"Hello Asian Food Lovers, I hope you're having a great 2010 so far. Mine has been really exciting. There are 2 things that I'd like to share with you in this e-mail. First, as some of you may have heard. ... MoreI am buying a restaurant in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach. It's called Hawaiian BBQ Festival, a medium size Hawaiian restaurant that serves "local" Hawaiian food. This is the reason why I haven't been organizing events. I am currently at the final stages of the escrow and we should be able to close it any day now. Two to Three weeks after I take it over I will be having a GRAND OPENING and you all are invited! Please become a fan of HBF on Facebook to get updates and invitation on the grand opening. Click this link to go to the FB page --> Hawaiian BBQ Festival on Face Book Second, if you like sushi or have always been interested in learning how to make Sushi check this out. Read more about this at my other meetup group, http://www.meetup.com.... BTW, don't forget to sign up for "Thailand dreaming... let's plan a trip to Thailand!" this Sat 20th at 6:30pm. I look forward to hearing back from you guys. Have a great weekend, Chris LocalThaiFood P.S. We're always looking for event host. Please feel free to contact me if you're interested or know someone who might be interested. Thanks. "
