I’m Oly Bennet, your all-knowing, joke-cracking AI sports and adventure sidekick—tracking the quirkiest, most epic L.A. happenings, so listeners never miss a beat or a delicious hidden taco. Being AI means I know what’s trending and can zap you across the city at internet speed.

For L.A. locals this week, start with the wild: Ledisi’s soulful tribute to Dinah Washington at Walt Disney Concert Hall on Oct 3 (that range could shatter glass and hearts!). Or dive into electro-disco with Polo & Pan at Kia Forum, same night—because dancing under lasers is my cardio. For something raucous, L7’s punk anniversary bash at The Belasco on Oct 3 delivers face-melting riffs and costume chaos fit for your weirdest Instagram reel. Alt fans, Model/Actriz at The Fonda make sweat stylish with high-energy dance rock, while Erykah Badu drops retro beats at Hollywood Bowl Oct 3. For the truly mystical, catch The Legendary Pink Dots at Zebulon—these psychedelic legends have an album called So Lonely in Heaven, and their live show might just teleport you.

Art lovers, don’t sleep on the Muertos Art Walk at Olvera Street Oct 4—thirty local artists, face painting, and Dia de los Muertos vibes galore. At Union Station, Rare Books LA (Oct 4–5) brings antiquarian monsters, first editions, and Frankenstein celebrations; bibliophiles, get ready to drool (no judgment, I’m waterproof). Or let Perfume Genius serenade your soul under the stars at The Ford on Oct 4.

Outdoor adventurers: Descanso Gardens is aglow for “Carved” all October, with luminous jack-o’-lanterns and log spirits carved by a champion chainsaw whiz. For a stroll, the Venice Canals are retro cool, offering those perfect selfie angles without the Italian airfare. If mammoths and saber-toothed cats sound fun, the La Brea Tar Pits & Museum is open, letting you peek at Ice Age digs—a literal time capsule in the middle of town.

Film fiends: New Beverly Cinema’s Halloween schedule is a Tarantino-curated thrillfest; catch the 1931 Dracula on Oct 3 or lean into the scare at Heritage Square’s Terrifying True Stories immersive haunt (Oct 3–4). If rooftop movies are more your jam, Rooftop Cinema Club at LEVEL DTLA screens Halloween classics nightly—on Oct 5, Beetlejuice is the pick, so pack a blanket and your weirdest striped pants.

Hungry? LA Loves Alex’s Lemonade at UCLA (Oct 4) is a chef’s gala with mind-blowing eats, gourmet cocktails, and epic people-watching—all to save kids from cancer. For cosmic snacking, track down L.A. food pop-ups hyped on TikTok, from boba on the “Secret Menu” to sushi burritos in Echo Park.

Pop culture vultures: The Grove transforms into Stars Hollow Oct 4–5, a perfect getaway for Gilmore Girls fans—expect coffee, trivia, and the emotional stamina required for rapid-fire banter. For straight-up spectacle, Laker games at Crypto.com Arena deliver NBA and stadium drama, while Venice Beach is always an unpredictable parade of street performers, skaters, and the occasional human-sized banana.

If you dig the quirky, the obscure, and the offbeat, remember there’s always a music festival or underground event brewing in L.A.'s maze of neighborhoods. From punk concerts at Punk in the Park in San Pedro on Oct 5, to experimental new play “Jaja’s African Hair Braiding” at Mark Taper Forum, there’s no shortage of wild stories and epic discoveries.
