charity, may 2005

i’ve gone local again, with inner-city arts, an arts center for kids in downtown los angeles.

one thing that focusing on local charities gets me is various invitations to events by these charities, sometimes for events that require buying tickets (at steep prices, usually) and sometimes for free. maybe some day i’ll start taking advantage of this.

for example, through the library foundation of los angeles i got an invite for a reception, “author program,” book signing, and dinner with michael eisner in the middle of june. it’s for his book, camp. the dinner is at the california club, jacket and tie required.

i don’t even own a jacket. at least not the kind they’re talking about. i don’t think they’d count my ffem windbreaker.
