Why Winterlicious?
Are people really surprised at their disappointments with Winterlicious? Year after year, people on this board and others talk about their experience with bad food, terrible service, rushed seating, bad location, server attitude, limited avability of expensive wine, being patronizied... etc, yet people still seem to think that they can be the exception.
I'm not saying that people can never enjoy Winterlicious. Many do. But for every good Winterlicious experience I read at least 10 bad ones, and this is over a period of at least 5 years.
Here is how I break in down: there are two categories:
1. Very expensive restaurants (Canoe, Truffles, etc)
Sure, you're getting a better deal (normally, let's say a three-course dinner will cost $70 per person before drinks and tips - $18 + $41 + $11)
But is it really worth it? First of all, with Winterlicious I was always forced to order something that I would not otherwise order, so I can't exactly say I'm saving money there. Besides, given all the potential disaster elements (and they almost certainly will happen at a restaurant like Canoe or Truffles during Winterlicious), you will almost certainly have bad experiences throughout the night.
2. Moderately expensive restaurants (others with $35 dinners)
It is true that with less expensive (and probably less popular) Winterlicious restaurants, your chance of getting a bad experience is slightly less. On the other hand, because these restaurants are less expensive, you are also not saving as much money. We're talking probably paying $35 for a meal of $50-55. Again, given that you will have to order food that you won't otherwise want to order, and the potential (albeit a little less) for disaster - trust me, there is always room for bad experiences with Winterlicious - again, is it worth it?
For me, if I have to pay $35 for 1) $70 of food that I won't otherwise choose, plus a 80% chance of having a bad experience (at the very LEAST, getting rushed through the meal), or for 2) $50 of food that I won't otherwise choose, plus a 50% chance of having a bad experience, I may as well save my money just to dine normally.
Contrary to popular belief, you are not saving that much money with Winterlicious.
Take Boba for example.
$9.5 apps + $30 main + $7 dessert, $47. You are saving $12. Would you not pay $12 to buy the broader power to choose, and the potential for better service and more time?
Yep......winterlicious' idea was to give people a chance to eat the best, in the best restaurants, at a discounted fee. Unfortunately that is not the way it turned out. It turned out to be all about making money, so why bother. Here is something that you may find interesting. There is one restaurant, Lolo, that has a prefix of 3 courses for $22.95 as a regular special on their menu and have done this since they opened, a few years ago. Now they are in winterlicious and do 3 courses for $25. Does that add up? Where is the value here! There are actually a couple of Italian restaurants part of winterlicious that sell primarily pasta and pizza. Why should they be in winterlicious? I think that the winterlicious organization should go back to the original concept, only let the best restaurants join and make them showcase their food or else they're out next time around.
can we just learn to roll with the punches more?
i'm going into perhaps my 2nd year of licious' and rather than being jaded by the whole experience i think that a veteran can learn how to make the most of it. this event is not effective for hyping up your first meal at a particular upscale restaurant and expecting to walk away with a tonne of cash in your pocket. with so many individuals trying to make a buck and save a buck, events like this are bound to crash and burn by never being what anyone expects from either end.
how i make the most:
- only pick restaurants you like the menu of and have a good cookery reputation, if you don't want to be forced to eat something you never wanted.. don't go!
- get the late seating, you'll have a more relaxed time and so will your server
- don't expect fantastic service, don't expect shite either but if you end up getting fantastic service during a 'licious... then it's definitely a place to go back to
i now abide by these rules and after the first licious or so of learning i now have a fantastic time out and get away with some tasty meals for great prices.
ps. and i did get to do canoe in the first year... bland food, great service, wanted to eat everyone else's meal off of the regular menu.
re: pinstripeprincess
The thing is... if a restaurant can't get a simple menu right, why on earth should I come back and pay full price for something more complex? It's the triumph of mediocrity with this event and I don't think it's an excuse to say "it doesn't pay" or "it's too much work". If you can't do it right, don't do it at all... That's my theory and I'm sticking with it!
re: kawarthagirl
i don't believe i mentioned a single thing about accepting bad food.
a menu is a menu, you either like the words or you don't and many people seem to actually ignore this part when they pick a restaurant that will be serving them a limited number of choices. the winterlicious menus are often uninspired and hardly ever have items they are likely to feature on their regular menu. if you still like what they've listed on their prix fixe with all this in mind... then go for it.
but if the food is absolute trash then don't go back. i'm not advocate of crap food, but let's be honest about what our expectations for an event like this ought to be rather than ideally what it should be.
re: pinstripeprincess
The triumph of mediocrity extends beyond the food to the whole experience. The mark of great nation is how it treats its most impoverished and imperilled citizens. Well, to me the mark of a good restaurant is how it behaves in even the most extreme circumstances, which I think many people would believe that Winterlicious is one of... I believe in always putting one's best foot forward, regardless of the situation.
