Saturday, Feb. 23

2 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Put on your dancing shoes and bring your best moves to Trojan Dance Marathon — a 12-hour dance-a-thon that raises money for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles! Currently in its sixth year, Dance Marathon is hoping to raise $100,000 for the hospital. All you have to do is register online at www.trojandm.org. While the event is open to all, fundraising $15 will get you an event T-shirt and $30 will get you food for the duration of the whole event.

EAT YOUR ART OUT (ART AUCTION)

Titmouse, Inc.

Saturday, Feb. 23

Drive-in movie parties and art auctions might not be the first two events that come to mind when thinking of roller derby, but the sixth annual Eat Your Art Out event will surely change your mind. Ringing in this year’s event with a charming monster theme, art from local and international artists will be sold off to the public and  proceeds will go toward the Keep A Breast Foundation. There will also be plenty of gourmet food trucks as well as stocked open bars, DJ sets, photobooths and lighthearted B movies.

Appearances will be made by The Walking Dead’s Danai “Micchone” Gurira and Laurie “Andrea” Holden along with Edward Furlong of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. But the most revered guests at this convention will be the dedicated comic book dealers ready to sell and buy wares from comic book fans of all ages.
