A Celebration of Carl Ferraro, Dresden Owner

Come celebrate the birth date of the man who founded one of Hollywood most enduring legends - The Dresden!  This Friday, October 18th, marks the passage of what would have been Carl Ferraro's 100th birthday.  Carl's son Jim has indicated that there is to be a celebration honoring the memory of his father, and, acknowledging what an amazing establishment his father created all those years ago. For those who don't know, Mr. Ferraro senior passed away at the age of ninety-one, early in two-thousand and five, he spent a great many years making sure a good time was had by all @ the Dresden.  Pre-2005 patrons remember this wonderful man, and they will, I am certain, be delighted to attend the evening and raise a glass in his name.

I will update you with any additional information regarding this special night, once it is made available to me.  And - yes, Marty and Elayne are scheduled to appear.  They go up at 9pm in the lounge.  I will be hosting your evening.
