Hi! I don't live in LA, but I held them for awhile in Austin, Tx. I started a Yahoo group, posted on Freecycle and a local craft group to get members. We held them at a coffee house, but something with wine and cheese sounds nice - you should organize it to get the ball rolling! It is a good idea and a great way to shop for free!
good luck

I went downtown and tried to party crash. The Ritz was full of rednecks in sequins and the other schmaltzy hotel was full of geriatric rednecks in sequins.
I went home and drank champagne out of a plastic margarita glass.
Maybe nice wine and cheese and grapes at home? Or going to a local park or something? I know some cities do fireworks, you could find a quiet place to sit and watch them?
I'm lousy at this. I think I'm working until 7 and then getting ripped at the boy's house.

could you put together wine and cheese basket kits? You could make the wine glass charms and put in a nice fabric square to line the basket, and get some little cheese knives and make some cheese name labels. You could make the labels with some non-reactive/food safe wire that is looped to hold a piece of paper. You could also make some copper tags with the cheese name pressed in.

I read the book "French Women Don't Get Fat". It emphasizes lifestyle change over dieting. That just seems smarter to me - and you don't have to stop eating foods you like. I think the ideas might also be known as the "chocolate, wine and cheese" diet which you can look up online if you don't want to get the book.
