The Dorothy Parker Society LA ended the year on a high note the night of December 17th with a round of drinking at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, site of a weekly gathering of Dorothy's friends and associates in the '30s. See previous post for the details on that.

This week, core members showed up for a quick drink before heading outside to tour the swanky store window displays. Somehow the gang never made it outside into the chilly air, choosing to warm up with several rounds of martinis. New member Dan Cox posted his impressions on Mediabistro's Fishbowl LA .

Participants, email me your own recollections and I'll post them.
