Territory BBQ and Records Debuts
Imagine a restaurant in L.A. that has all the best barbecue recipes from North Carolina, Memphis, Kansas City and Texas all under one roof!

The Bruery’s 1st Anniversary Bash
Still jonesin’ for craft beer after the craft beer goodness fest last weekend? Fortunately for you, The Bruery is celebrating a birthday with lots of craft beer — anniversary ale Papier, Cuvee Jeune (featured at the Craft Beer Fest) and Melange #3, to name a few. Beachwood BBQ will provide the eats and you get Bruery glassware to take home.

• 11am-6pm. $25. The Bruery, 715 Dunn Way, Placentia (map).

Angel City Derby Girls present The Big One Tournament
An ACDG tournament was on my L.A. bucket list and this would be the mutha of all tournaments as roller derby leagues from both NorCal and SoCal converge at the Toyota Sports Center to tear up some flat track. Who’s gonna win? Local girls or a visiting team? Online sale ends at 5pm on Friday.

• Saturday 12-10pm, Sunday 8:30am-5pm. $20 presale day pass, $30 weekend pass. Toyota Sports Center, 555 N. Nash Street, El Segundo (map).

Cinespia Cemetery Screening Returns: Cool Hand Luke
A favorite L.A. summer pastime, watching movies in a cemetery, is back and it’s got Paul Newman. Yup, kicking off the season with some Cool Hand Luke, a drama about a (gorgeous) prisoner who refuses to conform to the system. I say, bring a picnic of comfort food.

• 7pm. Hollywood Forever Cemetery, 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles (map).

Sunday, May 17