With Winterlicious, you get the feeling that restaurants are participating because of peer pressure/duresse... Why was Winterlicious invented? To bring attention to restaurants at a slow time of year? Well, all it does is bring bad service, food and bad grace into specific relief... Pointless. Not all PR is good PR, I don't care what Samantha Jones says... :)
re: kawarthagirl
while i may not have specifically said it, i do agree that if you can't do it right then why bother?
but as the case stands, winterlicious doesn't seem to be changing nor is the attitude of the restaurants... so make the most of it. don't like it, don't go. but there are some restaurants that do it right and you just need to know where to look for them.
Sorry Princess I'm with Singar.
Most restos tend to give you a mass produced, cheap appetizer and same with the dessert. So in fact, for $35 you are paying $5 for each sub-par app and dessert and $25 for the main. Is the main worth it? for $22 I can get the deluxe sushi platter from japango.
Because restos aim for a 30% or lower food cost thats what you will get. no special deal. but with winterlicious there is savings due to volume. it would be good if the saving were passed on to the diner. but after dining at many i can tell you they are not!
plus, imho, i think winterlicious is a foodie event and not for chowhounds (see alpha dogs manifesto). so stay away.
but if you are going to go (and ignore the facts of running a successful business) follow the Princesses rules.
re: HarryLloyd
"i think winterlicious is a foodie event and not for chowhounds (see alpha dogs manifesto)"
?? Care to elaborate? Definitions, please.
re: estragon
Back in the day when www.chowhound.com was a simple affair, the home page declared its "anti-foodie" manifesto. Foodies are presumably defined as hype-loving scenesters who jump on the latest food wagons. Now that chow.com has arrived, it has officially become a foodie board, with fewer and fewer true chowhounds sticking around and sticking up for the original philosophy. Would the real chowhounds please stand up?
I tend to be a creature of habit, and over the course of last few Sundays, I wander in to my favorite restaurant by myself, read, drink and have my dinner and never leave less than content. Last Sunday, the first Winterlicious Sunday, I wander in - I did have a reservation by the way - was seated beside a table for 7 who were there before I got there and were still finishing up when I left.
My point is that by the time everything was said and done, the three wait staff and one of the owners who served them made less money on them than they did on me. Having spoken with more than one restaurant owner, I think that they have a love/hate relationship with 'licious promotions. Love because they generate buzz and hate because they have to work three times as hard to make about the same.
I personally will not try a new restaurant during a 'licious promo, and in case I am forced to, I'll always order off the main menu or go to a place that does not participate in the promo.
every winterlicious menu is pretty much the same with a slightly different garnish.
Apps are a variation of soup or salad. Mains are beef, chicken and salmon.
It's a cattle call. Don't go somewhere during the various 'licious events and judge the restaurant. It's not a true representation of the restaurant.
re: industry worker
Silly me, on first reading I thought you said "the vicious 'licious events"! it does have a nice ring to it though...
I also find many 'licious menus boring and not enticing enough for me to try. Grilled chicken breast at the Canoe? No thanks. I try to look for those with a bit more variation. E.g. risotto as appetizer, salmon roulade as main... Not too many but they're there.
re: Food Tourist
Perhaps they should offer a higher price bracket menu for people that are willing to pay a bit more (still a little less than usual) so that they can offer finer items to those people to try.
re: pescatarian
I've seen those "upgrade" charges before at 'licious (and RW in NYC) events, and it's a great idea, but I somehow feel cheated. Why can't restaurants just use 'licious as a marketing tool to encourage return visits instead of trying to make a huge profit? I think I know...'licious attracts a different group than normal. But what is the point of saying, "I ate at Canoe last night!" if you can't say you ate something from their regular menu? Is it all about the hype?
re: Food Tourist
I am hypothesizing, but I would guess that most people that go for 'licious, do not want to eat some of the items on the main menu and if what they are offered is decent (hot, served with a smile, etc.) they will be happy and enjoy the experience and that is why the restaurants can get away with it.
I don't think I would feel cheated if I could order regular items for a slight discount for 'licious, but not as cheap as the $25/$35 range and by doing so be able to try the restaurants true gems.
I am going ot Flow on Sat night with some friends (not my choice, I was not that keen on going anywhere for 'licious, but it's Girls' Night, so why not) so I will report back on my experience.
re: pescatarian
Yes, a 10% or "save the taxes" discount or coupon offer (buy x, get x or y free) would be ideal instead of this special menu prix fixe nonsense.
I've been avoiding the "licious" events because I can't eat that much food. When my SO and I go out for dinner we usually split an appatizer, each get a main, and if we are extra hungry we'll split a dessert. I find that we can go out for dinner on a normal night, order from the whole menu, not stuff myself silly, and pay about the same (not including drinks of course).
Some of the restaurant is just bad at winterlicious.
My friends went over to Truffles (high end stuff) and they waited for 2 hours to get a table. And of course they have reservation. This is beyond any of the rule that someone suggest to follow...it just sucks ! And yeah, this is not a true representation of the restaurant, ya right.
It is a fact that some restaurants cannot handle winterlicious, so don't overtake reservation or just don't do it. Truffle has been in 'Licious for many year. Can't they forecast the overwhelming and find a way to deal with it ? Why do they choose to promote their restaurant in such a way ?
