Ron Kaye in L.A.

Ron Kaye, former editor of the Daily News of Los Angeles and simian aficionado, will be the guest speaker at a SPJ/CCNMA mixer on Tuesday, May 6 (also election day in Indiana and North Carolina):

Our guest will be former Los Angeles Daily News Editor Ron Kaye. He's been described as an "accidental anarchist," "passionate populist" and "the Patrick Henry of the San Fernando Valley." Kaye recently launched a blog, RonKayeLA.com, and says he's "committed to carrying on his crusade for a greater Los Angeles as an ordinary citizen."

Events get underway at 6:30 p.m. The place is Casey's Bar & Grill at 613 S. Grand Ave. in Los Angeles. RSVP to spj_la@hotmail.com.
