*The Daily Press puts candidates on the hot seat at Wilshire Blvd. club*

*By Daily Press staff*

WILSHIRE BLVD. — The last chance to see City Council candidates in a public forum setting before the Nov. 2 election will be staged tonight at a local nightclub.

Dubbed “Squirm Night,” and presented by the Santa Monica Daily Press, the forum will consist of specific questions posed to each candidate by SMDP editor Carolyn Sackariason. During the second half, candidates will field questions from audience members.

The public will be able to submit their questions in writing to Daily Press staff, who will then pose the questions to individual candidates.

“Squirm Night” begins promptly at 6 p.m. and will finish at 9 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to arrive as much as a half hour early in order to secure seats. Cocktails and other beverages will be available.

The forum will be held at The Space, a nightclub formerly called Lush, at 2020 Wilshire Blvd., next door to the Gaslite. Free parking is available behind the building.