It is just a lose-lose situation.
Here's my two cents on the subject:
There is a finite number of qualified restaurant staff in Toronto. For the period of time during Winterlicious a restaurant can quadruple its volume but is unlikely to increase their labour proportionately.
If a restaurant is lucky they hire friends and siblings of current staff for the duration of Winterlicious, but most just try and cope. The dumbed down menu which is most often served in conjunction with the regular menu adds major prep hours, increased service and support staff with little or no training.
Is there a solution? I don't think so.
And if you are a professional server or chef, do you want a job for 2 weeks of hell only to be let go because your labour cost is unwarranted February 8th.
Winterlicious and its good-weather companion, Summerlicious - an idea borrowed from New York, I believe - is simply a good idea that, like so many good ideas, has been overwhelmed by its own success. It was enjoyable the first couple of years, but nowadays during its run reception desks are mobbed, staff are harried and food somewhat industrialized (a lot of the participating joints seem to feature filet of Atlantic salmon). Some spots can rise above it all, like - in my experience - Niagara Street Cafe, Zucca and Auberge du Pommier - but most are just treading water. If you like the manic atmosphere of approaching the reception desk at 8 p.m. on a Saturday night at the hottest restaurant in town, then Winterlicious is for you. That'll leave me free to stroll in to those of my favorite spots that aren't tied to Winterlicious, where I'll enjoy a relaxed meal with a wider range of options. To me, all Winterlicious' three-course specials mean is a free dessert for the flat price - in short, I'm paying market price for an appetizer and main dish, and they throw in a dessert for free. Nice, I suppose, but it has become too much of a hassle. Mind, I'd go to Auberge du Pommier in a heartbeat during Winterlicious if I could get a reservation time other than 2 p.m. for lunch, and to Niagara Street Cafe if I could find a parking spot within five blocks of it. But it is not to be, at least for this year. I'll just wait patiently till this annual winter foodfight falls out of fashion, so that I can enjoy it once again.
I find myself consistently agreeing with most of what everyone said. But something that "Food Tourist" said stuck out: 'licious events are mainly aimed at (not only for, but aimed at) a different group.
HarryLloyd suggested that the 'licious events are for foodies and not Chowhounds, I think that is far too harsh on the foodies.
To me, at least foodies know what is good food, what is a good restaurant. I think the 'licious events are for NON-foodies (so of course, non-chowhounds), who just want to go for the crowd, the hype, the event, and the chance to say "hey, I ate at Truffles last night. Yeah, yeah, ain't all that."
To me, a Non-foodie is one who will eat at Truffles during 'licious
A foodie is one who will eat at Truffles outside of 'licious
And a chowhound is one who won't bother with Truffles altogether. I mean, come on now.
re: Singar
A chowhound is one who blazes new trails but also takes good advice from reliable fellow 'hounds. Good chow might cost a little or a lot, but the real 'hound wants only the best-tasting food regardless of poor service or abysmal atmosphere. (But I'll still complain about service and dirty bathrooms on this board.)
I went to Truffles for 'licious last winter, decided to try the "chocolate" tasting menu instead, received noticeably better service immediately, and thoroughly enjoyed 4 out of the 5 courses. Brilliant food!
re: Singar
This is hilarious btw.
I like how people are getting all snooty about everything. At the end of the day, summer/winterlicious is just an excuse for people to gather. If it gets people to come out and enjoy conversations over a meal, then I'd say it's a job well done.
It's akin to going to a restaurant you're not fond of, but you end up going anyway because it's worth it to take one for the team and enjoy everybody's company. Food is nothing if not for the company you keep, people often forget about that.
re: Food Tourist
re: HarryLloyd
If it was just about the food, why do people talk about service, mood, ambiance and such?
You believe what you wish, but I value the communal experience of food. It is important to me.
Just because winterlicious doesn't fit into a chowhound's definition of good food, doesn't make it a total waste. It is still doing a lot of good in expanding a regular joe's culinary horizon. If it convinces one person to try something new, then I think it was well worth it.
I do however see a decline in the overall quality of the promotion. Quite a few cache restaurants have dropped off the list, and replaced w/ places just trying to cash in on the promotion. I agree w/ all those points, but as w/ anything, it's up to the consumer to research and determine what is the best deal. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for.
As mentioned before, Batifole is an excellent choice, as is Zucca. There are diamonds in the rough.
Just want to add a few fair words. It is POSSIBLE to get a nice meal during 'licious. Went to EPIC in Royal York last year for summerlicious (at 12:00 noon). This year I turned to Acqua for a Friday dinner. Both experiences were very good, with good food and attentive service as usual (I used to dine in both res regularly). Of course, the portion is smaller, but it's just perfect for a person like me who can only finish one third of the regular portion. I really look forward to another dinner in EPIC again this Friday!
"Food is nothing if not for the company you keep, people often forget about that."
I tend to disagree. Sure, it's nice to eat with good company. But that's besides the point.
Maybe good company can overcome bad experience at 'licious, but won't it be better eating at a good restaurant with good service while you're with such good company?
