A. Coliseum complex after a teen who had sneaked in and later died of ecstasy intoxication was inextricably linked to the event, is also interested in Grand Park. The company, arguably the largest EDM show organizer in the nation, announced in February that it doesn't have Southern California venues for some of its biggest annual events after holding three festivals last year at San Manuel Amphitheater. We'd love nothing more than to bring a festival back to our hometown of Los Angeles. Finding a venue that's big enough to host a festival is always a challenge, and Grand Park could be the perfect location with an amazing backdrop. Another top concert promoter who did not want to be named told us he had been talking with Grand Park officials on and off for more than a year about hosting a festival there. He wouldn't say if he had EDM, indie or something else in mind. The police memo shows that Goldenvoice's FYF Fest requested to use Grand Park two years ago but opted for the State Historic Park near Chinatown after being turned down. Though raves have been the subject of bad press throughout the nation in recent years, things have changed a lot since 2010, when L.A.-based Electric Daisy Carnival became the lightning rod for controversy over the parties. For one thing, the biggest concert promoters in the country have largely taken over the electronic dance music market. Live Nation is the king of concert companies, and it has a 50 percent stake in Insomniac. Likewise, it bought out Hard in 2012. Boosters of EDM argue that the events have become increasingly safe and professionalized as a result. We reached out to a Live Nation representative but she did not address our questions. Our concert insider who gave us information about Hard's potential designs for Grand Park said Live Nation has shown interest in doing a variety of ticketed events at the downtown venue. The Live Nation-promoted Budweiser Made in America festival featuring Jay Z, which appears to have been green-lighted by the office of Mayor Eric Garcetti, would sell 50,000 tickets for two days. It would be the first ticketed concert at the venue, which was billed as "the park for everyone" when it opened in the summer of 2012. A City Hall official who did not want to be named said L.A. leaders appeared to be open to raves, but he emphasized that each event at Grand Park would have to be considered on a case-by-case basis. "Any event is possible if it's well-planned-out," he said. Keep in mind that Garcetti, who appeared on KCAL9 TV last night sounding enthusiastic over the possibility of a Jay Z show, appears to be a fan of EDM. When he was running for mayor he held a fundraiser at Avalon Hollywood at which top DJ Steve Aoki performed. "If you like electronic music, then L.A. is where the DJ scene is at," he said during the May event. This party tonight literally could determine the outcome [of the race]. If you were each responsible for 100 voters, this room could turn this election my way. The next month he told a Reddit Ask Me Anything audience that raves should be able to return to L.A., specifically to the publicly owned Coliseum. See also: Raves Should Be Able to Return to L.A. Two representatives at the office of L.A. County Supervisor Gloria Molina, who is largely credited with getting Grand Park built, said she wouldn't necessarily object to raves. The venue is run jointly by the city and the county, though the city could have outsize influence as a result of having jurisdiction over park-dissecting streets that would have to be closed. When it comes to Jay Z or raves, Molina spokeswoman Roxane Marquez told us, "So far she doesn't have any objection. Grand Park was envisioned as a venue for all different types of events, including concerts. She's concerned with just making it safe. Marquez said that although an objection by Molina would carry much weight, programming at the venue is "pretty independent. We called Lucas Rivera, director of the park and the man responsible for programming. A spokeswoman said the Jay Z event was "a rental" with the city "working" directly with promoter Live Nation. We weren't able reach Rivera to ask what he thinks about raves. Hard by Timothy Norris for LA Weekly Brady Westwater, a concerned resident sometimes credited as being the unofficial "mayor of downtown," didn't like the sound of it when we told him raves could be coming to Grand Park. "If you're going to go straight-up rave I think that would be insane," he told us. "I'm not even a huge fan of doing ticketed events there. In public parks security is going to be porous at best. KPCC broke the news of the Jay Z concert Tuesday. The same day LA Weekly learned that the concert was such a done deal in City Hall that a press conference had been scheduled for Tuesday to announce ticket sales. It was canceled after news leaked of the event. Downtown area city Councilman Jose Huizar, who clearly appears to feel like he was cut out of the loop, filed a council motion that asks for a report on "any permits, actions, public safety concerns, and any necessary cost implications of the proposed" noon-to-11 p.m. event. He proposes to withhold permits until he's seen that report. One of his main concerns is downtown street closures that could last as many as 10 days, according to the motion. The mayor tried to assuage critics by saying approval for two-day party will be brought before the full City Council, although such a move is neither customary nor necessary. A few months ago the LAPD issued that opinion about the Jay Z show, unbeknownst, apparently, to the local councilman and the public at-large. The city may run into legal issues should they deny other events after allowing this Music Festival. Approximately 2 years ago, Goldenvoice Entertainment requested this area for a smaller audience (Approx 20,000 persons) and was denied. As a result, they began holding the shows in the LA State Historic Park. Allowing this Music Festival could result in several "Raves" a year in the downtown area.

Although the bike race was cancelled days before the event due to a permit issue, Wolfpack Hustle, the event's organizer, was able to work with LAPD and the Mayor's office to permit a fun ride.

With tremendous courage, Damian Kevitt, a hit-and-run survivor who's leg was torn off in a horrific accident, lead the ride. All photos by Nanette Gonzales. ©2014 LA Weekly, LP, All rights reserved.
