A Drink?
A certain individual who can't be credited with the story has tipped the Sister City Team to a Happy Hour occurring tonight.
After my short but fruitful vacation getting a tall stiff drink is exactly what this old cop needs. So tonight after telling the old deadbeats at Parker Center whats wrong with them, i am going to walk right down the street to Weilands. (free drink for the plug dammit)
The odds of me attending are about 50-50 -- but for you City Hall tinheads the fact that i may attend should be enough to get the gossip juices flowing through your blood. Don't worry i don't plan on mingling with you types, I am going to bring a friend sit right down in a booth and laugh at the fact that you wouldn't even recognize me even if i served your drink.
Gossip Away!
***Update***
I've received several e-mails today -- City hall staffers that weren't invited to the event -- but had plans to be at Weilands with others have cancelled those plans. Due to the possibility that they may be innocently identified as the Chief.
At the same time, i've received several city hall, federal and state staffers wanting to be included on the next happy hour so they can plan ahead. Do I smell a Sister City Fan Club brewing?

i received the evite -- it's CD 3 and 9 inviting everyone. I wasn't going to go -- but with the possibility of finding out who Chief Parker is -- i am clicking Yes now.
Chief -- you are a legend in these halls -- people worship you and despise you -- many of those feelings come from the same offices.
Ha!
Mayor Sam received the same Evite and IF my dinner meeting at The Original Pantry ends early enough, I may just saunter over and join the Chief for a drink.
If an attractive, older gentleman asks you to pull his finger, that may be me. I may also wear my 1984 USC Rose Bowl cap.
The missus will not be in attendance. She is going to a Tupperware party in San Pedro.
Actually Betts Yorty did not divorce Sam, she died before him.
One of my favorite incidents in a lifetime of election-watching occurred during that election. Yorty, in a rare instance of doing something besides travelling and campaigning, had rammed through the City Council a number of proposals that enriched Occidental Petroleum. One was a controversial land swap deal where the city got some worthless acres and Occidental got some land which turned out to be quite rich in oil. During the campaign, Bradley charged that Yorty had a personal financial interest in Occidental and Yorty responded that Bradley was a lying fool and categorically denied any such interest. As it does more and more these days, the press stayed out of an election issue and didn't start looking into Bradley's charge until after Election Day when, of course, it meant so much less. Turned out, Yorty himself might not have had a financial interest in Occidental but his wife did. The moment I loved came in one of Yorty's last press conferences when he was asked about this. He said something like, "I never denied that I had any financial interest in Occidental and anyone who says I did is a damn liar." One of the local news channels ran that footage, then ran a clip of Yorty saying, "Neither I nor anyone in my family has ever owned one share of Occidental Petroleum and anyone who says I have is a damn liar." I wish the media would do more of that kind of thing, and do it when it matters. (Later, I believe Yorty actually tried claiming that his wife had purchased more than a million dollars worth of petroleum stock without telling him...)
Jim Hahn is hosting a Tupperware party???
what time is this gig?
5:30 Weiland Brewery Restaurant
400 E 1st Street,Los Angeles
I'll be next door at Cuba Central. They make some good mojitos!
Man this is boring, Mayor Sam don't you have any good Antonio news or have you not been to your local King Taco lately?
Are Sergio & Emma coming?
How about some political updates.
OK, I'll bite.
Who are the hot staffers on the 3rd and 4th floors?
Throw in the 17th on Wilshire, the Reagan, and the Allard for the hell of it too.
Emma for sure.
We are all waiting for Jimmy Blackman. Handsome and divorced.
I'm on my way to the Pantry. I'm getting hungry thinking about the cole slaw! Yum Yum.
If my meeting doesn't run late, I'll stop at Weiland's.
I forgot my Rose Bowl cap, so I'll be wearing a 50 Cent concernt shirt instead. I may also ask you to pull my finger.
All you guys are so full of shit. Don't you have any thing better to do but talk about other people or yourselves.
If only you knew what outsiders call "The Hall." Ready? Alright... The Whore House.
Here is looking at you...
You will not show up.
No Parker Center
No Weilands.
Let the Fed staff updated on the next gathering.
Emma
Ok Riordan, cut the B.S.
It is not Riordan.
E & Staff
Emma is hot, you will not know the difference if your target of a job or social situation.
Yours Truly,
MI5-Los Angeles
Sergio,
(T) the post immediatly. (CM)
Emma
Emma - did sergio go to the bathroom again?
Emma why don't you guys plan something?
Why?
Do you want to meet my staff?
Male and Female.
Can any of you republican bloggers run for city council for the 14th district?
Enough of democrats ruining our inner city neighborhoods.
Boyle Heights, Highland Park, El Sereno look more like TIJUANA since Antonio took office and ran like a chicken out of this area.
Who is this Alvin Parra people mention might run for CD14? Is he reliable, effective, productive, HONEST, ETHICAL, and fair?
Is he another money hungry husband of a wife who ran for office and tried to make a bribe that backfired?
Has he embezzeled funds through Gloria Molina accounts and Southwest Voter?
QUE PASA ALVIN, COMO ESTAS?
Alvin Parra: "The Homer Simpson of Politics"
I didn't get an evite?
