Sunday August
31, 2003
Sunday, August 31st,
Smart Gals monthly “semi-literary”
salon, the SPEAKEASY welcomes cultural icon and
award winning journalist Patt Morrison,
author of Rio L.A., founding host of
Life and Times on L.A.’s PBS affiliate
KCET, simply known to some as “Ms. L.A.”.
You cannot
consider yourself a true denizen of Los Angeles
until you’ve heard Patt Morrison speak about
our mysterious river.
Copies of Rio L.A. will be available
for purchase. Friends
of the Los Angeles River www.folar.org
will also be on hand to announce upcoming events
and to talk about ways we can get involved in
preservation of the river.
Visual artist David Trulli
has created the night’s bookmark, starring
the bike path as it crosses this same river.
Did I mention that we
have a river in Los Angeles?
For those not yet in the know, the SPEAKEASY is
a monthly mixer with guest hosts, local artists,
parlor games, conversation and moonshine. Come
see for yourself.

| In
1964 David Trulli attended the New
York World's Fair, where he was shown the future.
Since then, high and low technology has always fascinated
him.Our expectation of technology and its real impact
is a theme that runs through all of his work. For
the past twenty years David has worked as a cinematographer
in Los Angeles. He is self-taught, and his interest
in scratchboard art started in his teens. A solo exhibit
of his work, called "Slow Pictures...Fast World,"
took place recently at Gallery Figueroa, Los Angeles.
David Trulli was born in 1960 in Ossining, New York
(a town whose only claim to fame is as the home of
Sing Sing prison). He came to Los Angeles in 1979,
and currently resides in Los Feliz.
