On the last Thursday of each month, Southern California's axis of underground pop culture, Wacko / La Luz de Jesus Gallery hosts Billy's Thursday Night Fish Fry & Community Social. The monthly event presents a diverse multi-media mixed-bag variety show of acoustic based music, spoken word, unusual performance and more, putting a spotlight on several generations of Los Angeles' performers. Billy Shire calls the night a "21st century salon" and aims to re-connect the local creative community with a free, two plus hour "in the round" show, with the performers in the center of the gallery. The show is open to all ages and there is NO cover charge!

The GI JOE STOP MOTION FILM FESTIVAL will be showing a short program for the 2nd BILLY'S THURSDAY NIGHT FISH FRY COMMUNITY SOCIAL. This special screening program will present a variety of acclaimed and visionary films by a diverse group of global filmmakers - from animation iconoclasts to highly anticipated emerging directors. Six short films made the cut, including the music video for Zombie Zombie, the electrifying French duo of Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman, directed by Simon Gesrel and Xavier Ehretsmann.
