When was the last time you got a letter from someone you know?  Dust off your Montblanc, rub that callous on your writing finger and polish up your poetry at A Nourished Spirit. An initiative of The Pen2Paper Project, it harks back to those days in which relationships were forged from the simple act of writing a letter. Blending cocktails and food with pen and paper, you’ll take part in today’s “Love Letters” happening — and, admittedly, getting good and loaded while you write one of those love letters could mean endless embarrassment for you — but it’ll be meaningful embarrassment. Double Take at Hotel Palomar, 10740 Wilshire Blvd., Westwood; Thu., Aug. 22, 7 p.m.; $30 per workshop (includes food & drink pairings, journal and 15 percent dining discount). (310) 475-8711, eventbrite.com/e/love-letters-a-nourished-spirit-writing-workshop-at-the-kimpton-palomar-double-take-tickets-65138192086. —David Cotner
