Monday weekend roundup: Ben Oprstu

At the Echoplex on Friday the 19th (I know! It was a long time ago!), I have to admit that the lads were fashionably outdoing the ladies, and as my eye is drawn more toward men's rather than women's fashion, I was visually pleased and inspired.



Ben Oprstu just keeps getting better and better. I'm glad I get to witness his evolution as a DJ.



Look what he made them do!



This Saturday I caught Ben at the Medusa Lounge. Driving over I found myself wondering if he would indulge our grief and celebration...and he totally did. Ben unabashedly touched on all the Michael Jackson gems, and that's what I love about the way Ben DJs. Ben doesn't shy from pop and he's incredibly skilled at reading the dance floor.

Tucked away as it is on Beverly Blvd, in limbo between Echo Park, Silver Lake, and Hollywood, the Medusa Lounge served a smaller group of people that night, but when the night concluded, Ben had won everyone over.

But that didn't surprise me.
