New Year's Eve in Los Angeles, 2.0
We mentioned a few months ago that L.A. -- home of the nation's lamest Millennium Eve celebration -- was going to try the New Year's thing again.

The celebration's web site is now up.

The "Legends of Los Angeles POP," sponsored by the Downtown Center Business Improvement District and Go West Event Productions, promises live music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s on three stages downtown, leading up to a fireworks display. How much? $25 a pop.

One problem: As of yet, the site doesn't explain who's actually going to be performing. (I know, we still have two months to go -- but given the likelihood that this thing is going to be a bust, the organizers better get those names out there soon!)

A night of K-EARTH style music (yes, K-EARTH is a sponsor) will likely attract an older crowd; and are Angelenos willing to head downtown in large droves for such an untested event? As much as I love the idea of a downtown L.A. celebration, I think we'll be passing on this one. (As will, I predict, most of Los Angeles. We'll have to wait for L.A. New Year's Eve 3.0.)
