Of course you know the Echo and the Echo Plex (with a showcase set from EPO member DJ Paul V.) will be rocking Echo Park on New Year's Eve.

They aren't the only one. Check out City Sip's LA Uncorked - Bottomless bubbles - $25 per person.
9pm to midnight. Designated Drivers drink non-alcoholic beverages for FREE! That comes direct from Nicole Daddio at CitySip.

And now the winner for Song of the Year for 2011 is "Dog Days Are Over," by Florence and the Machine, who graced the famed Echo Park Origami Vinyl loft stage in September. The band was featured in the Best Buy Christmas ad and today I heard this song of 98.7 Kiss FM. Pretty cool.
