Dear Readers ... I want to share with you a most pleasant evening our SDTR writer-reviewers had together, this past Monday 5/6th, as 20 of us gathered for our Annual SDTR Reviewers Dinner - where the reviewers had a chance to socialize, and meet our new contributing writers of this past year.

We all shared in a rather sumptuous family-style meal of varied shrimp dishes, beef-and-chicken ... and of course, the best NOODLES in the city ... all washed-down with their famed Beer & Saki Towers ... ummm, good, and hosted by owner Steve Yeng, at the OB NOODLE HOUSE.

Steve Yeng and Rob Appel
Guests present, were Esther Paul, Eric Tauber, Kristen Fogle, JP Schuiteman, Steve & Joanie Shirley, Ron & Nowell Bierman, Jerry & Mark Straye, Bill & Rosemarie Ballard, Robert Hampton, Jim Greer, Mike & Adela Polin, and Michael McCafferty.

SDTR Reviewer's Dinner
A so-fun (and very popular) OB hang-out, do drop-in any night at the OB NOODLE HOUSE (2216-18 Cable St. - corner of Voltaire & Cable, in Ocean Beach) ... and, ask for "Steve" .. he is a winner as well!

Try their Beer & Saki Towers !!!

As a San Diego-based professional ballet company to be proud of - just think, 45-years of continuous performances - Maxine Mahon's California Ballet Company, stands among the best in the United States!
