PG Summer Party Saturday 8/31!!

Aloha!

Chef Malahini Ian here to tell you all about our big time luau plans!

This year our theme is a Hawaiian style luau and we plan to take it to the max bruddah!

The party will be happening on August 31, 2024 at Dean Sussman’s little grass shack in the Pacific Palisades.  The address is 1310 Amalfi Drive, Pacific Palisades CA.

The party will start around 2 PM and continue on until late evening.  The party is free for all Pacific Gravity members and their first guest; additional guests may attend for a small fee of $10.  Kids are still free.

Deans house has a large yard and a pool so all attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and swim trunks (and towel) if they plan on going for a swim.

The food will be as traditional style luau food as your haole chef can make it using mainland cooking techniques.  For some strange reason Dean did not want us to dig a traditional imu (luau oven) in his beautiful lawn.  Can’t really blame him for that one.

So I will be making Kalua pig, teriyaki beef, huli huli chicken, lomi lomi salmon and other traditional style foods.  Because our parties are pot luck style also, you are encouraged to bring your favorite party dish, Hawaiian style or not, and we will add it to the feast.  We will have a pupu table (appetizers) and dessert table afterwards if you want to bring something in those categories.

In keeping with our theme our beverage competition this year will be tropical fruits, any beverage be it soda, beer, juice or alcoholic drink that features tropical fruit will be considered for this year’s prize.  All beer, soda and other beverages are member made, so you still have time to plan yours and bring it to the party!  If you plan to bring a keg, please email Carl at competitions@pacificgravity.com  with the name of your beer/soda so you can get a festive tap tag.

As always this event is run by the volunteers, you help is needed!  Set up will be on Friday at 6:30 pm and clean up on Sunday morning are especially necessary.  The volunteer crew has always had a lot of fun while working and it is a great time.

If you have any questions about food, feel free to contact me at MasterChef@pacificgravity.com or if you have question on volunteering you may contact Parker at President@pacificgravity.com
