I voted "no" on the Monterey weekend, since I'll most likely be tied up all day at the Historic Races, and unable to get out-and-back-in to a lunch somewhere else.
And it's just one more item to squeeze into an already super-packed weekend.
However, it does sound like an enticing attraction if people are looking for any reason to come from a great distance. (Of course, robricc needs no further reasons!)
Naturally, I'm in favor of doing both!
I.e., empeg BBQ at Matthew's one weekend, and car-drooling a couple weeks later (with perhaps meeting up with the odd empegger or three at various events and/or wandering about town).
On a related note, Cannery row has been under mass destruction recently while they build
[lisa_simpson] "overpriced condos for rich idiots" [/lisa_simpson] on the waterfront.
Does anyone have any insight into if that is supposed to be completed before Car Week?
Edited so as not to imply that Matthew's BBQ is veggie-only.
