Peykan party
Nostalgic party posters in Los Angeles
By Amirali Parstabar
August 14, 2003
The Iranian
Most Persian events and clubs in the Los Angeles
area in the past seemed a bit pretentious. They have almost always
tried to pass as Euro or -- to be hip, unsuccessfully.
Peykan (or Paykan) events are totally based on the
premise of Persian identity, nostalgia, and it even celebrates
our flaws. I think this combination is a good recipe for some fun
events with a streak of goofiness.
Peykan events are far apart so that they each become
a production unique and hopefully different than the previous one.
Currently the parties are held at the landmark Hollywood Athletic
Club and 650 people attended the May 3rd party. The next one is
this Saturday, August 16th.
Hopefully Peykan will become more elaborate and entertaining
as it grows.
