Some friends and I ran into Adam Sandler yesterday in Santa Monica on Montana Avenue wearing a bright purple Laugh Factory comfy jacket. He was with his mom and nephew and was most gracious when we engaged in conversation. What I loved was that he was promoting his roots in comedy…certainly an abundant element of the Southern California Lifestyle. Great Community post, J.
I’ve been to The Laugh Factory also for a fundraiser for “Save the TaTas!” I have been meaning to check out some of the others you mentioned.
