Next Week's 10/15/03 Meeting
Buckle Up & Hit It At Three Universal Studios
Citywalk Venues!
By Brian Leslie, Visionsinlight.com
It's high octane fun at next Wednesday's ISES
Mixer! Universal Citywalk at Universal Studios
Hollywood is our destination and you are in for
some serious fun, food and games. Ever wanted to
drive a race car!? Buckle up and hit 200MPR in
a full-sized official NASCAR Winston Cup simulator
for a realistic racing experience. Drive your own
car and lap your ISES friends to the finish line!
Take in the spectacular shimmering sights that
can only be seen at night on the fabulous Universal
Citywalk, as we head for Stratacasters, Blue Suede
Shoes and a chandelier made of 32 brass saxophones!
It can only be one place. The Hard Rock Cafe! You'll
be famished after making it through the rigors
of NASCAR.
Next stop, roof top patio fun presented by Starz
Entertainment, a driving force in event entertainment,
with game show based on the nights activities.
Then it's time for more hootin' and hollerin' at
Howl At the Moon. If this is your first time, you're
in for a treat. Howl At The Moon gives new meaning
to term "Piano bar", with dueling pianos, guest
participation, singing and dancing to your favorite
tunes and that's just for starters. Valet parking
is $4.00 with validation available at registration.
There is no cover charge at Howl at The Moon for
ISES attendees during this event and your first
drink is just $1.00. We suggest bumping up your
Thursday morning appointments. Just a suggestion...
9/17/03 Union Restaurant Mixer
September Mixer- Of Mind And Spirit -
Union Restaurant
By Brian Leslie, Visionsinlight.com
In September, we enjoyed a beautiful evening at
Union Restaurant located at 1413 Fifth Street in
the city of Sant Monica for another successful
ISES Mixer. There was a large turnout for Debbie
Bermont 's informative presentation of "How To
Keep Your Referral Pipeline Full." Union's elegant
motif is presented via a tasteful mix of decor,
including original artwork, sculpture, fountains
and a rooftop-style outdoor courtyard.
The presentation was followed by cocktails and
tray passed hors d' oeuvres. The Tuna Tartar on
Crispy Wonton with Lemongrass Vinaigrette was epic.
This California/Contemporary eatery is an excellent
location for events that require the indoor/outdoor
LA style we know and love here in sunny Southern
California.
Our fantastic September Showcasers included:
Union Restaurant - Venue, Catering and Bar
Education - Source Communications
Photography - HMP Photography
