Dodgers vs. Phillies Game 3

Last night we went to see the Dodgers play the Phillies in the new Baseline Box Seats.

Here is the scoop. The Dugout Club is better because of it's location from behind home plate and next to both the Dodger dugout and the visiting dugout but the new Baseline Box Seats are cooler because of the actual seating.

If you have ever been to the box seats at the Hollywood Bowl it is kind of like that. You have 4 people per box with a table in front and a shelf below that to put your things. The seats are actually located where the field use to be so you are really close to the baseline.

Just as the Dugout Club, it has complimentary food such as a tri-tip station, pasta station, salads, sundaes, lattes and of course Dodger Dogs, peanuts and Cracker Jacks.

Oh yeah...about the game...Dodger won!

Oktoberfest The Best In The West....Torrance, CA

Every year the South Bay In LA celebrates Oktoberfest at Alpine Village in Torrance, CA. Last year they tore down the old Oktoberfest area and built a new tent. Every year I come here with my SO and a good friend that is a Swiss German to enjoy the festivities very much like being in Munich.
Alpine Villages flies over bands from Munich for the celebration. In LA we have a large population of people from all over the world and Germans are just a few.

Over the years I have met many people here that are ex-pats from Germany as well as many Americans too.

If you come here you will see the young and old from many places across the globe to enjoy the yearly Oktoberfest celebration.

Down And Out In The OC:

In my past life I worked at the Disneyland Resort for 17 years but I haven't been back since I quit in 2007 so when a friend called to invite me to brunch at Club 33 it was not hard to convince me to go.

Club 33 is a private club located inside the Disneyland park. I am fortunate enough to know several of their members so I have been going there for almost 15 years.

There has always been a wait list of several years to become a member but apparently someone posted their email online and they received more than 10,000 emails asking to become a member so the wait list is currently closed.

The brunch offers several items on their menu such as lamb, salmon, flat iron steak and pasta. There are also a couple buffet tables with salads, smoked salmon, lobster and crab claws, and a dessert table too [top photo] .

Club 33 members receive a card that allows them and their guest to enter both Disneyland and California Adventure. If you are invited and the member is not there you go to guest relations to pick up your admission ticket that also works at both parks. So after brunch we decided to hit a couple rides at Disneyland like the Haunted Mansion [see above photo].

Afterwards we headed to the California Adventure and rode California Screaming [below photo].
