l.a. works has started a blog they’re calling l.a. works hotline, where you can find announcements of various upcoming volunteering opportunities and other news about the organization.

there really wasn’t a whole lot going on in the olvera street area during lunchtime, but there were a bunch of memorials set up in the square there, so here’s a photoset of most of them.

i also stumbled upon another fountain in the los angeles city mall that i had missed before, and another nearby that appears to be under repair.

also, two fountains that were turned off when i last grabbed pictures of them.

the los angeles conservancy is having a benefit at the former cathedral of st. vibiana on november 12. tickets start at $350 ($275 is tax-deductible).

when i was walking by the building yesterday, i was able to peek in and see how things were progressing. i took a picture (through the fence), but it didn’t turn out.

the same night, lauren bacall and larry gelbart will be doing readings at the central library as part of the gregory peck reading series. that’s free, if you’re a library associates member at the right level.
