How L.A. Nightlife Shaped the World | California News

Imogen Willetts’ new book “Up All Night” takes you on a wild ride through global nightlife history—from 17th-century Tokyo’s pleasure districts to L.A.’s paparazzi-fueled 2000s club scene. As a self-proclaimed “party historian,” she treats every era with equal reverence, showing how L.A.’s celebrity-driven after-dark culture shaped the world’s partying habits. From Parisian jazz clubs to 90s raves, Willetts reveals how nightlife isn’t just about drinks—it’s an experience, a vibe, a movement. Even as classic spots fade, she’s convinced the party’s not over—just evolving, maybe even inspired by the past. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
