The Best Sources for Finding out about Events at UCLA

Want to know the latest happenings on campus? Here are some excellent sources:

  1. UCLA Happenings: This website lists events across campus in a variety of formats and is also searchable. They offer a customizable list of RSS feeds for 10 different categories of events for 5 different time periods. They also have options for Google and Yahoo! Calendar live feed. UCLA Happenings is also on Twitter.
  2. Campus Events Commission: CEC organizes numerous campus events (many of them free or very low cost), which are primarily geared towards students. They are responsible for the "Free Sneaks" (often followed by Q&As with someone involved in the film) and the free noontime concerts. You can subscribe to their weekly email newsletter, join them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter.
  3. School of Theater, Film & Television: A great source for film screenings and student plays on campus, with many free events.. You can subscribe to email or RSS calendar updates. I highly recommend subscribing to their mailing list: http://www2.tft.ucla.edu/mailing_list/. You will receive periodic emails for free tickets to events both on and off campus for which there is normally a charge.

The mysterious ?????? band came to L.A. this weekend. Were you there? We were! Learn more after the jump.

Joining forces with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco, Thom Yorke of Radiohead delighted Angelenos with impromptu shows at the Echoplex and the Orpheum this weekend. Yorke played music from his 2006 solo album "The Eraser" and showcased several new songs, including the following song, known alternatively as "Lotus Flower" or "Moon Upon a Stick." We hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
