I love this idea - A free concert in the beautiful Union Train Station but it's only free if you ride public transportation to the concert. It's called Public Displays of Affection hosted by non-profit activist group Global Inheritance. They plan to do a handful at Union Station in the next coming months - tomorrow night's inauguration kicks off with Secret Machines and DJ Shepard Fairey (of OBEY fame). There will also be a photography show by Mark Hunter aka CobraSnake, showcasing LA's public transportation. Remember, you can only get in with a bus or subway ticket purchased the day of the concert not originating from Union Station. (No cheating!) Catch the stops here:
