Dim Sum

July Tweet Up: Classic Cocktails

Finally, a weekend Tweet Up everyone has been asking for!

Join us on Sunday, July 31, starting at 2 p.m. for a blissful afternoon at 320 Main in Seal Beach/@320main.

(Borrowing this pic from OC Weekly blog)

I know, it’s not really Long Beach, but Wyatt (@Phraktyl) helped us arranged for ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR and reserved seating.  Good enough to cross the border just this once!

320 Main is well known for their classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and Pimm’s Cup. And also all kinds of rum drinks. And Moscow Mule, served in tin cups. Best way to cool off on a summer day.

Happy Hour pricing includes:

• $4   Well Drinks
• $4   Select Wines
• $4   Draft Beers
• $4   Select Appetizers: Baby Back Ribs, Bleu Tenders, Fried Pickles, Bruschetta, Calamari, and the famous Duck Fries…which Wyatt ordered with an egg on top…to die for!  See?

Again the details.

Sunday, July 31. Starting at 2 p.m.
320 Main : 320 Main Street, Seal Beach.
Happy hour all day. Reserved seating area.
This being a main beach town thoroughfare, parking can be a bit of a hassle. Wear comfy shoes in case you have to walk a bit.  Bring change for meter. AND PAY ATTENTION to parking signage!

As always, RSVP in the comment with your Twitter name so we can save enough seats, and that we all can follow you back.

California Poppy Festival

It’s that time again. Hopefully it won’t be as windy as last year. I think we’ll skip the hike and just meet at the festival.

Plenty of food,music, and art to capture.

The Festival runs from 10am-6pm. Any inclined to come back to my place for socializing afterwards are welcome to.

Directions can be found here .

@ or DM @dananner if you have any questions.

Halloween on Pine

Halloween on Pine

Come out and party at Halloween on Pine!

A Frightening FREE Halloween Festival – 8PM – MIDNIGHT • Pine & Broadway

• Fabulous food and drink specials from your favorite local eateries.
• Haunting sights and sounds by DJ Groovy Lu
• Diabolical dancing by moonlight
• Hair-raising comedy showcase by the Laugh Factory
• COSTUME CONTEST! Over $1,000 in prizes: Best Superhero • Best Villain • Best Female Overall • Best Male Overall • Most Outrageous

The event, while not outright ADULT ONLY, I was advised that it’s going to be a bit on the rowdy side, like mini West Hollywood.  So if you want to keep your kids from seeing things they’ll ask about later *ahem*, you might want to sneak out without them.

On a selfish note, I am performing Thriler with a group of Thrill the World Los Angeles and OC zombies at 8:30, then I’ll teach for an hour, and perform again at 9:45.  After that, I’m free to party down.

Join me, won’t you?

Long Beach Zombie Creep

…a.k.a. Zombie Pub Crawl this Saturday.

ETA – @oakmonster is assembling a group of @lazombies for a surprise performance at the V Room at some point. So, come on down! …and since nobody replies thus far, I’m just going to cancel this.

Assemble for a night of anarchy and immortalize the 3rd annual 2009 ZOMBIE PUB CREEP!

The alarm has rung to the depths of the grave and the dead are pissed again at the City of Long Beach. This can only lead to one thing “Zombify” yourself and reek havoc upon innocent civilians with us. NO LIVES ALLOWED.  If you’re ready to grab death by the horns and force fear upon humanity, you’re long wait for the bloody zombie nation is over.

The concept is easy; it’s about becoming deceased for one evening to unleash the most unruly of behavior by “zombifying” yourself. Deck yourself out in the deadliest and most creative ways-any way you can think of.

The zombies gather in an unsuspecting crowded area (in this case, Long Beach) and then it begins; zombies, victims, mayhem and booze.

Crawl Lineup:
8pm-10pm V Room 918 E. 4th St.
10pm-12am Cheapshots 941 E. 4th St.
12am-2am Ferns Cocktails 1253 E. 4th St.Any questions? Ask, otherwise we’ll see your rotting corpses there.
