Michael Miramontes Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone, it's that time of year again for everyone to gather together and swap stories, tell jokes, and meet each other in person. Last year's turn out was such a huge success so I'm hoping we can make this an L.A. thing once a year. This is an open invite to everyone in our sound community so feel free to invite your peers. I'll be doing an evite again this year so that I can get a head count for the restaurant. They're requiring a certain dollar amount to be spent on food/drink so they can reserve our spot so PLEASE order some lunch and have a drink, or two, or three. If vendors want to support the event then by all means the more the merrier. I'll be printing some flyers for all the local shops to display. If you're interested in displaying one in your store then please send me a PM or email so that we can coordinate everything. Hope to see you all there! (I'll be updating this post with any changes/updates) Ok, here is the evite link to RSVP. Feel free to share it.

Michael P Clark Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Dang, flying out that morning. I was hoping something like this was happening while I was out there.

Michael Miramontes Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ok folks. Well, this year around isn't going to be as big as last year's event. So, I'm in a bit of a pickle here since the venue, Gordon Biersch, wants me to reserve the patio for our event. The reservation requires that we spend a certain dollar amount in order for them to hold our spot. Based on the RSVP's thus far, compared to last year, it seems like this time it's going to be a more casual thing. So, I don't think we would be able to come up with the dollar amount they'll require for the location. I guess the alternative would be to just crash the place and hang out in a spot inside the bar/restaurant or find another spot that we can just chill out at? Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Burstein Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I think plenty of other restaurants would be happy to have us. My vote is to choose a different location... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blas Kisic Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hey, Michael, I just changed my reply to "yes", and I see there's 22 confirmed - from previous experience I would say there'll be around 30 people. What's the dollar amount they require? Also, why do we have to reserve the whole patio? Can't we just say "make 30 seats available, please"? Cheers, BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check today to see if they can just reserve 30 seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blas Kisic Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 That's $60 a head, if we make it to 30 people. Don't know about youse, but I'm not planning on spending that much… Better to just reserve an area, or a number of seats, or simply to find another location. Sorry, don't have any suggestions. Thanks for putting this together, BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Miramontes Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Alright, well Gordon Biersch said they will still reserve enough tables/chairs in the patio area to accommodate around 30 people. I'll probably buy a few pitchers of beer to get things rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
