4 Photos and text by Vincent Andrunas It’s been a busy week in La Jolla! Fans of the good work being done at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research gathered there last Thursday to present the Fishman Fund Awards (named in honor of Dr. William and Lillian Fishman, longtime Burnham supporters). The prizes went to five brilliant young Ph.D.s whose research will help people lead better and longer lives. Pilar CejudoMartin, Martin Denzel, Fabian Filipp, Lars Pache and Nai-Ying Michelle Yang each received $5,000. Each spoke articulately (and with enthusiasm and humor) about their individual projects, and conversations at a later reception revealed them to be interesting, congenial people with interests and expertise outside of science. The Haudenschild Garage is a garage in a sense — it has three motorized roll-up doors, and daily houses six cars (all silver) — but it’s also a space for art, with tall ceilings, walls lined with video screens and artistic photographs, and a floor as clean as a fresh dinner plate. Adjacent on the beautifully landscaped grounds is an architecturally significant home, filled with a very eclectic art collection. Just past the pool is the biggest private disco in La Jolla — a testament to Chris and Eloisa Haudenschild’s
love for entertainment, parties and dancing. Last week the cars were rolled out and the Garage became the scene for a modern-day salon centered on one of Eloisa’s many art projects: “A Crime Has Many Stories,” based on a short story set in Buenos Aires. Talk and readings eventually gave way to “Cumbia and Choripanes,” dances indigenous to South America, and savory sandwiches made with crusty bread and sausage brought all the way from Argentina, where the very best of its genre originates. An exceptionally colorful party transformed the Scripps Seaside Forum into California's most primal nightclub on Friday night for Jungle Masquerade, a benefit for the Rainforest Alliance, an international conservation group based in New York City. They work in 77 countries to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming business and land-use practices, as well as consumer behavior. Beautifully costumed guests enjoyed a locally grown dinner by the bite, special drinks and varied entertainment. Some costumes incorporated realistic rubber snakes — but it soon became apparent that not all the serpents were artificial… The restless natives beat their drums throughout the night, and the dancers didn’t stop till the early morning hours.
