Mindshare LA (Los Angeles Theatre Center, 514 S Spring St.; 213.489.0994) is a monthly evening event highlighting inspiring presentations and performances in a lush atmosphere. It’s like a hybrid between a conference and a party, with crowds ranging from 300 – 500 people. The evening usually begins with a more challenging topic to applied creative endeavors, and finishing with art or performances. They call this “enlightened debauchery.” $25-30
