For anyone still looking for a cool Thursday night activity, Humanitas is presenting a killer writers panel to benefit the Writers Guild Foundation tonight.

Called “Writing in a Time of War,” the event features recently Oscar-nominated screenwriters Mark Boal (”The Hurt Locker”) and Alessandro Camon (”The Messenger”), as well as Kimberly Peirce (”Stop Loss”) and Evan Wright (”Generation Kill”). My buddy John Horn from the L.A. Times is moderating.

It starts at 6:45 pm at the WGA headquarters at 7000 West Third Street. And yes, there will be wine and cheese and dessert.

If that’s too hardcore for you, the WGF is sponsoring another event next Thursday, Feb. 11, on writing movie musicals. Leslie Dixon (”Hairspray”), Winnie Holzman (”Wicked”), Stephen Schwartz (”Wicked”) and Irene Mecchi (”The Lion King”) and Bill Kelly (”Enchanted”) are all scheduled to appear.
