To anyone in Los Angeles -

Remember Kelbo's, the coolest place on Earth?

For those who do, does anyone know what happened to the fantastic, pop-art lucite wall that used to be inside?

For those of you unfamiliar with the wall, it was a floor-to-celieng lucite block embedded with random objects from 1963 (the year it was made), including barbie dolls, teacups, records, silverware and, I beleive, a fried egg. The whole thing was eerily lit up from beneath, with the objects artfully suspended inside.

Does anyone know the fate of this unique object d'art? I kind of doubt they left in in there when they convereted the place into a strip club.

If it's no longer in exsistence, does anyone know where I can find a pic somewhere?

P.S. The Kelbo's wall was an endless source of fascination for me as a kid. I'm not looking to buy it, just want to make sure it's OK and has a good home somewhere. Thanks!
