Traffic heading towards WeHo was totally backed up on Sunset/Laurel Canyon/LaCienega this morning.

Thanks for the lowdown on traffic. Insurance fire? Foreclosure?

Andy, not sure if it's insurance or foreclosure-related. I do know, however, that it will be tough to say goodbye to the place where I said "hello" to my first lapdance.

for those in need of a new home, i highly recommend club 4play on cotner in the westside.

18 years OK lets burn this down

As my friend Michael put it, don't get lapdances with strike-anywhere matches in your pocket

Pity I never visited while it was open. And what of the displaced dancers? Can we get them employment somewhere else? I think I might be having a party soon.....
