Los Angeles

To make Tax Day blow slightly less, enjoy a slew of Free at the Santa Monica pier, including Korean tacos from Kogi, screen-printed tees from Long Beach customizers Hit & Run, party-happy electro-laced indie rock from Brooklyn's Matt & Kim, gift packs from Levi's, and a powersliding competition featuring top-ranked artisans of the extreme sport (basically skateboard-style grinding on body parts instead of wheels) with "celebrity judges" Johnny Moseley, Wee Man, and Girls Next Door's Kendra Wilkinson...so make that "judges".
