Time Out says

In the clear light of day, does your apartment look like a shrine to mediocrity? Need a collection of Mao Tse-tung wall art or sparkly unicorn floor mats? Spice up your space with the freaky offerings at Wacko Soap Plant, known to locals simply as Wacko’s. A curiosity and book store (with a gallery, La Luz de Jesus, in the back), this sprawling retailer offers an exhaustive collection of everything colorful and cool, like a Ruth Bader Ginsburg bobblehead, tiki mugs, cute plushies and quirky prayer candles (sporting everyone from Dali to Tiny Tim). It’s worth spending an afternoon just amusing yourself with the extensive book collection on kitschy art. There’s also a house line of soaps, oils and lotions (hence the “Soap Plant” in the name).

What’s on

Los Feliz Art & Music Block Party + Mural Festival

Los Feliz is getting a fresh coat of paint August 15, with an accompanying live soundtrack to go with it. The free, all-ages Los Feliz Art & Music Block Party + Mural Festival will bring live painting, performances, local artisan booths, original artwork, community displays and family-friendly activities to Hollywood Boulevard and Vermont Avenue for the ultimate afternoon of creativity. Artists Shepard Fairey, Nychos, Victor Ving, Eric “Zoueh” Skotnes, Angelica Navarro and Jason Filipow will be lending their talents to blank walls as part of the mural program curated by Ryan “Yanoe” Sarfati. Basically, it’s a chance to watch L.A. artists make the neighborhood more colorful in real time (which beats staring at another millennial gray wall), plus listen to live music and browse offerings from local artists at their booths.