It is always better to have good food and good service, no? Just because good company can overcome some bad doesn't mean one should actively go after that bad.
"Summer/winterlicious is just an excuse for people to gather"
But that is precisely what I am trying to prevent! If people are going to get together, why pick an occasion that leads to bad food with bad value given through bad service? Why not just pick a restaurant outside of licious and get together, and enjoy better value, better food, better atmosphere, and better service? That would be a pretty good excuse to gather, no?
People use 'licious as an excuse to get together precisely because they have an incorrect perception of it. If they understand that they are getting better value outside of licious, they won't get together for the licious events.
Besides, you are just proving my point about licious events for NON-foodies. Chowhounds, or even foodies, don't need discounted food as a reason to get together. FOOD, in general, is a good enough reason to gather. I haven't heard of chowhounds or foodies waiting for the licious events so they can gather. Why not just gather and eat tonight?

iTunes 7 added a feature similar to one found in iPhoto where you can move your music library to a non-standard location. This is very different than moving just the Music folder as was possible in previous versions. Hold down option while starting iTunes and you're presented with this window:
If you were to move the entire music library (databases, games and all) in the Finder and then select its new location, you'll have the desired result.

A much anticipated pitching match up ended prematurely must to the chagrin of a sell out crowd in Washington. Rookie Phenom Stephen Strasburg was scratched from his scheduled start tonight when he was unable to get loose while warming up before the game. In his absence, journeyman Miguel Batista took the hill and promptly led a four pitcher attack that shut out the Braves.
Braves starter Tommy Hanson once again struggled early with his command and location but this time was ultimately done in by his defense behind him. Two Braves throwing errors led to two unearned runs against Hanson who went six innings allowing six hits and totaling eight strikeouts. With the loss Hanson's win loss record for the season sinks to 8-7 as he has been the model of inconsistency lately.
Offensively the Braves came up empty tonight against Nationals pitching totaling only five hits. They were a combined 0-5 with runners in scoring position. Of their five hits on the night four of them came from Eric Hinske and Melky Cabrera. Chipper Jones collected the only other Braves hit. Batista pitched five innings of shut out baseball in his first start since the 2008 season when he was pitching for the Seattle Mariners. Sean Burnett, Drew Storen, and Matt Capps combined for four more shut out innings with Capps recording his 25th save of the season.
More after the jump……………………………………..
Overall it was a stinker of a night which seemingly started with the let down of the Strasburg injury. Perhaps the Braves relaxed after they learned that Strasburg wouldn't be taking the hill. At any rate, the lead in the National League East is down to 4 games and the Philadelphia Phillies are red hot having won five in a row. This Braves team has been resilient all season long while usually bouncing back from disappointing performances with a victory the next day. Now would be a great time for one of those turnarounds.
In roster related news it appears that Melky Cabrera is now the every day Center Fielder at least in the short term. We will see if the Braves bring back Gregor Blanco from Gwinnett as soon as he is eligible to return as he could steal some at bats and playing time from Cabrera. At any rate it has to be an improvement on what the Braves were getting from Nate McLouth which was just about nothing. Give credit to McLouth for handling his demotion the right way as he recognizes his struggles and the position that the Braves are in:
"Of course nobody wants to get sent down," McLouth said. "But I'm going to use it what it's meant to be for and that's to go down and work and get my swing back to where it needs to be and not feel sorry for myself or be disappointed or mad or anything like that."
We will also be watching to see if this mini swoon offensively causes General Manager Frank Wren to make a move before Saturday's trade dead line. We have discussed the pros and cons of a trade at length this week without a real clear cut option to get behind. While it is important that the Braves get themselves headed back in the right direction, this still doesn't appear to be the time to panic into a move that might hurt the team down the road.
Pitcher Jonny Venters had his appeal heard today by MLB Executive Vice President John McHale today and the Braves expect a decision to be delivered in the next day or two.
The Braves are back at it tomorrow night and there really isn't anyone they need on the mound more than tomorrow night's pitcher Tim Hudson. Huddy has been the stopper all season and perhaps he can rally up a few timely hits from his teammates in the process. The Nationals will counter with Livan Hernandez who is also having an outstanding season statistically. Should be a great match up with the first pitch scheduled at 7:05 pm ET.

Dear churches,
The Advocate is working on a story about how local churches serve people with special needs. If your church does something noteworthy to serve people with special needs, can you please email us no later than 6/20 with details on what you do, as well as a quote by a pastor or ministry coordinator about why it is important to your church to serve this population? If you have a particular touching story of a person or family who has been helped at your church through this ministry, we'd love that, too.
Please email them to our summer editorial intern, Ariel Gilreath, by 6/20 at email@example.com.

Charles Ramsey -- the Cleveland man who helped free 3 missing women -- is the best kind of hero ... the kind that saves lives, and makes you laugh your ass off.
Check out TMZ on TV -- click here to see your local listings!
He really seems like he should be the husband of the "Ain't nobody got time for that" woman.
