DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — There's a fun piece on Little Pedro's in the LA Times calendar section today.

Getting capricious clubgoers to frequent a place with a dubious past (and one off the beaten path, no less) without totally remodeling it or establishing a whole new identity is nearly impossible. But Little Pedro's is not only doing it, it's doing it with no money, no velvet ropes and no hype -- and it's kept both its unfettered ambience and its regulars in the process.

Mark and company do seem to always be having cool stuff going on these days. It's good to see them getting press.
