Let The Blogging Begin!

Spread the word!

You can play a significant part in growing Tongue & Groove. A couple of years ago, a not very good movie that had "fat" and "wedding" in the title was seen by a lot of people and became a big hit. Its run was aided largely by word of mouth. You, yes you can be very helpful and significant in stirring up a crowd and making T&G a big fat crowd-pleasing literary phenom. This unique event happens the last Sunday of every month. You can count on it to be word for word, note for note, and pound for pound a fine and cool experience.

Not so fast, where do I park?

It's Sunday so there is free street parking where available or use the secure lot for a few bucks just north and south of Hollywood Bl. on Cahuenga. The club is 1/3rd of a block just below Hollywood Blvd. across from The Beauty Bar. There is a back door entrance for the club that is down an alley. Don't be scared.

BUZZ!

I need you to help with the proverbial buzz and spread the word to others whenever you can. Treat this as good news that others are going to be grateful to hear. Print it and post it in your lunchroom, your local bookstore or hand it to a few people that could appreciate some LA culture.
