Since we bought our train tickets and hotel reservations, we are 100% in. I will google Mastro's. Done. Mastros looks good. Is it walking distance from Rodeo Drive?

Hope to meet you at the GTG on Saturday. I'm 80% in.

Depending on what happens with Sema, I'll definitely try to make it...always been to car meets, never Rolex GTG.

Yes, it's walkable. Although it is LA, and no one walks!

Take an Uber to Water Grill in Santa Monica, you're welcome.

I was just there a few weeks ago. Had the king crab legs. They were excellent. But I still prefer Mastros' overall menu and food far better. YMMV.

Crustacean on Little Santa Monica. Danny has been there. Maybe he can chime in with an opinion.

That's great Abraham. I'm a car guy, too, and I know Sema is a big deal, but I hope you can make it to our little party.

By the way, I sent to a PM.

Santa Monica is far, and it's a traffic nightmare on the weekends.

Besides, he'll be right in Beverly Hills. Surely, that little burg has some decent vittles somewhere.

I am very happy to report that some most excellent raffle prizes have been donated by TRFer "scombs." This is the second year in a row that he has come through for us, and I thank him greatly.

Sean has graciously donated 15 watch wraps. I don't think anybody will be disappointed to take one of these babies home.

Sounds great. Hold 2 seats for us. We are taking Uber from the train station to Beverly Wilshire Hotel and then will walk or taxi to the GTG. Hard to predict time of arrival at GTG.

Less than two days to go, sportsfans.


So, don't spend all of your winnings from betting on the Cubs.
Save some for our terrific GTG and maybe even a watch purchase in Beverly Hills afterwards.

Apologies chaps. I unfortunately won't be able to make this go-round.

My wife got sick yesterday and I'll now need to take our kiddo to a birthday party...unless you all want to change the venue to Chuck E Cheese?!

Looks like a great turnout. Wish I could have made it. Unexpected client meeting prevented that. Hope you all are having a blast. Send more photos.

We had a great turnout and a lot of new friends! We covered three large tables and a small one. I just wished Steve was there

A big thanks to Marrk and all who helped organize today's GTG. It was a big turnout. And, the raffle was a great touch, and everyone was a winner!

It was nice to meet many of you for the first time as well as to see some familiar faces again. Look forward to the next one.
