LAVA, the Los Angeles Visionaries Association, will hold an homage to Gore Vidal on August 9 at Musso & Frank in Hollywood. Here is the event description from the LAVA website:

On July 31st, Gore Vidal passed away in his sleep at his home in the Hollywood Hills. Gore Vidal was a giant in American letters, and his passing demands a moment of reverence. We invite you to join us at one of his more beloved haunts, the bar in the new room of The Musso & Frank Grill, for an informal gathering to celebrate the life and work of this exemplary author.
