Wine and Jazz Nights in Hollywood and Glendale and Paul McCarthy Talks Paul Thek at the Hammer


What a better way to cool off tonight than with a little wine and jazz? Pancho Sanchez plays at Hollywood and Highland while Palate in Glendale showcases a few Riesling selections. If you’re looking for more artsy stuff: LA artist Paul McCarthy lectures at the Hammer on Paul Thek’s work and then there’s always Iris at the Kodak.
