Hello Guys and Gals,

I wanted to gauge interest for a WLA GTG, tentatively in about 2-3 wks. Likely on a Sat eve around 6:30p.

The proposed location would be at the historic Culver Hotel in Downtown Culver City (where the 405 and the 10 meet). It is a real cool venue with a great bar. Located in the heart of Downtown CC.

Here's the link:
http://www.culverhotel.com/

The chef is Micheal Compean and his food is quite amazing, IMHO. He has agreed to put together a special 4 course menu just for us. The cost for dinner will be $60 per person (not including drinks).

Here's the proposed menu:

CHEF AMUSE BOUCHE

SMOKED SALMON BRUSCHETTA
dill, crème fraiche, caper-shallot marmalade, sesame crostini

DINNER MENU

Bread Basket:
ALPINE CHEESE ROLLS
Smoked cheddar-bacon butter

1st Course:
ROASTED CORN-CHICKEN CHOWDER
micro cilantro

2nd course

ORGANIC BOSTON LETTUCE SALAD
Toasted walnuts, lady apples, green goddess dressing, maytag blue cheese, dried cranberries

Entrée:

KATAIFI WRAPPED CHILEAN SEABASS
creamed spinach, heirloom cherry tomatoes, wild mushroom risotto, mascarpone, pesto

Dessert

BANANA STREUDEL
Vanilla bean gelato, banana caramel, candied pecan, fig

So, were looking at around the second weekend in April. There will be watch trivia (Rolex of course) and prizes. We will bring some wine and there's a full bar. After dinner we can transition to the bar at the Hotel (and sit by the fireplace) or walk to a handful of other local hot spots.

Wives/GF are welcome. I will invite a couple of eligible West-side bachelorettes (They will be wearing WIS quality pieces)

Post feedback/comments on this thread.
PM me if you want me to put you on the list.

I hope we can get enough interest to make this happen, and once we do, it would be real easy to make this a regular GTG.

Thanks for putting this together. I'm interested in the GTG, put me down.

Medtech · 13 March 2011, 04:47 AM

Will do. See you there!

Poohsan · 13 March 2011, 05:11 AM

I'm putting this on my calendar!

Michael M. · 13 March 2011, 06:18 AM

Ill try to make it!

TheVTCGuy · 13 March 2011, 06:24 AM

Put out the date as soon as you can and it will go on my calendar!

jwkunkle · 13 March 2011, 06:45 AM

Menu sounds fantastic!

Medtech · 13 March 2011, 06:54 AM

I will book a solid date ASAP. Just want to get the word out first. If we can get 5-10 confirmed it should be no problem.

Yes, I'm excited about the menu too.
It is not set in stone yet, so if anyone is opposed to it, let me know.
Their regular menu is awesome too.

TheVTCGuy · 13 March 2011, 10:20 AM

Med, be sure to invite the rest of the gand from down here in SD, I think some of them would like to attend. Randy (Steelinox) Tony (Justrolexes) Marco (HydroMarc) and anyone else I'm sure is welcome!

Marrk · 13 March 2011, 10:54 AM

I'm in.

But what's this "Gadaffi Whipped Chileans By the A**"?

Absolutely! I will PM them.

Since we don't have and AD close by, maybe Tony will oblige us.

Grissom · 13 March 2011, 04:02 PM

Aaron.....

Please let me know when you have a firm date, and also, if there could be perhaps a steak option, as my wife is allergic to seafood. We could always order direct from the regular menu, as another option as well.

Thanks for the invite......We would love to come, if the date will not conflict with anything, so as soon as you have it firmed up, I will stand by for the date.

Medtech · 14 March 2011, 05:36 AM

How does Saturday April 16th sound for everyone? Say 6pm? (unless the SD guys want to make it earlier).

Marrk · 14 March 2011, 05:42 AM

Good here.

TheVTCGuy · 15 March 2011, 02:11 AM

I've got it on my books!

Medtech · 27 March 2011, 05:41 PM

Ok, we are CONFIRMED for Saturday, April, 16th at 6pm!!

Please add it to your calendars.

We are adding some alternate menu choices for the fish allergic/adverse folks.

I am going to try to put together a trivia game. Any suggestions on the format??

Medtech · 28 March 2011, 03:41 AM

Michael,

No worries, we will have another.

Esexx · 29 March 2011, 07:44 AM

Aaron,

This sounds great, but funny as it sounds I am just taking one day at a time. I have some personal issues going on and can't commit.

Have a great time and maybe I might be able to meet after the dinner...by the way, that menu sounds sooo gooooood!

Dean,

No problem. I totally understand your situation. Two months ago I would not have had the mental energy to put this thing together.

If you can swing by after dinner that's great.
I'll PM you my cell #.

Thanks a lot! I could use the diversion.
