That Burning Man Feeling, Chitty Chitty, Mariachis and Tut’s Guts

FRIDAY, JUNE 17 A hipster tipster (okay, publicist) tells us that the first annual DeviantARTSummitwill have “Burning Man flair” to spare. It’s a two-day gathering of the digital-art community and their fans. Planned are classes and panels, plus live nude drawing and something called the Creation Station, where Burning Man–man Keith Greco will be at the center of a ginormous tent that offers any artist so inclined to contribute to the installation. Also on sale: That Burning Man Feeling spray, which re-creates the popular and really vile body odor.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22 Steve Cohen didn’t want to be a magician.

Today, he’s considered one of the sneakiest in the biz, according to fans Martha Stewart and David Rockefeller, who should know. He brings his acclaimed ChamberMagic show from NYC’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel to Beverly Hills for four performances.

THURSDAY, JUNE 23 Speaking of relics, the rides of Queen Elizabeth, Pope John Paul II and others of far too much power are spotlighted in “Presidents,Popes and Potentates” at the Petersen Automotive Museum. By examining the cars of heads of state, viewers learn about the unique uses of transport for parades and royal processions. But can this be as interesting as learning that the horses in the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace are “corked” before certain ceremonies? As is the Queen herself, if you ask our opinion.
