Awesome.

I'd love to see Rick & Lu...I'm sure everyone either knows them or will get to know them quickly. They are great guys!

I heart them, too. Why aren't they swankers?!?!?!

Absolutely invite Rick and Lu!

My god! A swanking that is literally less than a mile from our home. Pass the smelling salts. ;)

You all are the ones doing the traveling so you should set the date. But there is an extremely good chance that we will be able to participate. And I can provide any info on the area that you may need.

Oh, and while Nixon may have dined at El Adobe, their favorite Mexican place, which still has entrees named after them on the menu, is about 2 miles away at a place called Olamendi's. Outstanding food. There is also a very swanky little bar called the Wind and Sea in Dana Point Harbor, which is only a few blocks away. They offer a Mai Tai that has a similar effect to a horse tranquilizer. $4 each during happy hour but there is a three drink limit due to their potency.

Anyway, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks, MBC. I may talk to you more about the options after we set a date and I finalize things with David. He's got a good sense of what is fun to do in the area as well. He doesn't post here, but he's a pretty swanky guy - very interested in art and is an architect IRL.

Oh, of course. And, truth be told, I'm not as swanky as some might believe (Gasp!). :D

Still, I have lived in the area for the better part of 20 years so if there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Not sure since i work most weekends and gas prices the way they are. We're one of the few who live very far away. If we could carpool with someone. I've already asked for a few days off in July and August so not sure i can ask for anymore sorry if CM gets a ride with someone he can go.

I call BS! Jazz musician, creative spirit, all-around-cool-guy... that's as swanky as they come.

I'll have to figure out our calendar and get back to the thread later, btw.

None Of Them !!!

Bah, Humbug.