Already auto-tuned on youtube.
totally enjoyed watching him. As my husband says " He just saved those women, he can say whatever he wants to say". I can see an SNL spoof coming!
"I'm lovin' it!"
a whole day LATE tmz
Looter Guy
I love this guy....honest, funny, not afraid.
Charlie Murphy?!?
McDonalds needs to get this guy under contract pronto! He is awesome.
The 911 call he made was even better!
More people should be like him and take action when they see things that don't seem quite right.
There should be more people like him in America. People that are willing to get involved and help someone who is in trouble. I wish him well in life, and since he likes McDonald's, they need to give him a Big Mac a day for life!
I've heard him on the news--he is a hero and he is extremely funny--love the guy!
Starting today, let's all assume that our neighbors are holding prisoners in their basement until proven otherwise.

The Race Committee can't call you over the line if they can't see you. At least that's what distinctive Italian Melges 32 owner Filippo Pacinotti seems to be going for with this all-new naval camouflage look for an all-new Melges 32. Check out the new Brontolo (Italian for 'Grumpy' and a reference to its owners shared features with the Snow White character) and thanks to Marco Perazzo for the photo. The new boat even comes with a new iPhone cover; check this shit out!

The Melges 32 2014 sailing season has arrived, and the class seems to have begun its rebound from the record low turnout this winter and a cancelled Gold Cup last fall. Video stud and reigning world champ mastman Petey Crawford checks in:
With head ARGOnaut Jason Carroll taking the reigns as Class President it's a strong bet that the fleet will again find the golden fleece. Miami is host to the spring event in a few short weeks time as well as hosting the Gold Cup and the World Championship later in the year, and 3 more Melges 32 sanctioned regattas take place this summer in Newport including the US National Championship. With new blood in the fleet and some familiar faces from years past, it appears that the 32 class isn't ready to lay down just yet. Still feeling the effects of my car vs. bike episode in Key West earlier this year, I sat out the Miami Winter regatta and produced the first of what will be a series of videos targeted to keep stoking the flames. Stay tuned.
March 18th, 2014 by admin
Melges 32 World Champ and videographer extraordinaire Petey Crawford checks in with this report from Fort Lauderdale and the entry-challenged US Melges 32 fleet. It's good to see that there's still some humor and fun in a class that's been decimated by escalating costs and poor class management.
Fort Lauderdale's Melges 32 Gold Cup was the annual regatta that really launched the M32 Class. Run for years out of a parking lot at the Bahia Mar with a decidedly relaxed and amateur attitude and sailed in classic South Florida wave and trade winds, it was widely regarded as one of the annual calendar's most reliably good events. And this year, it was cancelled for lack of interest. Add that to the cancelled National Championship in Harbor Springs, and you have to scratch your head; what is going on with one of the world's few remaining Grand Prix fleets? Was the NorthAm fleet just taking the year off after a pricy, tough 2012 Newport Worlds? Or is something else going on?
Whatever the reason, I have a 'hard time' understanding why we weren't racing in classic Fort Lauderdale conditions. Wait…I was actually racing in those conditions, but only because 2013 M32 World Champ Jason Carroll had earlier decided that, no matter what the class was doing, Team ARGO would be there to represent.
So, despite the Gold Cup cancellation, The 2013 Team ARGO "Dust Bowl" went off with A-Argo, B-Argo (pronounced BAR-GO), and the boys and girls of the Devos family's Delta. We had our usual crew with the sole addition of Charlie Ogletree, who replaced a busy Cam Appleton (busy winning his 3rd straight RC-44 season championship). The Bargo was another story, a motley bunch of past Argonauts: Chad Corning, Danny Pletsch, Julie Howe, Brian Fox, Clay Bischoff, John Baxter, and Patrick Mauro. With additional help from Sam "Rasheed" Rogers, and Charlie Smythe, this bunch came to play with a big attitude and a chip on their shoulders. DELTA was its normal top notch crew, but with guest skipper and rock star amateur Brian Hill gladly stepping onto this top-notch program to drive the bus. Rounding out the group was Anderson Reggio as PRO, Matt Knowles as the Match Racing Umpire, and El Grande, Dave and Buzz who served as the OTW support crew.
As would befit such an informal bunch, the format was simple: 2 days of racing, mixed up between match racing round robins and fleet racing, and all I have to say about the first day is 'dust bowl indeed'. Even the 10 AM dock out was a bit aggressive considering our combined 'dustiness', and much of the crew of both ARGO boats were, let's say, wounded. As we entered the box for the first match against BAR-GO, it became clear that Jason hadn't match raced much. Charlie looked at Jase and said "perhaps we should have had this chat yesterday, or at least on the sail out." A wave of laughter went across the deck as we picked up our first penalty for an early entry. BAR-GO didn't need any more than that to smoke us in the first race, getting a big enough lead to add a drinking penalty to ARGO's score by completing their own spin before the finish. Ouch. BARGO clearly came to play, and they easily beat Delta to sit on 2-0. We knocked Delta down and got our first point, but next up was a two-lap fleet race — something we're quite good at — and we won that one. Back to match racing, though things got sort of fuzzy, memory-wise, and I do vaguely remember getting better as the day wore on, dropping two drinking penalties on BAR-GO compared to the one we copped, and we led the day, followed by the B's and then the D's. Penalties were exonerated on the dock promptly upon landing, and they didn't cancel out. We won that battle, too.
