DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, CA – Following up on “Cocktails & Art Party #1: Ode to the Rat Pack,” Jerico Woggon presents his second monthly art event of the year “Ode to the Lounge Lizard – A Cocktail Napkin Art Invitational.” Guests are invited to create a work of art on a cocktail napkin using art materials provided by the house. Each napkin will be exhibited on the lounge wall, and each guest can trade, sell or take the art home. The mixer is designed to get artists out of their studios and into the cocktail lounge atmosphere. Instead of bringing the art, show up and make art!

Emmeric Konrad, e3rd resident artist, will be live painting to music by DJ Dan Moses and DJ Lee Joseph (former resident DJ at Bigfoot Lodge) – masters in their craft of 50’s and 60’s lounge-genre – while VJ Terry Ellsworth presents visuals inspired by the swinging 60’s burlesque. In the patio, Blacklight Artist Jerico Woggon illuminates the scene with his Minimalist modern installation.

Lounge Lizard – A person who frequents relaxing retreats that provide necessary libations and entertainment. Just as lizards lay on a rock to bask in the rays, you will be musically transported to your place in the sun while soaking up the Tequila Sunrise. Put on your cocktail-night-on-the-town-best and join us in the FUN!!!

Cocktail Attire Encouraged – Lounge Lizards and Lizardettes are encouraged to dress up! "Men put on a Tie, Ladies a Cocktail Dress" for this Art-Cocktail-Lounge-Social Event.

Admission – $10 donation. $5 with a recession story of 75-100 words, written prior or at the door. Stories will be read by the patio host throughout the course of the evening. Guests are welcome to dress up as a lizard, complete with tail and face make-up to get in for "Free."

Jerico’s Cocktail-and-Art Parties – Jerico’s vision is to create an atmosphere where the past meets the present, future meets the past and old meets the new. This is the second in a series of monthly art concept cocktail parties in Downtown Los Angeles for 2010. Come on down and meet the fun spirits of the New Downtown Los Angeles Renaissance Cocktail Nightlife for a Swinging Shindig full of special surprises and good times.

"Being inside creation, that is the driving force. I create art installations that infuse the environment with vibrant colors, fashion and dance. The work seeks to bring you an energy that is created by the moment and for the moment. I want to create a space where you can have it all: good friends and beauty all around."

– Jerico Woggon
