Well, it’s the eve of All Hallow’s Eve, so some kind of marker should be set down as we slide into the space where our distance from the dead is at its closest — yes, I really do believe in this sort of thing. We all have our methods of running with the spectral side, with various levels of solemnity and debauchery. If you find yourself more attracted to the latter, zip on over to the Miniplex at 7 p.m., where you can enjoy the musical stylings of Los Angeles Latin siblings duo Tropa Magica, along with DJ dance curations by Pandemonium Jones and Hispanic! at the Disco. That should warm the blood a bit and remind the departed what fun is out there for of us still on this side of the veil of tears ($25 general, $20 advance).
