In 1942 five aircraft companies, including Lockheed, and McDonnell Douglas, joined forces to create the Southern California Cooperative Wind Tunnel to test aircraft for aerodynamic data. The 19,000-square-foot facility was one of the first large supersonic wind tunnels in the world. The "Coop Wind Tunnel" contributed to the development of postwar commercial and military aircraft from 1945 to 1960. In 2001 Art Center College of Design acquired the building for use as a public exhibition hall, and this Saturday night at 8pm Fritz Haeg will be holding a party in the wind tunnel to celebrate the conclusion of his gardenLAb experiment, which brought over 100 of our city's artists, architects, designers, writers, film makers, performers, educators, politicians, activists, pacifists, scientists, academics and thinkers to experiment, meditate and speculate our relationship to Los Angeles.

Speaking of relationships to Los Angeles, the Electronic Music scene has had a tenuous one at best, however things are looking up in the near future. On 10/21 head to the Conga Room at 5364 Wilshire Blvd. to support the Morgan Geist and the Metro Area DJs, and on 11/4 join Tiga as he spins at the neon-bathed Key Club at 9030 Sunset in WeHo.
