Pick of the Day: Richard Bain Sunset Farewell 5/31

May 29, 2020

At this point, you know or have heard about tragic passing of Richard Bain after he took his life earlier this week. Again, he was a beloved member of comedy no matter where he was.

This Sunday, there will be a farwell in Richard’s memory at Zuma Beach in Malibu (social distancing, face coverings, and other COVID-19 safety protocol will strictly be observed) organized by LA comedian Alyssa Rusak.

Rusak’s details for the memorial:
*Sunset is at 8pm PT so show up any time before. I’ll probably be there around 6pm.
*I’ll post about where exactly to meet once I get to the beach and scope out the scene.
*I’ll also post a zoom link and/or Instagram live link for anyone who wants to join online.
*Bring whatever physical memorial items you want. I won’t be bringing much besides myself and some witch shit.”

Charlie Hebdo Victims Being Honored as Gargoyles

This will be a pretty neat way to remember to honor freedom of expression.

The restoration of a tower that used to be execute rebels and martyrs during the rule of Louis XVIII in the French town of La Rochelle is going to have the added accoutrement of perching stone visages of those employed at satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo that were tragically murdered in an attack earlier this year.

As gargoyles, they’ll give the tower a new significance that will hopefully encourage to speak and express freely and honors those who died for it, especially when it comes making fun of those who so many others are afraid of.
