DAY TWO: SUNDAY, AUGUST 31st – The LA Scavenger Hunt:

The LA Scavenger Hunt will be begin at the Echo Park Lake at 2:00pm and end at 7:00pm in downtown LA. This hunt covers a greater part of Los Angeles and has a list that is made up of 100 items. Here are a few items that were on the list for the last scavenger hunt:

-One Person on the team getting a flat top with their name shaved into the back of their head.
-Life sized cut out of Eazy E.
-Photograph of team member kissing a stranger on the lips. 50 extra points if they are a senior citizen.

It’s not easy and that’s why we make it that the winning team gets $500 cash, 10 cds every month for a year from Finger Prints Music and tons of swag from Incase, In the Red Records, a Gibson guitar, 12 pairs of shoes Onitsuka Tiger, tickets to see Hot Chip & Mogwai + so much more and a few stand out prizes:

-1hr to play whatever you want on KXLU (88.9fm in Los Angeles) on Friday, September 5th from 4:00pm – 5:00pm. Thank you Matt from KXLU for making this happen.
-The opening slot on Mess With Texas 3 + $200 cash to get to Austin to perform. Mess With Texas is a free party that takes place during SXSW. This past year the Breeders, NOFX, Simian Mobile Disco, Lucero and Islands were amongst the bands that played to over 8,000 in attendance. I organize the event with two friends. Your band or a band of your choice (your best friends band) get to play.
-The largest whiskey bottle known to man. Actually, it’s not the largest but 5 gallons is big and if the winners are underage they will get a keg of crystal clear pepsi or fruit punch.
-Crystal Antlers play in your living room. This is probably the best gift. We will bring a PA, keg & the beautiful band Crystal Antlers to play to your friends.
+ much much more.

The Cause:
Forty items on the list are material goods that the Union Rescue Mission is in need of. The Union Rescue Mission houses hundreds of homeless families in downtown Los Angeles and is one of the few missions that works with the homeless to get back on their feet. With the last scavenger hunt we were able to donate thousands of dollars of material goods and plan to do the same with this year’s event.

After the Scavenger Hunt, Dan Deacon will be playing an intimate show at the 6th St Warehouse in downtown LA. The cost is $5 if you are a part of the hunt and $8 if not.
This will be the perfect way to cap off the summer.
