This event is the first in a upcoming series of concerts that Global Inheritance hopes will help Angelenos rediscover the lost art of public transportation.
Anyone who rides the train or bus into Union Station this day will be able to use their ticket stub to enter the show for free. Also, FYI, for those planning to just drive to Union Station and buy a ticket, that doesn’t count, tickets purchased at Union Station will not be permitted, plus what would be the fun or adventure in that. Taking the train in LA is fun, I’ve actually only done it once in college for my Cultural Geography class, but it pretty interesting, as I love the adventure in mass transit and think that Los Angeles’ lack of larger mass transit system and it’s citizens who refuse to embrace it will be the city’s achilles heal in the future.
In addition to The Secret Machine’s live set, Shepard Fairey will be DJing throughout the night, and The Cobrasnake will have an art exhibit featuring his photos documenting L.A.’s public transportation system.
