Final reunion update!
Yup, this is the last update you’ll see unless something changes between now and the start of the reunion on May 8.
What this will add to the the previous information is dinner plans for the three evenings of the reunion.
Carolyn Ugiss (Altieri) has made reservations at the restaurants listed below, in each case at 7:30 for two tables of 8. (If we can all fit at one table, we’ll cancel the other one.) All are within walking distance of the Ocean View Hotel.
The plan is the same every night: Meet at 7 pm in the lobby of the Ocean View and walk to the restaurant by 7:30. Like everything else at the reunion, attendance at the dinners is optional but of course much encouraged as they’ll be a great chance to eat, drink, shoot the breeze, and make merry.
If possible, please let us know if you're coming to any/all of the dinners, how many are in your party, and whether you'll walk with us from the Ocean View or arrive separately. You can do this by leaving a note here or by emailing me at sj.alaska@gmail.com.
Here are the days and restaurants:
Sunday, May 8:
Del Frisco Grille
1551 Ocean Ave
Monday, May 9:
Buca di Beppo
1442 2nd St
Tuesday, May 10:
Border Grille
1445 4th St
To recap, here are the full details of the Santa Monica reunion of the East Anchorage High School Class of 1965:
Dates: Sunday, May 8-Wednesday, May 11 (Sunday and Wednesday are travel days.)
Headquarters: Ocean View Hotel, Santa Monica
http://www.oceanviewsantamonica.com/
Schedule:
Sun-Mon-Tues, 7pm: Gather in Ocean View lobby, walk to dinner at nearby restaurant, arriving by at 7:30
Monday, 11 a.m.: Universal Studio Tour. Meet up outside the entrance to the line for the Shrek 4-D attraction, which is just inside the main entrance gate. That way if you’re early you can get coffee or water or some other refreshment while you hang out inside the park. Ticket-wise, you want a day pass.
Info and tickets here: http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/
Tuesday, 2 pm: Tour of the stars’ homes by Ultimate Hollywood Tours
Meet at 1:45 at Ultimate’s bus-boarding area, 6660 W. Sunset Blvd.
Info here: http://ultimatehollywoodtours.com/
How to buy tickets: I recommend that you do it over the phone so that you can tell them you are with the “East High Reunion.” This won’t get you a discount but it will increase the chances that we all end up on the same bus. I think the buses only hold about 14 people, so there’s some chance we will be able to commandeer an entire bus for ourselves! The phone number (also on the website) is 323-915-1889.
You can buy online if you prefer, but there is no way online to do the “East High reunion” thing, so you may not end up on the official ‘65 T-Birds tour bus!
You’ll be happy to know I’ve requested a bus with a cash bar. Sadly, I’m told that’s not likely. However, I’ve also requested our tour guide be a famous screenwriter named Steve Bingen, which is possible, because he does work for Ultimate Hollywood.
Why famous? Because he was one of the writers of a cinematic masterpiece called “The Ghastly Love of Johnny X.” It was the lowest-grossing movie of 2012, raking in an awesome $2,436 at the box office! Which may explain why he is now a tour guide for Ultimate Hollywood. You can check it out here at the Internet Movie Database: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754633/
And finally:
Here are my cell phone number and email address. Feel free to contact me at any time with any questions about the reunion.

If you’re on the reunion email list, you’ll have received as well the cell numbers of Bill Cummings and Carolyn Ugiss (Altieri), the two other members of the ad hoc organizing committee for this awesome event. Feel free to call or text either of them also with questions about the reunion.
Hope to see you in Santa Monica!

Santa Monica reunion update!
I’m happy to report that the Santa Monica reunion of the East Anchorage High School Class of 1965 is still a happening thing!
To recap:
Dates: Sunday, May 8-Tuesday, May 10
Headquarters: Ocean View Hotel, Santa Monica
http://www.oceanviewsantamonica.com/
Schedule:
Your tireless ad hoc organizing committee has come with an actual, but limited, schedule for the reunion. Like everything about the reunion, this schedule is entirely voluntary and optional. The point of this reunion is to hang out and get reacquainted. The events are just various forms and forums for doing that:
Sun-Mon-Tues: Gather in Ocean View lobby at 7 pm for some sort of group dinner expedition
Monday, 11 a.m.: Universal Studio Tour. Meet up outside the entrance to the line for the Shrek 4-D attraction, which is just inside the main entrance gate.
That way if people are early they get a coffee or water or something inside the park.
