Philandria Brown of Two Dragons Martial Arts Studio in Altadena says they are offering free martial arts classes to the community this coming Saturday, Nov. 17, and Sat., Dec. 15, from 9 AM-1 PM both days.
Home refinancing and sales are being held up by low appraisals, says Michelle Hoffman in the LA Times (heck, WE found that out!). Hoffman talks to an Altadena couple about their tale of woe.
A couple of interesting things coming up at the Coffee Gallery Backstage this week: actress Julie Adams will be appearing in a look at her long career with author David Schecter on Sat., Nov. 17, at 3 PM, and following will autograph copies of her autobiography. Desipite a career that included leading men like John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Stewart, Rock Hudson and Tyrone Power, she may be best known to pop culture as the romantic lead with the Creature of the Black Lagoon (pictured).

And Alex Finazzo wants us to know that he's the opening act for the Salty Suites, appearing at the Backstage tomorrow. His website is www.sixstringpicker.com and Facebook at facebook.com/sixstringpicker .
