Cheapskate LA - Monday February 24 2025

šŸ‘€ Los Angelesā€™s best no-spend events this week

The cityā€™s best free events from Feb 24-Mar 2

Dear Cheapskater,

Hope you had a great weekend! Last Thursday, we checked out Sam First - and itā€™s a hidden gem! A jazz club and bar tucked away near LAX. An unexpected spot, right? We thought so too. But fun fact: many people go there straight from the airport and, after seeing it for ourselves, we totally understand why. We caught an incredible performance by the World Citizen Band, a contemporary jazz ensemble that gathers musicians from all over the world. Highly recommend sipping on a whiskey sour while letting the music take you away.

Now onto a different kind of magic: Oscars week has arrived, & we're racing (with little success!) to watch all the nominees in time. So far, we've checked off:

šŸŽ¬ Anora (loved it)
šŸŽµ A Complete Unknown (great music)
šŸŽ­ Conclave (acting masterclass)
šŸ§™ā€ā™€ļø Wicked (pure magic)
šŸŒŒ Dune: Part Two (better than Part One)

Up next on our must-watch list: The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, & The Substance.

To celebrate Oscar Week, weā€™ve lined up some fantastic film-themed eventsā€”screenings, a film festival, an Oscar-themed trivia night, & a watch party for the big night, of course! Plus, we've got plenty of other events to keep you entertained.

See ya next week,

Nat
