This hunt is not for the meek or the timid. Sponsored by FYF Fest, some of the items off of last year's list included obtaining a dreadlock, a fresh tattoo, a photo kissing a drive-through employee and shaving the team's name into someone's hair. None of the same clues will be repeated this year, but they will be equally outrageous. Prizes for Saturday's six-hour hunt include an all-expense-paid trip to Primavera Sound, a music festival in Barcelona, and the chance for your band to open at FYF Fest next year. Proceeds go to local charities.
$10 entry fee
Saturday, Dec. 4, 2 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Seeing the complex sound of Massachusetts group Passion Pit come alive in concert this Saturday is worth the drive out to The Fox Theatre in Pomona.
