Mayor Eric Garcetti and City Council President Herb Wesson have invited the media to gather after the City Council votes today on the city's bid for the 2024 Olympics. Will the media op be in one of the usual places: Garcetti's third-floor conference room, the press conference room behind the council chambers or outside on the City Hall steps? Nope. How about 15 miles away at the Annenberg Beach House in Santa Monica? Yes. On Pacific Coast Highway in summer.
It's called for 12:30 p.m., but you better get that early. Some background on the vote.
