Bernie gets invited
City councilman and former police chief Bernard Parks is said to be close to announcing if he will be a candidate for mayor against Jim Hahn next year (officially, Parks is only mulling it so far).

The Richard Riordans also attended, incidentally, though conspicuously not the Michael Douglas-Catherine Zeta-Joneses.
