Stopping in Rosarito to have lunch with a friend at El Nido's Restaurant. Then will look for a couple of bottles of Abavero Tequila Liquer. Will get to the Pyramid about noon on 5-1-08--not to soon to sample the Abavero--

Thanks again Ana. I'm also going to attempt to find the Mezcal liquer that Steve poured.

Keri, where is that liquor store you mentioned?????

elgatoloco - 4-30-2008 at 12:59 PM

Agavero Tequila Liqueur

Have fun on Saturday. Sorry we will miss out on all the fun.

U2U me if you want a tip on a winner for the Tequila tasting. ;)

Keri - 4-30-2008 at 03:01 PM

Don Pistos Liquor stores in Rosarito. There is 3 or 4 of them. There is one up a couple of blocks from El Nido on the other side of the street across from Rosarito beach hotel. k Don Pisto is the guy that carries his stomach around in the wheel barrow . Does that help.k:smug::rolleyes::spingrin:

Bernie and all that are coming don't forget

Bummer, but Greg just told me he injured his back today and won't be there afterall... You can still request an autographed copy of Baja Legends or Baja Fever from his web site. Greg saw this thread on Nomad... and he really wanted to be there again this year!

bajabound2005 - 5-2-2008 at 07:21 PM

Bajaguy, Bajamigo and Bajabound2005 will be there....for a short while around noonish. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Bajafun777 - 5-2-2008 at 10:02 PM

I talked my two friends and wife into taking the motorcycles to the booksigning but will not be able to stay the whole day like last year. Going to enjoy the easy ride down from Brawley through Tecate and ease on into the event by 12 noon or so. Hope to meet up with a few nomads I enjoyed meeting last year and introducing my wife and friends to you:biggrin:. Later======= bajafun777

David K - 5-2-2008 at 10:09 PM

We think we will be there from about 1:00-2:00 (+/- an hour) :bounce:

THE BAJA EVENT to be at is the SIXTH annual Pyramid Resort Baja Book Authors Signing Party!

Meet the authors, taste the free beer and wine, say hi to Nomads... Get outdoors for awhile and off the stupid computer!

SEE last year's party, it was a blast!: http://vivabaja.com/book5

Come on down the toll road to the Alistos/ La Fonda/ La Mision/ Plaza del Mar exit and head north one mile on the free road to the Plaza del Mar compound (note the pyramid)... between Rosarito and Ensenada. 11:00 am to 4:00 pm... Pot luck dinner and tequila tasting party later!

Keri - 5-3-2008 at 06:51 AM

Looking forward to meeting lots of Nomads. k:yes:

David K - 5-3-2008 at 09:14 AM

That is great news Keri... the photo above was taken the morning after last years event... Blue Sky!

We will be heading your way soon... see you and the other Nomads in a short while!:tumble:

Where did all the Nomads go?

bajamigo - 5-3-2008 at 05:05 PM

We went to the book signing today, but what with beach weather and competing fiestas, the turnout was on the light side. Nonetheless, the spirit of the event was great: many popular authors, excellent beer samples (thank you, fdt) and a wonderful atmosphere.

Here's a picture of Bajaguy trying to cadge a few drinks tickets from Baja Bernie (who looked happy and relaxed):




Fishbuck, Bajabound 2005 and Bajaguy share a laugh:





See you next year!

David K, Elizabeth, Audrey and I (Bob H) just got back from the book signing event. The crowd there picked up quite a bit in the afternoon - good bunch of people all around. I won a bottle of wine during one of the raffles, lots of vendors there - and THANK YOU fdt for the beer tasting. Fine beer made in TJ... very good stuff.
I'm sure David K will be posting some photos as he was snapping away! Great weather, fun time.

Bajafun777 - 5-3-2008 at 11:44 PM

Had a great time with this event and really enjoyed seeing Baja Bernie again and introducing my wife and friends to him. Met Fishbuck for the first time, FDT and his wife, David K. and BajaAngel finally ran onto at this event, Met Audrey and Bob H. By the way Audrey your right you need to get yourself a Nomad name and I think my wife is getting ready to decide and my friends are considering sanfelipeFatBoy for his harley. Keri hope everyone had a great time we did:biggrin:. bajafun777

It was nice to meet you too. Audrey said she most likely will not post on the board... but will sign up as just "Audrey". That's my girl!
