Hello Cinka - over here! Antiquity has been open 9 months - every Thursday save one during our summer vacation. We attract a great crowd of people - sincere and warm individuals - in an intimate setting on the west side of L.A. Not the usual packed to the walls, sweaty, impersonal dirge. It's not easy - it takes one hell of a lot of work - but it can be done. We applaude Davee and company for their tenacity and dedication - a touch of insanity doesn't hurt either!!
