World Famous is the restaurant where Dat Phan chose to host his birthday party this year. One degree of separation from this celebrity: Larry is his web programmer (along with Carolyn, a graphic designer on the far left.) Dat won "Last Comic Standing" in 2003.
As you might imagine, many of his friends are associated with his line of work. So half the room was filled comedians, writers, and significant others. Many social gatherings have witty banter, but it was taken up a notch today. Maybe they can't help but try out new material. The funniest comments were directed at the police officers patrolling the beach, presumably for open bottles. In our space, they were hitting on young girls. Hard to replicate the exchange here. Go see some of the comedians at the Comedy Store in La Jolla.
