A little more sweet-talking got us a **reservation for 50 people at 6:00PM on Saturday. El Torito at the Redondo Pier (100 Fisherman’s Wharf, for those who will need to look up driving directions).** I know it’s still a bit on the early side, but I think we can manage. **(The reservation is under the name Cecil Adams, FYI.)** > > It’s walking distance from the Ramada (less than a mile) and 2 miles from the Hermosa Pier area where there are several bars/taverns for partying afterwards, or, if anyone would rather, there’s a great arcade on the Pier to play in afterwards, too. **Departing times** Unknown. You can drop me an e-mail at [Moris@pullnopunches.org](mailto:Moris@pullnopunches.org) and I will collect all of them and post them on here later. 2 weeks and counting. ---

What I posted in the previous thread: I’ll be arriving @ 1:15 PM Friday at LAX and will have a car, so if anyone is coming in around that time (and I don’t mind waiting a bit), I can provide a ride. Email is _[mafladat@aol.com](mailto:mafladat@aol.com)_ if you think you’ll want to coordinate a ride. Whoohoo! ---

I will be there. I will have a Harley (only **Boli** has reservations for a cruise up the PCH right now, other Hot Doper Wimmins may apply). I will have a room. I will be the SECOND most drunk man in LA. I will let **Manservant** rule. This time. ---

As alcoholic beverages will be served, may I suggest that you leave your weapons at home as a courtesy to your fellow celebrants? Knives and clubs are fine, but please, no firearms. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by UncleBill \* > I will have a Harley (only **Boli** has reservations for a cruise up the PCH right now, other Hot Doper Wimmins may apply). I’m interested, but I’m a motorcyle virgin and will probably be a little nervous. That means I’ll have to hold on tight and you’ll get some boobage from behind. These things vibrate a lot, right? That might… umm… _relax_ me. 😃 ---

Ok, but I was confused because the dinner reservations say 100 Fisherman’s Wharf, and the subject says L.A. and I haven’t lived in L.A. (well, I don’t technically live in LA. I haven’t lived in SoCAL) long enough to _know_ where _any_ of this stuff is! ---

Mapquest, perhaps? **Dinner** 100 Fisherman’s Wharf, Redondo Beach. **Hotel** > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Shayna_ > Ramada Limited > 435 South Pacific Coast Highway > Redondo Beach, CA 90277 > Phone: 310-540-5998 > Fax: 310-543-9828 > Rooms: 37 > Suites: 1 > Rate: $60/night for one bed, up to 2 people. $69/night for 2 beds up to 4 people. Mapquest. Mapquest. Mapquest. Mapquest! If you still need help. Show up at the hotel before the dinner and we can take you to the place.IT’s only 2 blocks away.Then you can return for a glorious night o’ boozing. Or, you could come on Friday and welcome everyone who just flew in. I hope this is **all** everyone needs to know. _ **Oct. 19-21, Redondo Beach, California** _ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coldie-spiny-la-dope/85706.md?page=2)
