Here's a recap of the LA Parkerfest walking tour from member Gretchen Parker.
http://livefromlosangeles.typepad.com/li
We toured Sunset and Havenhurst, exploring remnants of Dorothy's times
at the Garden of Allah. I showed folks S.J. Perelman's old apartment
house... and John O'Hara's favorite restaurant.
Then we caravaned in our cars to Beverly Hills for a tour of all of
Dorothy and Alan's residences. We ended up on Norma Place and I showed
the group businesses on Santa Monica Blvd that Dorothy and Alan
patronized while living in the neighborhood in the early '60s.
You can use photos posted by Gretchen's boyfriend on her site.

Hi, I hope you guys are geared up for Dorothy's Birthday Event. We are going to be in the bar of the Culver City Hotel, a favorite haunt of MGM workers. I'm thinking we should play games from the 20s favored by the Algonquin Roundtablemates.
is that too pretentious?
Playing "Who Am I" or "Hunt for Not Hidden Object" or w...ordgames is heck of a lot more fun than playing "where do you live and what do you do for a living," no?Read More
