I'm in, all those dates work for me.

Marrk · 23 September 2016, 09:31 AM

^^Right on, right on.

"Ct. matt" = Connecticut Matt?

Avatar has a diver in it = Scuba Matt?

Snow-Dweller · 23 September 2016, 09:43 AM

I'll be on my annual SF foodie pilgrimage either side of 22nd. Previous year's reports of your GTG looked SO good.....if that becomes the chosen date then I'll look into flying down for the day.

ADPATEK · 26 September 2016, 06:53 AM

Count me in! Any those dates will work for me.

Marrk · 26 September 2016, 07:15 AM

^^You're in, ADPATEK.

towernick · 29 September 2016, 07:36 AM

I'm getting married on the 22nd, so I voted for November 5th.

Marrk · 29 September 2016, 07:39 AM

^^Congrats, Nick. Bring the new bride to our little party.

Marrk · 30 September 2016, 01:14 PM

We're going to close out the poll tomorrow, so get your votes in for a date. This will be the last Beverly Hills GTG before the presidential election, which is to say the last GTG before the end of the world, so you will not want to miss this. And as Screamin' Jay Hawkins once said, "I ain't lyin'."

rolehex · 30 September 2016, 04:31 PM

Thanks for organizing Marrk. I missed the last one so I would like like to partake this time around.

Wesley Crusher · 30 September 2016, 05:26 PM

Just voted. 11/5 should work for me.

Frosty · 1 October 2016, 07:14 AM

Mark, 11/5 will work for me, too!

I'm glad because it wouldn't be a BH GTG without you guys.

Marrk · 2 October 2016, 02:32 AM

Mark your calendars. The date of the B.H. GTG is settled.

Date: Saturday, November 5, 2016

Time: 11:30 a.m.

Location: The South Beverly Grill, 122 S Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.

I will bring the "Hello, My Name Is . . . " tags.

If anyone has any swag that they would like to donate, I will organize a raffle. Last year, thanks to the abundant generosity of the B.H. GTG-ers, we had more raffle prizes (amazing stuff, by the way) than we had attendees. And that's saying something, considering that we had a record turnout. Let's see if we can do as well this year.

locutus49 · 2 October 2016, 02:39 AM

I am having some medical issues but will try to make it. Thanks for organizing this.

Marrk · 2 October 2016, 02:40 AM

^^Heal up, John. It would be great to have you with us.

locutus49 · 2 October 2016, 02:48 AM

Thanks. We have been wanting to visit BH for a while, and this would be a great time to do it.

Just recently moved here to LA, will be nice to meet some fellow watch pals!

Micf3e · 4 October 2016, 03:48 PM

Glad Larry let me know about this, I am in....

locutus49 · 16 October 2016, 09:30 AM

My wife and I are planning to attend. We are deciding whether to drive (rush hour) or take the train.

Does anyone know the closest train station to Beverly Hills? My wife is researching it and it looks like an Uber from Union station to BH is at least 45 minutes. If there is nothing closer, we will probably just drive up. Right now we are planning a day trip, probably eat an early dinner and return home.

Welcome any suggestions.

Also, if we spend the night, can someone recommend a Hotel in Rodeo Drive? Just for one night.

BH doesn't do trains.

I'd recommend Peninsula hotel wise.

Marrk · 16 October 2016, 11:51 AM

John, that's great that you will be joining us. Your understanding of the train situation is about as good as mine. You would get as far as Union Station (a beautiful structure, by the way, the Parthenon of Los Angeles), then you'd have to get car service the rest of the way.

The Beverly Wilshire Hotel and The Beverly Hills Hotel both have outstanding reputations, and they are historic. I'd stay at either one.

locutus49 · 16 October 2016, 12:12 PM

Thanks. We are leaning towards spending the night at the Beverly Wilshire, and taking the train up. We'll just allow time for the trip from Union Station to the Hotel, and then the Grill.

One final question: is the Bev Wilshire walking distance to the South Beverly Grill?

Thanks in advance.

It's about a block and a half. Take it easy on the Mai Tai's, and you should make it in one piece. Be sure to ask for one of Warren Beatty's old suites. He rented a portion of the top floor and lived there full-time when he was a swingin' bachelor in the '60s and '70s.

locutus49 · 17 October 2016, 11:27 AM

Oh, in case I did not mention, my wife and I are confirming. See everybody there. I'll be the old guy.

Superfly10 · 17 October 2016, 04:52 PM

I'm definitely in...this will be my first time at one of these GTG...Look Forward to it!

Marrk · 18 October 2016, 01:37 AM

Things are shaping up nicely. Could be another record turnout.

You could take the train to Union Station and then grab the purple line to the Expo line to Culver City. Short uber ride from Culver City to BH. I'd probably just uber to BH from Union Station though, it will save you a lot of time.

If you're staying the night at the Beverly Wilshire, I highly recommend you make a reservation at CUT for that evening, best steak in LA by a mile.
