Okay, the Emmy’s are going on, but screw that - we’re celebrating Veronica’s, aka Black Woman Sidekick, Bike Oven volunteer and event planner, birthday with cupcakes, tacos, and (of course) beer.

Entry to this fiesta of gustatory and A/V delights is free, but bring a little change to pay for the beer.

We were so buzzed the last time we saw this month’s film, El Topo, that we’re not sure what it was about (but there is a sequel coming out soon!). Be prepared to shocked - nudity, girls dressed in black, seas of blood, etc. Hey, it’s an adventure!

El Topo was burned by the film’s producer, but was save through some handy back up reels. The filmmaker, Jodorosky, is on par with Werner Herzog.

Jodorsky also got stoned (literally, with rocks) for showing this movie in Mexico. He’s now living safely in France. A bunch of his films were burned by that same producer. Somebody get a fire extinguisher and follow that guy around already!

The event takes place at the Bike Oven, located at 3706 N. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90065 at 8 p.m. on Sunday, September 21, 2008.
