A Simple Evening with Bill Medley
09.15.17
Rock n’ Roll Hall of Famer Bill Medley will return to Newport Beach, his home of nearly 40 years, on Monday, Sept. 18, to host A Simple Evening with Bill Medley, a benefit for Lupus International. The annual event, held at the landmark Lido Theater, honors Medley’s late musical partner Bobby Hatfield and his wife Linda, who lost her battle with lupus in 2010. September 18 would have been Linda Hatfield’s birthday.
Now in its eighth year, the fundraiser will feature a cocktail reception, a raffle, and a live auction by Kent French of the Anaheim Ducks. The highlight of the evening will be a concert by Medley, accompanied by his daughter McKenna Medley. Medley will perform the Righteous Brothers classic hits “(You’re My) Soul and Inspiration”, “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”, “Unchained Melody,” and others.
Sponsored by Via Lido Plaza and Fritz Duda Company, the evening will begin with cocktails and gourmet bites from The Cannery, Blue Water Grill, Newport Rib Company, Campus Jax and Sabatino’s.
Tickets for the evening start at $100 per person or $150 per couple for general admission seating for the concert.
Companies and individuals can also become Gold Sponsors for $1,500, which includes 10 tickets with VIP concert seating. Platinum Sponsorship is $2,500 and provides 12 tickets with VIP concert seating, and Double Platinum Sponsorship is $5,000 with 12 front row seats for the concert. All sponsors receive recognition on the Lido Theater movie screen and in the program.
All proceeds from the evening will benefit Lupus International, which provides funding for support and research for this chronic autoimmune disease, as well as pediatric rheumatology fellowships at major teaching hospitals and leading research centers throughout the country.

The Lido Theater is at 3459 Via Lido, off Newport Blvd., in Newport Beach.

TAPS Brea 18th Anniversary Celebration
09.14.17
TAPS Fish House & Brewery in Brea is celebrating its 18th anniversary by serving TAPS Signature Burger for $1.99 (signifying “1999,” the year of opening) on Fridays through September, with purchase of any beverage.
The anniversary special, regularly priced at $15.49, will be served in the bar/lounge and dining room. It’s available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or until the restaurant serves 300 burgers.
Fridays, September 15, 22 and 29, 11 a.m. until 300 burgers are sold.
TAPS Burger is a hefty eight-ounce custom blend of aged choice Angus chuck, short rib and brisket, and layered with sharp cheddar cheese, red onion, tomato, pickle, remoulade and butter lettuce. It’s served on a toasted brioche bun with TAPS garlic parsley fries. You can also customize your TAPS Burger with bacon, sautéed mushrooms, guacamole, avocado, jalapeños, fried egg or a double patty for an additional charge.
TAPS’ director of brewery operations, David Huls, has five lagers on tap, all which would pair well with the TAPS burger. They are: Amend This! an American Pre-Prohibition Lager; DAs Boooze! A German Pils; Vienna Lager; Schwarzbier and Boppeldock, a German Doppelbock.
TAPS Fish House & Brewery is at 101 E Imperial Hwy, Brea. 714.257.0101
