Hi everyone -- here's a great plan for a Sunday night date: February 8th, starting at 6:30pm, Robbie will be give a little talk for a series entitled "In The Round", hosted by the great Ted Habte-Gabr at the best Ethiopian restaurant that we know of - Nyala, on Fairfax Ave. just south of Olympic. After the talk (or maybe even during) - we eat -- Off of large round plates with our fingers, no less! Hope to see you there! Peace, Boom Boom & Robbie
Here's all the info:
In the Round at Nyala* with Robbie Conal 1076 Fairfax Avenue Sunday, February 8, 2004 6:30 reception; 7:15 dinner $25 includes dinner and two drinks reservations: email HabteTed@aol.com or call 323-938-5325
(*Nyala is just south of Olympic and serves delicious cuisine common to Eritrea and Ethiopia. We share food off of large round plates--hence the name of the series, and we eat with our hands! In The Round is a periodic dinner series, held at Nyala, that features interesting artists, writers and thinkers.)
Please feel free to pass on and share with your friends.

Tuesday, December 02, 2003 Yo BUNS! I'm finally back in LA for a while--thanks for all the sweet visits around the country. I'll be at Vidiots in Santa Monica--the hippest video joint that I know of on the west coast--this Friday night, 9pm. Hope to see you in The Peoples' Republic then. Ahhhnold will be with me, of course. Also, I'll be at Self Help Graphics, 3802 Cesar Chavez, on the east coast of LA, this Sunday, noon to 2pm, signing books and posters. OLA! We've been forced by cruel circumstance (HE WON) to reprint ACHTUNG BABY!, which means more postering around Cali--soon! Stay tuned for a postering night near you (heads up Frisco and San Diego)... ok, fair warning will be given. Peace and angst, robbie
