Happy Hour
August 9 - September 29, 2013
The UCLA Film & Television Archive will
screen a series of films from producer-
director Stanley Kramer. Kramer’s films
have been awarded 16 Academy Awards
out of 85 nominations.
Selected screenings will feature guest
appearances by Larry King, Louis
Gosset Jr., Fred Willard, Sally Kellerman
and many others who have collaborated
with Kramer.
For more information log onto
www.cinema.ucla.edu for schedules,
screening times and updates.
Thursday, August 15 | 6:00 PM
We are back in Westwood for a happy
hour at the W! The UCLA Black Alumni
Association will be there too! Mix and
mingle with your Bruin friends - make new
ones and hang with the ones you already
know! The W’s “Bourbon & Bites” happy
hour will be extended until 9 p.m. for us.
A guest DJ / UCLA PhD student, Kaz, will
be spinning so be sure to say hello.
Street parking is a bit of a challenge. So
if you try that, be sure to read (all of) the
signs. Park at the W Hotel and the
Whiskey Blue will validate for 4 hours at
$10-$14. A parking lot is located on
Weyburn which is less expensive, $6-$10
depending on which time you enter.