A massive group dinner that night at Steak 954 got the ball rolling pretty good; Sam and the restaurant staff even granted me a fake birthday. Sorry to all of you that thought it was actually my birthday, but blame Sam, not me.
Day 2 dawned and somehow I think most everyone felt better than on day 1, we actually felt dusty as opposed to downright filthy. Same set up; match racing followed by fleet racing, after it was all said and done, it was a 3-way tie going into the final race, a fleet race to crown the first ever King of the Dust Bowl. Clearly Delta cheated by feeling better than we all did and easily schooled us to take the win, and the chip carrying BAR-GO got the best of us and took second, but hey we still got a podium spot! All jokes aside, Delta sailed great on the final day and deserved the Crown.
All in all, while it was a shame that nobody else came to play, we had an amazing, competitive, and very enjoyable weekend of racing in classic Lauderdale conditions: big waves, and big breeze. We all really hope things are headed in the right direction for the M32 Class, with some changes coming down the pike including a scheduled 2014 Winter Circuit, Miami getting some traction, and summer in Newport. It's one of the most exciting production raceboats ever built, and we're looking to show the world that the Melges 32 is still at the very top of the heap when it comes to great one-design action.
Petey Out.

Jason Carroll's 5-year journey to win the Melges 32 World Championship is over, and a huge congratulations to the party-loving anarchists aboard the good ship Argo on a brilliant performance in the world's toughest owner/driver fleet. We'll have a more detailed report from one of the war horses aboard later this week, but one thing is for certain in the M32 Class – if you want to win a Worlds, you start with Morgan Reeser as your coach. Joy Dunigan photo with a bit of freaky editing by Clean to make it a little more like the movie poster the shot brings to mind. More shots here, and check out more great work from Argo mastman Petey Crawford starting tomorrow as live video producer (and shooter/editor/a dozen other jobs) at the Little Cup.
UPDATE: Coach Reeser lays out his 'roadmap to success' and a word or two about the Argo program, from somewhere over the Atlantic in a very large non-commercial jet. Rough life, Morg!
The Argo Worlds was a pleasure to be involved with as they deserved a World Championship in '11 and '12! I'm so thrilled that they go it this time. They are a great team that needed to realize how good they were and what was required win a Worlds.
1) Average first mark rounding (top 30%)
2) Always passing boats after mark 1.
3) Save your drop race for the final fleet race
Team Argo had more fun than anyone else at the event (ie. they did not change what they normally did just because it was the Worlds!)
A great team, a great class, and a great boat to sail with so many other fantastic owners and their teams.
I can't wait till Miami 2014!

Update: Argo (fuck yourself) has taken a nice little 6 point lead after 4 races…
Richard Goransson's Inga From Sweden is off to a good start at the Melges 32 Worlds even if the week isn't. A nasty Mistral has seen two of the first four days shortened or cancelled with winds recorded up to 74 knots. Below is the report from Inga trimmer Richard Mason's report after a single race yesterday, and the video is above. UPDATE: Argo leads after three more races today…latest results here and you can watch the Worlds streaming live on the Melges website here.
With no racing yesterday the pressure was on to get racing underway today. The forecast was for the breeze to start the day at 25knots plus and drop from there. Racing got underway on time at 11.00, with the wind gusting up to 30 knots.
The first race was a survival test. Just keep it cool and don't make the mistakes. Race one proved to be a big payoff for Helly Hansen Inga from Sweden, for the time we have spent on the water over the past year getting to grips with this tricky, overpowered boat.
The first race in the 2013 saw us starting at the pin with Team Argo winning the start a half boatlength to weather. A long port tack in building breeze saw us on the left side of the track. We were third around the first top mark, with it all on for the run. We managed to survive a couple of on-the-edge gybes to make it around the bottom mark in 2nd hot on the tail of Bombarda Racing. Looking back upwind at the fleet there were some major wipeouts, with quite a bit of damage to the fleet on the first run.
Bombarda Racing lead up the second beat showing some serious speed on the wind, and led around the top mark with us about 20 seconds back. A wild second run followed, and the deciding maneuver for the race was the final gybe, just 200 meters from the finish. Bombarda missed theirs while we thankfully nailed ours, and that was the race.
So a great start for the Helly Hansen Inga form Sweden team. An attempt was made at a second race, but the breeze was gusting over 34 knots, which saw the fleet return to the dock, postponing racing for the day. It is going to be a long 3 days! The pressure is on to keep the consistency in the results required to stay at the top of this fantastic fleet.
We look forward to getting back on the race track tomorrow.
-Richard & The Helly Hansen Inga from Sweden Team.

