LA Observed helps to sponsor the Live Talks Los Angeles series of conversations around town, and producer Ted Habte-Gabr is offering tickets to LAO readers who want to take in Thursday night's session between actor Michael Caine and Sharon Waxman of The Wrap. Caine has a new autobiography out, "The Elephant to Hollywood," about his path from a poor neighborhood in London to an Oscar and a knighthood. The event is in Downtown at the Colburn School, at 8 p.m. in Zipper Hall. Tickets for everyone else are $25 for admission, $40 including the book, or $95 for reserved seating, the book and a pre-conversation reception. Drop me a line if you'd like a pair of tickets.
* Caine tickets are gone, sorry. But they are also offering a couple of pairs to the conversation between Lewis Black and Craig Ferguson on Election Night at the El Rey Theater. Update: Black tix are gone too.
