Las Brisas in Laguna should be a requirement for folks coming from out of town.

The food isn't all that great, and it is a bit pricey. However, it is open seating on the patio, and they have great margaritas and guacamole. My girlfriend and I go every few weeks to just take in the sunset with cocktails.

Even if you don't eat there, it is worth checking out and getting some photos for new comptuter backgrounds! There is a unique restaurant across the street called "Madison's" where you eat outside in a garden atmosphere.

Here are some additional photos from Las Brisas.

Going to see Hoot tonight as a warmup and than I think a weekend of drankin' is in order to prepare the liver for next Thursday and Saturday!!!

So anyone else besides Booze, FunBob, & ladyparrothead staying at the Comfort Inn? We really should meet up somewhere and plan to carpool to the venue....save about a $20 parking fee and make sure we don't miss each other in the zoo which will take place in the parking lot!!!

BTW....where's everyone sitting? I'm in Loge 6 Row EE for Thursday and Loge 4 Row BB for Saturday.....although I hope to end up in orchestra both days!

See ya'all next week!!!!

Crap....guess I need to switch my tickets....

This shouldn't need to be prompted....a concert should bring this out automatically!

Oh honey, the weather in Cali has been terrible this year. It has been much nicer in most of the country than here.

We actually made it into the 70's twice this week, first time since last fall.

And right now my part of Cali is having weather that would scare the midwest!

I hope it will blow over by next weekend...so far our long range is a chance of rain...I guess it depends on whether the storm comes up from the south. I'll be packing my ponchos.

Oh, and I know Las Brisas gets crowded on Friday nights, but that little pilot birdie friend has a connection there....so maybe there is a way we can get a table reserved or something. I will ask.

Las Brisas.. all I know is that there's a cliff there and me and some school friends used to go and drink under.

its also just nice to look out over the water..

So the phone rings and it's Midnight Flyer just driving out of SNA after a few days of flying...

He decides to take PCH home...and what do you know...he has to go right by Las Brisas! Look at what arrived in my email shortly thereafter:

Yeah....he got a "Bite Me!" for those...

Okay folks...one week from now WE could be sitting there enjoying a perfect SoCal evening....good friends, good drinks...good food...good times.

Who's in?

Wow! Not bad for a three year old camera phone!!

Like I told Kath (BEG) I will go to Las Brisas early on Friday, 3-ish, and start drin...er, hold some tables on the deck if we arrange a phlocking there. IMHO it is probably one of the best places for everyone to meet. It is 15-20 minutes driving time from the hotels, the margaritas are great, the appetizers are pretty good and it is typical "So Cal-OC". The setting is typical Buffett...Margaritas, Palm Trees, The Ocean, The Sunset behind The Palm Trees into The Ocean and Great Company!

Heck...If everyone agrees, I'll go down there NOW and hold the tables...

I'm not real sure that's something to be proud of...

Sounds like a sweet idea to me. Well it looks like Las Brisas it is.
