With the temperatures blazing in the Coachella Valley over the weekend, shade and cold, delicious beverages, preferably beside a pristine body of purified water, was the ideal scenario to keep cool for all land mammals in the area, including this year's festival artists. So it was a good thing Soho House decided to swoop in for a three-day pop-up oasis with BACARDI at a sprawling estate where lineup acts like La Roux, Major Lazer, New Order and Vampire Weekend could take refuge in the lap of luxury.

An enthusiastic and vibrant crowd of partiers who were just as content to be a part of the second round of Desert Gold Coachella festivities came out to the Ace Hotel and Swim Club in Palm Springs on Sunday to get down with The Do-Over and Adidas Originals. Guests at the DoChella 2013 party grubbed out on poolside BBQ and booze, while jamming to DJ sets and doing cannonballs into the pool. Hosted by Haycock, Strong and Blacc this party may not have had celeb guests running around, but that didn't stop these Weekend 2 revelers from throwing down like champs and enjoying the phenomenal Palm Springs weather.

For some famous faces, the best method of escaping the sting of Coachella FOMO was to not have it all by coming back for Weekend 2, and we cannot say we blame them since team GofG L.A. did the same. Although not nearly as celebrity-saturated as the week prior, there were certainly notables scattered across the polo field basking in the glorious sunshine and sandstorm-free weekend festival. Some diehards like Alessandra Ambrosio even doubled-down, coming out for round two after last weekend. See her, Karlie Kloss, Gerard Butler, Jessica Alba and others festing it up at Coachella Weekend 2 as captured by Instagram.

Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio toast champagne while Charlize Theron and Bill Clinton trade fedoras backstage at the GLAAD Media Awards; Demetri Martin and Molly Ringwald debut their tomes at the Festival of Books; David Arquette and James Van Der Beek attend the Ballet Rubies Gala; Jeffrey Deitch, Ellen Pompeo and Terry Richardson hit up the "Yesssss!" 2013 MOCA Gala; the brothers Hemsworth aren't too cool for school at the City Year Los Angeles' Spring Break: Destination Education Party—were you at Coachella Weekend 2? These celebs weren't either. Check them all out at L.A.'s top events in this weekend edition of Last Night's Parties.

Back in 2007, Record Store Day was conceived as a way to draw attention to the fast-dwindling, unique culture of the local, plucky and pretentious record store. Happening this Saturday (possibly to coincide with 4/20?), the celebration has spread across the U.S.. With a dizzying list of vinyl LPs being released exclusively for Record Store Day, there are many reasons for music lovers to make pilgrimages to their local record shops. But even with the growing list of vinyl enthusiasts, there are plenty of us who are still afraid of needles and prefer to hunker down over our Spotify libraries. Thankfully, there are plenty of things happening on Record Store Day besides the sale of records—live concerts, DJ sets, free goodies and we're happy to provide your guide to the best events in L.A. to hit on Record Store Day.
