Anyone going to the 2003 Taste of Newport in Fashion Island?

Taste of Newport Website

I'm going on Saturday 9/20 since Sugar Ray will be performing. Some great food, wine, and cocktails to taste. A very nice "date" event with your significant other. I will be there with Eileen.

Let me know if any of yallz will be there!

 

Sounds interesting...

 

hey bullish, sounds interesting...
does admission cover food, wine, etc.? or just entertainment and entrance?



and do you know the time sugar ray will be performing on Saturday?

 

Admission does not cover food/wine/cocktails etc. Just entertainment and entrance. Parking is FREE in the structure, but there is a valet available as well (not free). I will be there right when this thing starts on Saturday at 4:00PM. I wanna get the best available parking space in the structure, as to prevent door dings, etc.

The "tastes" cost anywhere from $1 - $5 EACH. The $5 will be fore the 4 and 5 star restaurants. I mean... their dishes usually go for $30-50 a pop at their establishment, so it makes sense and $5 for a small tasting dish does not sound TOO horrible. Expect to spend about $20 per person for a good time (couples can share the tastes). $40-50 per person for a GREAT time (with lots of liquor)... Haha.

Also, not sure what time Sugar Ray will be performing... I'm probably gonna be hanging out... drinking until a good part of the night.

If a couple of people commit to being there on Saturday, we can go on a cruise during the afternoon and caravan over to this thing together. Let me know if you'll be there.

 

I'm down

 

BullishZ,
I wanna go.. let me think about it and ask gf.. actually did you order tickets? Or, are you paying at the gate?


Let me know.

I've already purchased my tickets. You can purchase the tickets in advance online, or at the door.

So far, the people in are:



1. BullishZ (1 guest)
2. OC_350Z (and I'm assuming 1 guest as well)





Please feel free at add your names, copying and pasting the original list.

 

Haha, what's up Johnny! It'll be nice to have you join us... we don't care if you come in your Bimmer.

 

Damn I am going to be out of town next weekend and I am going to miss all the mini creme brulees!!!! Not to mention all of Newports finest silicon....

 

So what bums you out more? Missing out of the creme brulees or the boobies?

 

BullishZ,

Love the avatar and the sign pics! Go Lakers!

 

Thanks man! Lakers will OWN this year!

 

damn right, its about time you guys organize something in my 'hood.

 

Ok, so who's going??? So far... Me (and guest) and OC_350Z (and guest?)...

That's it?

 

me.




I bought 2 tickets! wEEEEeeeEEEEeee!

 

Great Johnny! Look forward to having you and your girlfriend join us...

By the end of the week, I will post a good meeting time and location. Any suggestions on where to cruise?

PCH? I think a short drive will be sufficient... since by the time we meet (like 2 pm or 3pm), the traffic won't let us enjoy the canyons.

Oh, and I jacked this sig pic from Money at our other forum. I asked him for permission though.

 

haha sig hijacker

I'm down to cruise anywhere, I was hoping we could get more cars though but it looks like there aren't many others who are interested in going... too bad though because this will be so much fun. Looking forward to the event so let me know!

 

Both!

 

Hey Eric, you're the So. Cal. P.I.M.P. Do you or Eileen have some cute friends to go and if so, call me.

 

Haha. Dan, sorry man...
