 (LA) Calling all cops and sweet tooths: For Your Art will host the 1st ever 'round the clock' donut pop-up shop this weekend off Wilshire Blvd.  As many know, LA is a mecca for 24hour donut joints. Some of the metro's best bakeries and diners will offer foodies their confectioned toroids from noon on the 24th till noon on the 25th in 2 hour stints (click to see the full schedule).  I of course HAVE to try the Apple Fritter by Inglewood's historical landmark Randy's, but Nickle Diner's Bacon Maple sounds just too good to pass up as well! The event coincides with LACMA's free screening of Christian Marclay's 24 hour film: The Clock {FREE} For Your Art 6020 Wilshire Blvd.

Movin' down a crowded avenue

Doing anything we like to do

There's always lots of things that we can see

You can be anyone we like to be

All those happy people we could meet

Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
