Coming to Santa Monica next week. Anyone up for a Pelican Meet?

Hey guys,

Will be in Santa Monica next week, from Monday to Wednesday (you figure it out) so if anyone has the time and wants to get together, lets do it.

Not sure where we are staying but believe it will be pretty close to the airport. Might have wheels, not sure just yet.

Tuesday appears to be the best night right now....

Joe A

I thought that CA blocked off everyone from AZ . . .unless they are illegal, of course.

We are doing like everyone else and jumping the border.

That said, most of the people onboard either carries or used to carry one of those funny colored passports that let you go anywhere you want...

I work in Santa Monica right near the SaMo airport -- would love to meet up if schedules permit.

I hope you're prepared to see thousands of Priuses peppered with 0bama stickers...

Just found out that we are staying at the DoubleTree on 4th street in Santa Monica.

Will have wheels but might have to bring the other pilot with me...

Tuesday is the best day for me, time and place is up to you guys.

Depends on what you want - food, drink, how many people, etc.

Tuesday I can join up after my son's piano lesson.

This place is pretty cool, but is a little north of where Joe is staying.

I'm probably in. I'd love to finally meet Dr. Phil. I think I'm good for Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday!

There is a little place at the base of SM Pier we met once, actually pretty much under the Pier. Denis, do you remember the name where we met with Rick Lee and others? Beer and burger joint.

about 1 mile from 4th is a good gin mill called Chaya. It's 1 block N of Rose


about 1/8 mi is Hotel Victory
Go to Pico to Ocean. Make right on Ocean. It probably still doesn't have a sign. Decent after 6PM, and becomes a hot spot after 10PM


last mill close by.. From Pico walk towards the beach. The last street before the ocean make a left and on the corner is another hotel called Casa del Mar. Go in past the lobby to the bar and restaurant. It's a 1st class place that digs in after 7PM and by 10-11PM the nightingales come out




don't let your meat loaf

I dunno, I think we could do better than that place. There are a boatload of pubs within walking distance of where Joe is staying. Since I don't hang-out in Santa Monica much, I'd have to defer to someone from the west side for particulars.

Chaya would be the home of the $10.00 Budweiser, not familiar w/ the others. The good thing is that most of the bars down there are amenable to a group of guys talking loud and laughing. (Which we usually do if enough Pelicans show up).
