but the eclectic Culver City café/art gallery is holding some last minute blowout events that fans can still take part in.
On Saturday, will host its Ultimate Tea Party Workshop Event from 10 a.m. to noon, where you can learn how to host your own tea party. Everything from menu planning and tea pairing will be taught, and you’ll also go home with some afternoon tea recipes to try for yourself. And naturally, you’ll get to partake in a full afternoon tea experience, including a pot of fresh brewed tea, sandwiches, scones and desserts.
The workshop will be hosted by Nancy Caldwell of Paper Architect. Tickets are $50 and can be purchased here.
On Sunday, in addition to hosting its regular Tokyo Nouveau Champagne Brunch – complete with $12 bottomless mimosas – it will also be the last day of live music performances at the café. The lineup for Sunday is as follows:
11 a.m. – 3 - p.m. DJ Kahlil
3 – 4 p.m. - Derde Verde
4- 5 p.m. - Robotanists!
About: Derde Verde
Indie-rock trio Derde Verde crafts colorful, chameleon-like song structures sprinkled with noise, analog electronics, melodic guitar lines and rhythmic twists. The L.A. based band named themselves after Val Verde, a rural valley town of coyotes, rolling hills, and big sky, an hour north of the city.
About: Robotanists!
Comprised of songwriters Sarah Ellquist (vocals) and Daniel DeBlanke (guitar), Ihui Cherise Wu (keys, backing vocals) and rhythm section Keith Boyarsky (bass) and Preston Scott Phillips (drums), Robotanists have spent the past couple of years spreading their big choruses and delicate prose across North America on tour and on the radio. Their breakthrough single “Wait a Minute Here” (from the band’s 2008 debut, Close Down The Woods) topped charts in Los Angeles (KCRW, KROQ) and other major cities across the US.
Don’t forget, this Sunday (July 22) is also the last day that food will be served at the café.
