Nevado: That's it... Alegria. Thanks!

How about April 13th? It's not a bad luck day, since in Spain it's Tuesday the 13th that is "hexed". Please e-mail me with your availability for the 13th of April, and any suggestions for venue...Gracias!

I can do it on the 13th of April. Please e-mail at my personal e-mail with the location and confirmed date and time. Thanks!

The 13th is fine. I am open to any any ideas regarding locations.

fine by me as well. i would love to check out a new place (as long as it isn't too expensive, money is a little tight right now).

Here's the plan: April 13th, Allegria in Long Beach, 8-9 p.m. I've e-mailed those who I could. If I missed you, send me a note letting me know you can make it. You can check www.zagat.com for a map to the site if you haven't been there before. I know that sometimes parking can be tight there, so plan accordingly.

See you that Friday!!!

OKAY! It's 8:00 p.m. and luckily we missed the LB Gran Prix this weekend...I didn't even plan that...¡los dioses nos están sonriendo! See you Friday!

I just compleated a little inadvertent reconnaissance of our planned fiesta locale. After enjoying some of the festivities of the Long Beach Grand Prix qualifying, I strolled over to the local Hooter's establishment ( Ladie members , I chastised the manager for its sexist motiff, he apologized and kindly noted that I have made the same complaint on several occaaions prior ) As I stumbled err strolled out of that decadent and repuganant watering-hole, I saw the the inviting sign for Alegria. I entered and and enjoyed an early supper. In short, the food rated well and the service even higher. The waiter suggested that we (LA Dinning Club) get reservations early in the week. The one oddity of this place was that their menu claims to serve "cucina latina", not "Comida Latina" as I would have expected. Perhaps, they will perpare a special plate of chorizo a la Italiana for a recently rediscoverd member of our merry band.

Ciao

I'll contact them tomorrow (Tuesday) and make reservations for what looks to be a party of 10...and I'll request special "chorizo seating" for that certain VITAL member...(you'd better not miss, Nicole!!!!)
