SALON INFO: http://lavatransforms.org/salon1210
Launched in February by Richard Schave and Kim Cooper--the proprietors of Esotouric bus adventures and founding Director and Curator of the Downtown Art Walk non-profit--the creative consortium LAVA (The Los Angeles Visionaries Association) is fast establishing itself as one of the city's most intriguing arts collectives, with a calendar packed with compelling, offbeat urban events and a growing list of notable Visionary contributors. LAVA's Sunday Salon has become one of the hottest (free) tickets for urban explorers seeking intelligent conversation, connection and inspiration‹not to mention Clifton's famous home cooking.
The Sunday Salon returns to Clifton's Cafeteria on Sunday, December 26 from noon-2pm, and all are welcome to dine together and socialize, or attend several different presentations by LAVA Visionaries.

More about The Ukulady is at http://www.theukulady.com/ and her original OGs blog theme and"Cutie's Theme" can both be heard at http://www.the-ogs.com
2) Cult singer-songwriter HARVEY SID FISHER, famous for his "Astrology Songs" and duets of couples fighting, will bring his body, his voice, his songs, his mind, his humor, and his guitar and expects some parts to be ruthlessly entertaining.
3) LAVA co-founder KIM COOPER will be show and share offbeat board games from her collection (and encourages others to bring in their favorite obscure games) for a casual post-lunch play-a-thon. Come try your luck at Chutzpah (aka "Jewish Monopoly"), Manhunt, Art Linkletter's House Party andother oddities.
