So Cal Beach Herf. March 28, 2015

[jwintosh]

The first So Cal Beach Herf was held in October 2008, at Aliso Creek Beach... the second in October 2009. We had such a blast, it was decided to have them twice a year since. Always the same place. Always the same time. If my calculation is correct...

I can likely make it for at least some portion of the day, especially if my wife and kids want to take a hike down there.

 

[Smok'n O'side]

Right on!...Thanks for the post Jeff...Fresh squeezed Kool-Aid for everyone!

 

[StogieGuy55]

I am going to try my best to make this! As it gets closer and I am able to commit I'll bring whatever is still needed.

 

[Senor Perfecto]

Looks like that inn is closed

 

[jwintosh]

Ah crud. Try the travelodge Laguna beach. That one is across the street too.

Let's pahtaaaaaaay! Let me talk my mom into having her birthday on that Sunday and I'm there!

I'll bring wood and some growlers o'suds.

 

[socalsailor]

Is there anywhere to BBQ down there? I could make a Costco stop a day or two prior, if we can get a head count.

 

[jwintosh]

I usually bring a smoked meat of some sort. Tri tip, pulled pork... Danny usually cooks up hamburgers. Steve usually brings fixins for salami sammichs. Use the corner of the fire pit w charcoal to cook over. Always a ton of sides ... We're eating all day long!

Danny had posted on a previous thread about cooking up a whole pig this year.

Last herf, the turnout was much more than the headcount! We still had too much food.

I *should* be able to make this, just need to verify with the missus

Sound fun! Was thinking of bringing my wife and 18 month old and setting them up upwind away from the BOTL smoke.

Are there usually families with kids playing around the BOTL location?

How thick is the smoke?

Is this a party foul? Maybe they should just go shopping...

 

[Upnsmoke]

Put me on the bus with the "interested but not committed yet" crowd...I'll check the calendar and let you guys know if I can make it...

 

[jwintosh]

For sure, bring family and wives, et al. Mine usually attends, though not this one. CWS usually brings his (Apple pie!!). Mark and Dave bring theres. As do a few more. Usually have at least 3 easy ups.

What Cigar Jedi said.

tell you what, if you get the all clear I'll drive to your place and you can drive us to the herf in whatever the "Liebermanmobile" happens to be. We'll drag @erjaq along too.

*rumble seat*

Now he has to get something with a rumble seat.

 

[socalsailor]

I'm getting closer and closer to a confirmed yes. My wife wants to roll out with me and bring the kids, so hopefully a few more of you guys can drag families along. How sweet would it be to sit around smoking cigars all day WITHOUT burning the "baby, just watch the kids for awhile" pass?

 

[Upnsmoke]

I knew I had something going on...Just remember that we will have a performance on that night.
Anyone not able to make the Herf and want to come out for some live Brazilian music, we will be performing in Culver City.

I don't think you need to worry about having to stay "upwind". Unless you are directly in someones face, the smoke dissapates quickly.
It is my sister's birthday and if she has plans that doesn't include me, Ill be there with the Smoking Fire Tiki.

It should be done by the Herf!
