May the fourth be with you! Or in this case, Saturday May the 2nd, which will be the date for the Star Girls cosplay burlesque show and party this year. Door at 9:30; live punk rock lounge covers by the Alien Cantina Band at 10; burlesque starts at 11. Fan marketplace and art show happens throughout the night. Tickets and more info available at www.devilsplaygroundla.com as show date draws near. Advance tickets are *highly* recommended as this show always sells out.
