Vax mandate at LA bars, KCRW’s newest DJ, satirical inventor Pippa Garner on display

Beginning October 7, everyone who enters a bar, wine bar, brewery, lounge, or nightclub in LA County will be required to show proof of at least one COVID-19 shot. Full vaccination will be required by November 4.

Augustine Wine Bar in Sherman Oaks has required proof since August. Despite some negative feedback, owner Gus Renaud says he made the right call. Camila Perry, owner of The North End Hollywood, is planning to comply with the new rule, and may have to fire unvaccinated employees. Meanwhile, other business owners say they don’t plan to enforce any vaccine mandate on employees or customers.

Also, KCRW’s new DJ Tyler Boudreaux shares her music influences, and Pippa Garner’s solo exhibition at JOAN dives into the idiosyncratic inventor.
