Attending Live Talks Los Angeles

A couple of years ago I attended an awesome event at the Nokia Theater – Tina Fey in conversation with Steve Martin. Two of my favorite comedians together on stage to discuss Ms. Fey’s book – Bossypants.

The evening was wonderful – both parties were a delight and I even got to meet Tina Fey when she signed my copy. Luckily, the awesomeness was videotaped for posterity and you can view the entire conversation any time you wish.

So who brought these two together for this special night? Live Talks Los Angeles an organization whose goal is simply to bring great speakers to various Los Angeles locations for an evening of discussion. How great is that?

I regularly get the Live Talks email list and the lineup is always impressive – authors, athletes, directors, comedians…scores and scores of great personalities. Last week I was able to attend another discussion at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale.

This time it was the author Mitch Albom interviewing the living legend Burt Bacharach. In person I was able to listen to Mr. Bacharach provide insight into his long storied years as a songwriter. I even heard a great Sinatra story!

Live Talks Los Angeles is now wrapping up it’s third season with upcoming talks with Deepak Chopra, Phil Jackson, and Neil Gaiman. Then it will be back in the fall with a whole new slate of personalities. I can’t wait to find out who they are!
