Recovery mode in LA

Late word has been received by wire from the exhausted host of Saturday's Palooza on Rowena. Readers may recall seeing the announcement inviting everyone in the LA neighborhood to celebrate Randy Anderson's front yard makeover.
Apparently LA still loves a good party, because from the sound of it, a large, eager segment popped over After Five, with food in hand and good times in mind.
The fun seekers enjoyed the music, a gorgeous buffet, copious libations and each other, we're told, though details from the host are sketchy. He reports that, two days later, he has now reassembled the site sufficiently to be able to turn final cleanup over to the professionals.
No photographs were taken during the event, owing to the excitement, distraction and intensity of it all. With the earnest host primarily attentive to the needs of his guests, the camera was set aside.
So the gonzo frolic is largely left to our imaginations, but as consolation we have received some post-party images of the new front patio barstools, custom-welded from scratch by Depot Dave, with cushions selected by the house coordinator. The handsome stools were completed in a nick of time for Saturday night and, happily, appear to have survived intact.
