OC WatchCrunch Meetup @ The Montage Laguna Beach
I'll be in California next week for a friend's wedding and will have a few days to spare. I'd love to organize an impromptu gathering at The Montage in Laguna Beach for a couple of hours. It's a beautiful and secure venue, ensuring a relaxed environment where everyone can feel at ease, without concerns about personal belongings. It would be a great opportunity to meet up in a stunning location. Let me know if you're interested!
Update: There is a Jounre event happening at the 1916 Company in Newport Beach at Hyde Park Jewelers from 11 AM to 7 PM so I’ve decided to push back this meet up so that people that were there can drive down to Laguna Beach if they want to meet and have food or drinks afterwards. Please put your thoughts below on a time you’d like for the event to start. I’m thinking around 6 o’clock.
Meet your host

Any suggestions? I’m willing to change the time
Watch Box having an event the same day in New Port Beach for FP Journe showing so many’s schedule might overlap. Maybe I’ll take the whole Friday off to attend both! Still trying to see if I can make this happen

I think it might be good to push the event back to 7 o’clock because I want to attend the Jounre event as well. And there might be people that would stop by afterwards since it’s just down Pacific Coast Highway.
I'm working that day, so can't attend the Hyde Park event anyways. But the hotel is a short drive. I prefer 7, but 6 is ok.
@STAYINGWARM and @VictorAdameArt will be carpooling up together to attend!

If others are interested, we can definitely start at 7pm. I plan to arrive early, assuming I can leave the Journe event in Newport promptly, to ensure we have ample space at The Montage.

I'm thrilled about the upcoming meetup and finally getting the chance to meet you all. It's sure to be a fantastic gathering!
Oh man! 😢
I'm in town from the 24th (arriving late on the 23rd at John Wayne)
Please reschedule to the 25th?
I'm kidding. Sort of....
Anyway, not sure where I'd send the buzzkills I travel with (my loving wifey and daughter 😉) during a watch meet up.

Check your DM’s. I just sent you a message. Still might be able to link up if you’re available when you arrive into SNA

Are you all hitting the Magic Kingdom? FYI, we're twenty minutes from Disneyland.
Sorry for the tardy response however I'm just returning to WC after a month long break from social media. My wife and I will be in O.C. Friday night and would love to swing by the Montage after.

Sounds wonderful! It's very likely that we've met all the others that are confirmed so we may have to lavish all the New Guy attention on you!😉
Just FYI, this is the parking info:
Yes. Montage Laguna Beach offers valet parking. Valet parking is the only on-resort parking option. The rate for overnight guest parking is $75 per night. For day guests who spend less than $125, parking is validated at $30 for one car. Day guests who spend $125 or more will receive complimentary parking with validation.
Note from Yelp:
It is strictly valet. However, self parking is allowed on the south side of the hotel parking lot. There's about 15 coin operated parking spots only. If you walk farther south about 50 feet there is an underground parking structure (no high profile vehicles) where you can park your car. Remember valet turns out to be 25.00 if you eat at one of their restaurants and get it validated. If you use the beach they won't validate it.

Thank you for posting this. I remember that underground parking lot for visiting the beach. Really appreciate you sharing all this info!
If anybody shows up before 7 you can find me at the Montage Lobby Lounge. I'll be the guy wearing a watch.
I may take the motorcycle to deal with traffic and parking. Must choose a watch to match my motorcycle gear...
We had a blast tonight at The Montage in Laguna Beach! It was an absolute pleasure meeting all of you this evening and I look forward to the next one! Thanks to everyone that made it out. It was such a joy to see all the enthusiasm and excitement that permeates through this phenomenal group of people. Until the next one! Cheers 🥂
It might've been a little fun...
