The Laugh Factory in Hollywood (Sunset and Laurel) continues their annual tradition of offering free Thanksgiving meals for anyone hungry.

At 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, and 7PM, people will be welcomed. They will not only get a free meal, but they will be served and entertained by comedians.

The owners do this on Christmas Day, too (though they are Jewish).

Finally home from my European trip, so I have not had the opportunity to post this before, but I've been asked to speak on a panel tonight at California State University Northridge. Topic: Lesbian culture pre vs post stonewall, strongly focusing on how the bars became the center of our community. One bartender from each decade invited to speak. As a bar owner in the 80's and a bartender in the 90's I will be representing both decades. Invited by and moderated by Marie Cartier PhD, author of "Baby, You are My Religion; Women, Gay Bars, and Theology Before Stonewall" Location is The Gender & Women's Studies Dept, rm 340 http://babyyouaremyreligion.com/ Time is 7pm

"Baby You Are My Religion argues that American butch-femme bar culture of the mid-20th Century should be interpreted as a sacred space for its community. Before Stonewall - when homosexuals were still deemed mentally ill - these bars were the only place where many could have any community at all. "

The count is up to 14 now. Too close to home, and friends are on lock down at work. This is so devastating.

Have a good time! It's a beautiful city, request a drive over the Coronado Bridge and a visit to Hillcrest. Eat Rubio's fish tacos and video some waves
