A Bird
ROCKIN’ July 4
Celebration Bird Rock residents came out in droves for the 32nd annual Beaumont Avenue Fourth of July Celebration and Parade. Winding its way along Beaumont Avenue up to Mira Monte, the event brought neighbors out of their houses and into the streets to watch the cavalcade of red-white-and-blue floats as they made their way through the neighborhood. This year, the theme was “Happy Days on Beaumont Avenue,” and residents came decked out in their finest 1950s attire to celebrate America’s birthday. Even the canine element didn’t miss a chance to dress up for the occasion, Bird Rock residents and parade spectators gather after the event in the intersection and plenty of patriotic dogs behind the La Jolla United Methodist Church.

Rare Warhol photos to be unveiled in La Jolla BY CLAIRE HARLIN | VILLAGE NEWS La Jolla is home to a number of exclusive fine art galleries and a well-known art museum. But on July 29, Barfly, a restaurant and nightclub, will set the scene for a unique occasion that is of cultural prominence and artistic allure. As part of the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival, celebrity photographer Karen Bystedt will be unveiling four 40-by-40-inch neverbefore-seen portraits of Andy Warhol — one of the art world’s most coveted icons. The photographs, which have been stored away in Bystedt’s garage since 1982, will have their world debut at the festival’s opening night directors’ reception. They will go on view downstairs the next day, July 30, on Barfly’s outside patio. The pieces will be open to the public at the venue, located at 909 Prospect St. Exact viewing times are to be determined. Bystedt, then an ambitious film student at New York University, said the photographs were taken as part of a student project capturing the images of male models. “There were so many female models, but nobody did anything on male models,” said the photographer in a phone interview from her Los Angeles studio. “I
