Jeffry Ellis was a bartender at the Burgundy Room until earlier this year when he got very sick very fast; he died two weeks ago. And apparently the Burgundy Room doesn't give its employees a fat health insurance package, because Jeffry's illness left his family with a pile of hospital bills. Tonight, to raise funds and celebrate what would have been his 31st birthday, friends are going to be donating $10 or more to get in to the Dragonfly for performances by Josie Cotton and Faster Pussycat and more. The bar will even be throwing in part of the night's take, so if you go, be sure to raise a glass to Jeffry Ellis.

We’re animal lovers here at LAist. Dogs always come first, but over the years we’ve shacked up with a motley assortment of cats, birds, fish, and even some reptiles. Still, we’ve always been sensitive to those who have suffered from allergies to our dear four, six and eight legged friends. Too bad, we always thought to ourselves, that they had to miss out on the joys of pet ownership because of an unfortunate genetic twist. Until today, we always thought those folks were doomed to face life without a loyal furry, feathery or scaly friend by their side. But then we opened up our copy of the Daily News and we realized how much the world has changed.

Today's Los Angeles Times obit notes that Meyer was "something of a one-man studio, Meyer produced, directed, financed, wrote, edited and shot 23 tantalizing but teasing films that pioneered a genre of skinflicks with much violence and large-busted women but little sex. The titles of the X-rated fare that made him millions are descriptive — 'The Immoral Mr. Teas,' 'Erotica,' 'Wild Gals of the Naked West,' 'Heavenly Bodies,' 'Mudhoney,' 'Mondo Topless,' 'Common Law Cabin,' 'Supervixens' and 'Europe in the Raw.'