With the Sec General of the IODA demanding answers and more facts coming to light over the Opti dodge 'em in Lake Garda, we were glad to see Brontolo skipper Filippo Pacinotti issue a public apology last night for his actions on the lake. An unapologetic Marco De Antonio from Bribon gives a more defensive take on it and bitches about "an American blog" here. But most laudable is the no-nonsense statement from Melges and the M32 Class. From Class Prez Hank Stuart to the IODA and the world:
Thank you for your note expressing deep concern over the incident on Lake Garda this past weekend. Rest assure that the International Melges 32 Class Association (IM32CA) was equally upset by the video footage of the two Melges 32s racing through the Opti fleet on Saturday afternoon.
Needless to say, this footage has prompted us to proactively investigate further the actions of many including, but not limited to the Yacht Clubs (Circolo Vela Torbole and Fraglia Vela Riva), both event PROs, the members of the International Jury as well as all Melges 32 teams present.
Our findings thus far have revealed unfortunate circumstances in which were truly beyond our control. For example, despite our numerous complaints that specifically addressed safety if the race courses overlapped was completely ignored on multiple occasions. Additional concerns were also voiced by many of our owners as well as sponsor representatives, and they too were disregarded as unimportant.
Looking to the incident, the two teams highlighted in the video chose to navigate, what we now know was a dangerous path to the leeward gate. This combined with what we perceive as poor decision making in regards to where races were ran was where we have found the problem to be.
We realize that a higher level of situational awareness and a more conservative approach should have been exercised by several of the Melges 32 teams, honoring and giving right of way considering the breezy conditions. Do know that many of the competing teams did just that.
Since the incident, please know that both teams featured in the video have already, very sincerely issued public apologies regarding their actions on Facebook and through other media sources. We believe this is a step in the right direction on their part. The IM32CA is also reviewing internally what other measures may be taken to further correct the situation and prevent it from ever happening again.
We will be publishing their apologies along with this letter online at melges32.com.
You also mentioned that there were Melges 32 owners or crew that possibly spoke in disrespect to some of the young Opti sailors. Please know through our process to get to the bottom of just what exactly happened, we have not heard anything regarding this at all. Considering the caliber and league of sailor commonly found on a Melges 32, such behavior is highly unacceptable.
As we move forward, we hope that we can work with you collectively in resolving this matter peacefully and respectfully. All of our owners are regular contributors to youth foundations and sailing programs, and we know how important it is to emphasize the value of youth sailing and support the future of our sport. This is something that we hold with the highest regard.
We agree that best next step for our class' is to file a joint report to ISAF in accordance with rule 69.3 to see if any Melges 32 team breached rule 69.1(a) and that under The Racing Rules of Sailing, ISAF has the ability and authority to review this matter properly.
Kind regards,
Hank Stuart, President
International Melges 32 Class Association (IM32CA)

Is there anyone with a brain still defending the boneheaded moves by the Melges 32 Torbole fleet as they slashed and burned their way through the Optimist Pre-Worlds on Lake Garda this past weekend?
Yes, we know it was the last event in the prestigious Audi series. We realize the cliffs over there have a sweet acceleration and 5 knots more breeze, and that was the fastest way to the mark. We know no one got hurt or protested. We can see they might have made it through without incident but for a puff or two. We understand that Lake Garda can get crowded. We realize your PRO could have re-set, abandoned, or finished when he saw the M32 fleet going through the Optis upwind. We even understand the power struggle, dick-swinging machismo, and terrible communication level between the Circolo Vela Torbole (M32 Host) and the Fraglia Vela Riva (Opti hosts).
And you know what? None of that fucking matters.
Video, photo, and eyewitness reports all prove that the Melgi forced Optis to alter course all over the place. At least one Opti had his burgee snapped off by your kites. A couple more knots of breeze or a tiny bit more bad luck and it could have been a very, very bad day for sailing in Italy and the world. Yet there were no exoneration turns, no apologies, not even an acknowledgment of what happened anywhere.
We're told that some of the IODA folks have forwarded the matter up the food chain, and our understanding is that, while ISAF could institute Rule 69 proceedings, the FIV would be the most likely group to discipline the M32.
Raise your hand if you think that Italy is going to discipline some of Italy's top M32 racers.
Photo from French coach "Seb" scavenged from the thread; already hundreds of posts and plenty of discussion on this hot topic here.

Clean Report
For the first year ever, the 100+ boat San Juan Yacht Club's 12th International Regatta has added a handicap big boat section, and local sailing cheerleader Jaime Torres has a new Smile and Wave in his stable to go and beat up on the local boats. Then again, he's got me trimming front sails, and other than long time Melges ace Marty Kullman as our pro, the crew is entirely made up of amateur Puerto Ricans, so this ain't a 'victory-at-all-costs' program; it's all about having a good time and helping to grow Puerto Rican sailing, and that means fun.
You can check out the entry list here, and check the front page for photos and results. SnW's Facebook page will have some more info as well. I'll be sailing the whole Caribbean season with the team from PR, including 3 one-design Melges 32 events. Good stories guaranteed!

