East or West, It's Time to Celebrate

Los Angeles, my beloved city, has all the qualities of a densely packed metropolis only smoothed out over a vast urban landscape.

Last night was special for two reasons. First, we celebrated the opening of Nourmand & Associates newest office, located in the historic Hollywood Athletic Club.

Sunset Boulevard is a busy place on Thursday night, and the valet service provided a quick way for guests to make their way off the busy boulevard and into the building. The turn out couldn’t have been better, and the event was a complete success. When they arrived, our friends were treated to a delight of the senses. Guests were surrounded by views from the 8th floor office space, mouthwatering hors d'oeuvres such as chocolate covered strawberries and mini-tarts, and soothing chardonnay.

On the west side of town there was an equally memorable display--albeit in a more bookish setting. Drive a few miles toward the ocean from the Hollywood Athletic Club, and you’ll find the Century City Shopping Mall. On the second floor, across from Bloomingdales, you’ll see Borders.

Inside, the amazing staff set up several displays of my book, which promotes my Q&A that will take place on Wednesday, 22 October at 7:00 p.m. Howard, my son, not only designed the cover but is the creative mind behind the attractive visuals of the book and event.

Thanks to So Young and Yosi at Borders Century City. I am grateful for their professionalism and support of the local community.

I’ll provide more details of the event later. For now, please enjoy the photos.
