Dominator<\/a> off Palos Verdes. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UszxSHVwjNQ&amp;feature=youtube_gdata_player\" target=\"_blank\">wreck<\/a> served as his tree fort and nautical womb. He would hallucinate and dream about fusing as one with it. The Dominator would feed him memories and stories related to those who died on it after it split in half and was scattered among the rocks. Rich will be on hand today to share mementos and clues in the way of a film\/poetry presentation with live theremin accompaniment from Paul Wilkins (PWE\/Clowns and Fetuses). &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\">\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 LAVA co-founder Richard Schave hosts a discussion on the history of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ult-la.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">The United Lodge of Theosophy<\/a>, a unique Los Angeles institution. The forces that impacted founder Robert Crosbie from his arrival in 1911, and how he and his brethren shaped their spiritual and educational environment over the decades, are a fundamental narrative of the city. Theosophy, like Los Angeles, straddles two kingdoms, the finite and the infinite, imbued with fascinating contradictions: love, wealth, greed, power and release. Victoria Prinz is a member of the ULT, and she&#8217;ll take some of these themes as a starting point for this discussion on the extraordinary legacy of the ULT in Los Angeles. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Post-Salon happenings: <\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\">\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Following the Salon, a limited number of people will join LAVA co-founder Richard Schave and architectural historian Nathan Marsak for a free <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B002I0J5UQ?tag=bubblegumbook&amp;camp=14573&amp;creative=327641&amp;linkCode=as1&amp;creativeASIN=B002I0J5UQ&amp;adid=1DQ98RF6JEBHXM8F31XZ&amp;\" target=\"_blank\">L.A.
