The Los Angeles Breakfast Club, a 99-year-old nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, is announcing an engaging lineup of breakfast events, promising a September filled with nostalgia, history and a little something sweet. The month of programming kicks off with the honorary initiation of legendary co-creator of H.R. Pufnstuf Sid Krofft on Wednesday, Sept. 4.
The club will celebrate 55 Years of Weird with Krofft, recognizing the anniversary of H.R. Pufnstuf’s introduction to the world in 1969, and the innovation of Sid and his brother Marty Krofft in the following decades. Sid will join Vintage L.A.’s Alison Martino in a spirited conversation.
The programming continues with a series of breakfast events that are sure to have something for everyone: Explore iconic mid-century bowling alleys with Bowlarama! On Sept. 11, with architecture and culture writer/historian Chris Nichols and award-winning historian and advocate Adriene Biondo, authors of “Bowlarama: The Architecture of Mid-Century Bowling,” for the new book’s first major public event. Comedian, actor, and co-host of the hit podcast “How Did This Get Made?” Paul Scheer candidly and humorously shares insights of coming to terms with childhood trauma and finding joy from his book “Joyful Recollections of Trauma” on Sept. 18. On. Sept. 25, enjoy a delicious exploration of a modest California business See’s Candies, which became a global confectionery icon with See’s representative Andrea Blackman.
All programming will take place at Friendship Auditorium in Griffith Park, located at 3201 Riverside Drive., where the club has held weekly breakfast meetings since 1965. Friendship Auditorium, named as a nod to the club’s tagline “The Shrine of Friendship,” was dedicated in a ceremony on Nov. 3, 1965 after being built with club funds and donated to the city of Los Angeles. Breakfast meetings are open to the public and begin at 7 a.m. Tickets are $28, include breakfast and can be purchased at labreakfastclub. com/events.
