Well, kind of.
I am very bummed I cannot attend this event, but another thread reminded me that there is an AWESOME restaurant in La Jolla (just north of San Diego) that if you get a chance to dine there, you should.
At the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club (http://www.ljbtc.com/club/index.html) there is a restaurant called the Marine Room (http://www.ljbtc.com/marine/history.html). The food is out of this world and the view is spectacular; you won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a great place to dine, DO NOT PASS THIS UP!
Here's a quote from the history:
"The restaurant's history actually begins before its 1941 opening. The Spindrift Inn, as it was originally called, was a cozy, four-bedroom roadside inn and restaurant. It was built in 1916 and served as the only lodging on what was once called Long Beach - now La Jolla Shores. In 1935, The Spindrift Inn was purchased by Frederick W. Kellogg, who also bought the adjoining La Jolla Beach & Yacht Club - now the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club.
Kellogg planned to change the Spindrift Inn into a restaurant, but did not live to see his dream realized. Instead, his son, William Scripps Kellogg, resumed work and finally opened the restaurant under its new name, the Marine Room, on May 29, 1941. The opening day menu featured Fresh Lobster a la Newburg in a shell for $1.35, Rainbow Mountain Trout Saute Amandine for $1.25 and martinis for 35 cents."
