HANG (TEN) WITH SURF LEGENDS!
If you know a waterman obsessed with surfing, we have a great event for you. Tantalum Restaurant and SurfAid International will celebrate the beauty of Bali at the Tantalum Bali Surf Sanctuary on Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Marina Pacific restaurant in Long Beach.
Just across the OC border, guests can enjoy food, drinks, entertainment and incredible auction items while benefiting SurfAid International, a great charity that improves the health and quality of life of native people in remote surf spots around the world.
(A donation of $50 to SurfAid International is encouraged, and 75% of every donation is tax-deductible).
The Tantalum Bali Surf Sanctuary features a silent auction that will include autographed surfboards from legends such as Greg Noll, Laird Hamilton, Gerry Lopez, Shawn Tomson and Robert August; a Robb Havassy original "Endless Summer" themed painting on a Robert August longboard; and so much more.
Space is limited. RSVP to mona@moxxepr.com. Tantalum, which specializes in contemporary California and Pan Pacific-inspired cuisine, is at
6272 E. Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach.
WE'VE GOT MAIL!
We've gotten a lot of nice e-mails and letters since Greer's OC was launched more than a year ago. Sometimes, the correspondence is so good that we feel like sharing. We recently received a letter from Shannon Green, founder of Richlee, maker of travel bags featured in a January "Daily Dose." Here are some highlights from her letter: "I really do not even know where to start, except with a thank you! I cannot believe the response I received from being mentioned on your website. I have advertised in magazines, websites and in stores; nothing compared to the respone I received from your Daily Dose. I know you will be a continued success because you have all of the right ingredients: smarts, beauty and a heart. I truly wish you the best." How great is that? Greer's OC subscribers ROCK!
“...the best website in America for fashionistas and foodies!”
