How do you get invited? Thu May 22 00:21:39 -0700 2003 0 Kate Duncan 1 94269 It's a PR deal for his new book "the Apprentice". I don't know how you get invited. Call one of the restaurants Thu May 22 00:27:54 -0700 2003 94268 0 Bill Work 2 94290 I received an invitiation from KQED for this gig. There are three events--a dinner at Left Bank in Larkspur on June 8 and a lecture beforehand where Jacques discusses his new book. These events are fundraisers for KQED so they are pricey. There is also a dinner at La Folie on June 9 and Viognier on June 10. I am going to check out the Sunday event at Left Bank. It's called "paint left bank rouge" and everyone is supposed to wear red and guzzle champagne. The kqed telephone number is 415 553-2113 Thu May 22 09:42:09 -0700 2003 94269 0 Mayleman 3 94417 Thanks for the info on the event at Left Bank. It seems a bit pricey at $125 a head but it is for a good cause and the event sounds like a blast. I like that Mumm's is supplying the beverages.
