Yes! And I'm really getting worried 'bout Julius, too! I was too comatose to follow you all to Malibu Sunday but it sounded wonderful with the dolphins and the beach birthday shots. I took Julius and Alison to a little dive bar nearby last Thursday that's been written up locally and also in Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone as THE place. We showed up at 1:30 am and it looked abandoned but I sent Julius to check the door and the place was in full hop. It's a total dive on the surface but there are subtle, wonderful touches such as a jukebox with whole CDs of the best of Hendrix, Prince and Mingus (voted best in LA Weekly), all the best choice of liquor (three selections of Patron and Hendricks Gin which I've only found one other place here) and separate rooms for pool and dancing. Arty but friendly and not poseur crowd. Took a downtown friend over to check it out and guess what - they let everyone SMOKE in the bar, too!! It used to be a kind of handout for the LAPD and Dodgers and we figured it's still under police protection or something. Anyway, I thought with the pool table and the free smoking zone, it would be an attractive new place for Joni to stop by ;-) Kakki
