When asked during her Monday news conference if she had heard of the “disaster” at Malibu beaches over the weekend, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer confirmed that, “We got reports.”
Local Malibu journalist and Kbuu radio station manager Hans Laetz, who had asked the question, provided more color.
“Seventy to ninety percent” of those on Zuma Beach did not have masks, Laetz reported. Local beach gates were “pried open,” parking nightmares abounded and people threw loud parties at night to watch biolumimescene in the waves.
The “common courtesy” of wearing masks on the sand “was widely ignored at Zuma Beach,” said Laetz in a Facebook post.
Some residents said Broad Beach was “more crowded than 4th of Julys in recent years,” according to Laetz.
The photo below seems to substantiate that appraisal.

Welcome to The Television Balcony, where I'll be bringing you the obscure or overlooked big-screen exploits of small-screen stars. We're opening the Balcony with a screening of What We Do Is Secret, an independent film starring Shane West (currently featured on The CW's Nikita) as the charismatic lead in the real-life story of a legendary punk rock band.
On paper, What We Do Is Secret (2007) is like my own special version of hell: a biopic about a genre of music I can't stand fronted by an actor whose work I hardly know. In reality, however, it's one of the best obscure films I've seen in a long while, centered around one of the best individual performances I've ever seen.
Given anyone that I've taken an interest in on the small screen, I'm more interested in the small movie they did years ago than the big blockbuster. This time, it's Shane West's fault.

The "fake documentary" technique can be a useful way for a biopic to cut to the chase, or it can be a cheat. In What We Do Is Secret—Rodger Grossman's dramatization of the life and death of The Germs frontman Darby Crash—it's a little of both. Grossman tells the full Germs story, from Crash persuading his friend Pat Smear that he had a "five-year plan" for world domination to Crash overdosing on heroin the night before John Lennon was murdered. In case anyone misses the point, Grossman inserts scripted first-person interviews in which his characters tell the audience what The Germs were about. And in case we miss that, Grossman has the characters converse in the most pointed way possible, asking each other questions like "Is this what we wanted?" and making pronouncements like "The Germs are the most unpredictable, the most chaotic, the least-understood band in L.

This week's delectable delights include, amongst other things, such highbrow morsels as a gallery retrospective on D.I.Y. art and a crash course in the history of the California vineyards. If that's not your cup of proverbial tea, there's always psychotic bikers and the ballad of two stoned losers on the run from gangsters and the police.
"Beautiful Losers"
More than 15 years after founding the hugely influential Alleged Gallery in New York, the freelance curator Aaron Rose continues to serve as a cornerstone of the now-global D.I.Y. art scene. Here he teams with "Blair Witch" actor-turned-director Joshua Leonard to chart the evolution and subsequent commercialization of a movement whose genesis was found in a group of outcasts, slackers and misfits from the fringes of subculture. Emerging from the dirty little worlds of surfing, skateboarding and street graffiti, a group of artists including the likes of Harmony Korine,...
