WHEN: Saturday December 22, 1pm-5pm
COST: $60
WHERE: departing from Arnie Morton's Steakhouse, 735 S Figueroa St., LA 90017
LOS ANGELES- Best-selling crime novelist James Ellroy has built his career digging deep into the underworld lore of L.A., drawing connections between his personal experience and the complex real world histories of cops, killers, victims and journalists.
Now James Ellroy teams up with Esotouric, the eclectic bus adventure company whose tours reveal L.A.'s secret history, to debut his personal guided tour through the city that haunts his dreams and inspires his art. Riding shotgun and curating the experience is Kim Cooper, creator of the 1947project time travel blog and host of Esotouric's true crime tours, including The Real Black Dahlia.
Passengers on "James Ellroy Digs L.A." will gather at Arnie Morton's downtown bar (opened specially for our party), then accompany the author in a luxurious coach class bus on an uncensored time travel journey to tony Hancock Park, where he stalked his teenage classmates and later broke into houses. . . to the Hollywood flats to explore some of the heinous 1950s murder cases that fascinated him as a youth and continue to feed his obsessions. . . and out to El Monte, where his mother Geneva was murdered, the unsolved crime that runs through all his work, from "The Black Dahlia" to "My Dark Places."
James Ellroy says, "I dig L.A. because I'm from here. My parents hatched me in a cool locale. I'm desperate to impress people, I'm a good talker, I know a shitload about L.A. and I want to share it. On this tour, you'll get L.A. crime and social history on an unparalleled AND intimate scale."
So get on the bus at Arnie Morton's in downtown LA on December 22 and spend your holidays with the demon dog of American literature, on what's sure to be the coolest ticket in town.