Mike Nichols' controversial film about Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman, in his film debut), a recently out of college lost-soul who begins an affair with his parent's friend, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), just out of boredom. The affair allows him to procrastinate on other important decisions like graduate school and/or getting a job, much to his parents' chagrin. More problems occur when he falls in love with the Robinsons' daughter, Elaine (Katherine Ross). This film did as much for the 1960's rebellion as it did for both the careers of Simon and Garfunkel and Mike Nichols, who earned an Oscar for his cutting edge direction.
Posts Tagged: Mike Nichols
This is one funny film. It is not exactly politically correct and it is also not a perfect film (I just don't like the son's character) but all-in-all, it will make you laugh (most likely). A remake of La Cage Aux Folles, here director Mike Nichols weaves a comic web of intrigue, bawdiness, love, sex and scandal…all set in South Beach, Miami…one of the playgrounds of the world. Even though there is a great cast here including Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest, Robin Williams and Nathan Lane steal the show as gay lovers who own, manage (Williams) and perform in (Lane) a South Beach nightclub. Enter Hackman and Wiest as ultra-conservative parents of young lady who wants to marry Williams' son. The fact that Hackman is a Republican senator involved in a sex scandal is not helping him feel more charitable. What happens? Well, you just have to watch and find out. But, I warn you, get your funny bone tuned!

When Isabelle Goetz was still a child in France, the salon that now bears her name was already a Washington institution. For more than four decades, the M Street address has housed salons of distinction where the city's most sought-after stylists serve its most fashionable citizens. Today at Isabelle's Okyo Salon, Isabelle honors that tradition as she reinvents it, with the energy and artistry that are her trademarks.
Raised in the town of Belfort near the French-German border, Isabelle began cutting hair at age 15. "From my hometown, just going to Paris was a big trip," she says. But her talent and ambition took her to the Paris Hair Show, where she caught the attention of a noted American salon owner. He recruited Isabelle to come to work in his Washington, D.C., salon; at 21, she moved to the United States, which she has claimed as her second home.
Over the next decade and a half, Isabelle worked with some of the industry's top talents. Passionate about her craft and attuned to her clients, Isabelle earned a loyal following among political, media and society figures including Senator John Kerry, ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman and Queen Rania of Jordan. In 1999, Isabelle began working with then-First Lady Hillary Clinton; Secretary of State Clinton remains a client today. In 2010, Women's Wear Daily dubbed Isabelle "Washington's leading celebrity stylist."
In summer 2010, Isabelle realized her longtime dream of buying her own shop. Putting her stamp on this Georgetown landmark meant giving it her name, refreshing the décor and adding new talent to the veteran staff. Now at Isabelle's Okyo Salon, "We feel like we have it all," she says. "A fantastic team of people who are passionate about their work, a great location -– and incredible clients!"

There is a difference, yet there is no opposition. The child's innocence is really poor, because it is almost synonymous with ignorance. The old man, ripe in age, who has passed through all the experiences of darkness and light, of love and hate, of joy and misery, who has been matured through life in different situations, has come to a point where he is no more a participant in any experience. Misery comes.he watches. Happiness comes and he watches. He has become a watcher on the hill. Everything passes down in the dark valleys, but he remains on the sunlit peak of the mountain, simply watching in utter silence.
The innocence of old age is rich. It is rich from experience; it is rich from failures, from successes; it is rich from right actions, from wrong actions; it is rich from all the failures, from all the successes; it is rich multidimensionally. Its innocence cannot be synonymous with ignorance. Its innocence can only be synonymous with wisdom.
Both are innocent, the child and the old man. But their innocences have a qualitative change, a qualitative difference. The child is innocent because he has not entered yet into the dark night of the soul; the old man is innocent - he has come out of the tunnel. One is entering into the tunnel; the other is getting out of the tunnel. One is going to suffer much; one has already suffered enough. One cannot avoid the hell that is ahead of him; the other has left the hell behind him.
Devageet, your question is the question of almost every human being. Knowingly or unknowingly, there is a trembling in the heart that you are becoming old, that after old age the deluge - after old age, death. And for centuries you have been made so much afraid of death that the very idea has become deep-rooted in your unconscious; it has gone deep in your blood, in your bones, in your marrow. The very word frightens you - not that you know what death is, but just because of thousands of years of conditioning that death is the end of your life, you are afraid.
I want you to be absolutely aware that death is not the end. In existence, nothing begins and nothing ends. Just look all around.the evening is not the end, nor is the morning the beginning. The morning is moving towards the evening and the evening is moving towards the morning. Everything is simply moving into different forms.
There is no beginning and there is no end.
Why should it be otherwise with man? - man is not an exception. In this idea of being exceptional, in being more special than the other animals and the trees and the birds, man has created his own hell, his paranoia. The idea that we are exceptional beings, we are human beings, has created a rift between you and existence. That rift causes all your fears and your misery, causes unnecessary anguish and angst in you.
And all your so-called leaders, whether religious or political or social, have emphasized the rift; they have widened it. There has not been a single effort in the whole history of man to bridge the rift, to bring man back to the earth, to bring man back with the animals and with the birds and with the trees, and to declare an absolute unity with existence.
