Altadena Revealed Lecture Series: Outlaws of Altadena - The Criminal Prosecutions of Our Colorful Contrarians

This lecture will explore an essential layer of Altadena's rich and historic human diversity: its troublemakers. What can they teach us about the meaning of this place, and to what degree are they worth remembering? Subjects include Zeke the Compost Sheik, Paul Little AKA Max Hardcore, and the proprietor of a local steakhouse known for having Richard Feynman as a regular. Gather round! We'll think, laugh, and maybe even squirm.
