For myself and Zorak , we'll be at the LEX DO this weekend with a few other Flyertalkers so we won't be around unfortunately.

depends on my SEA-->DCA travel paradigm ... although if I have to hazard a guess today, that's as likely a day as any (and much better for me than the following week)

We'll be meeting up with Zorak on Sunday afternoon for lunch and beverages.

I'll pick him up at Terminal 2 and head out from there.

If you want to join, please post to the thread.

Also - want to flag a potential get together.... I'm going to be at LAX with the day to kill on Dec. 12. Zorak and I are probably going to get an early start around 11 (or whenever breweries open) and then I'll need to be back in the LAX adjacent area in the afternoon (time TBD) to meet a colleague for happy hour.

jrl767 Nov 29, 2021 9:07 pm

That's just some places to drink. There's a whole 'nother list for food. And some others as well.

David

Yeah, I am not sure there's enough breweries to keep an FT crew busy. :D

Cool lists though David my fear of LA brew crawling would be all the driving required since it's LA.

I'm subscribed to the thread and if things develop I'll try and pop over one of these days.

all the venues I listed as “downtown El Segundo” (along with Brewport Tap House) are in about a six-block area

Are you suggesting walking between two locations in Los Angeles? :o

I’m saying — from experience, albeit in 2016/17/18 — that it can be done :D

All these options and not a single mention of Golden Road? Feels incomplete.

Since it's past security in Terminal 6, hard for non-travelers to get to.

I hadn't tried to map possible beverage locations within LAX's terminals for a potential meetup or DO.

Valid. it's other locations aren't a bad shout despite the distance. I haven't met a single person who didn't really like them when I took them there.

Yep, I think we arrive around the same time, ~10-10:30am. Will see if they let me check-in early to the Hyatt, and then... ?

If y'all do an early brunch, that could potentially work for Lyn and I - she has a retirement event at the USS Iowa she's going to for a colleague starting at 1 PM down in San Pedro.

Will toss the Smokey Hollow Tasting & Taproom/r6 Distillery in El Segundo (LAX adjacent) as an additional opportunity to meetup sometime later in the afternoon/evening.

I’m stealing this. Will pay royalties in beer.

Zorak krazykanuck Do you guys have an itinerary or plan for today? I’m doing errands in the Southbay, perhaps I could meet up with you guys for a drink sometime?

I don't think there's any organized plan but meeting up in the afternoon seems likely... will update the thread once details coalesce.

Zorak Dec 12, 2021 12:32 pm

Was delayed a bit due to late arriving crew but now at the Hyatt dropping bags off.

Plan, such as it is, is to head to Three Weavers and/or Tortugo now, and then end up at El Segundo maybe around 2pm or thereafter.

Cool! Let me know when you’re in El Segundo, and I’ll stop by for a drink to wish you guys happy holidays!

Tortugo was rather underwhelming, sadly.

Nice to see everyone yesterday! Happy holidays!

El_Chiflero Dec 14, 2021 10:44 am

I was actually around the LAX area with the Mrs. this past Sunday Afternoon as I had just landed from my MIA-LAX fight and had a 4 hour layover before LAX-PHX. Went to a brewery in Manhattan Beach near the Pier. I should have checked in this thread to see if you all were around.

kauppias Dec 16, 2021 1:51 am

Glad I saw this thread, as I will be in the area over the weekend and since rental cars are absorbedently expensive these days I guess brewery hopping is a good way to go too 😀👍

I definitely do not recommend absorbing too many dents with a rental car, as the resulting costs could be exorbitant for you and/or your insurance company :p

jrl767 Jan 5, 2022 2:22 pm

I'm currently planning to attend the INCOSE International Workshop at the Torrance Marriott Sat 28 Jan thru Tue 1 Feb

my former USAF colleagues are debating venue/s for a Mon evening happy hour meetup, which means Sun (probably also happy-hour-ish time, but I haven't yet seen the final agenda) is my most likely window for FTing

Have you been able to pin down your availability in for this trip? There are a multitude of places to go for happy hour in the Torrance/South Bay as well as for dining depending on what you're interested in.

Let us know what day/time/preferred bevands/preferred food(s) are.
