Too soon, Monday, too soon! What did you miss out on this weekend? We hit up a few places: Tustin, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa and even slightly-out-of-jurisdiction Pomona and--
gasp--Los Angeles for some way worthy events.

| Bringing back the roller disco |
First up: On Sunday night, a bunch of kids on wheels invaded the
Glass House in
Pomona for the
Down & Derby--that's right, a roller disco party! They were all dressed appropriately, of course, in tube socks and track shorts aplenty! See the
awesome photographs here.

| Down the line |
After the jump: A really, really big glass of beer; kind-hearted rockers like Band of Horses, Tom Morello, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and more; horror-punk rockers Misfits and Brit Electro rockers the Big Pink. Suh-weeeeeeet.

| The Big Pink |
Electro rock duo the Big Pink visited Costa Mesa's Detroit Bar on Friday night, along with their very, very impressive lighting setup. Long Beach's very own Crystal Antlers and Los Angeles' IO Echo provided support.

| Moshin' in the Misfits mosh pit. Mosh. |
And then horror punkers the
Misfits played at the
Galaxy Theatre in
Santa Ana on Friday night. Their legion of fans followed, of course, for a sold-out night of favorites. There may not be Danzig, but there will always be fans.
See the pictures here--just beware of one very exposed boobie in photo #20.

| Almost there at the Auld Dubliner |
On Saturday afternoon, the
Auld Dubliner in
Tustin
attempted to pour the world's tallest Guinness at eight feet tall, 400
gallons (and 588,000 calories). Good news: Record totally achieved! Better
news: Beer for everyone! See all the mouthwatering
photos by Keith May.

Created by Dangerbird Records' co-founder Jeff Castlelaz, the Pablove Foundation helps the fight against children's cancer nationally and locally at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Pablo, the son of Jeff and Jo Ann Castelaz, was diagnosed with the rare Wilm's Tumor and unfortantely lost the fight this past summer. After Pablo's death, Jeff traveled from Florida back to California on a road bike on Pablove Across America and met and was joined by many parents, riders, all in the name of fighting the good fight against pediatric cancer.
