CHRIS TASTING TINA AS WE THINK
IS ONE OF THE MOST FESTIVE
NIGHTS OUT IN OUR MOST FABULOUS
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S A SELF GUIDED
SIFT SHOP AND BITES TOUR. SO
TICKET HOLDERS ARE ABLE TO GO
INTO MANY OF OUR RETAIL SHOPS
AND BARS, RESTAURANTS AND CAFES
AND NOT ONLY SAMPLE SOME GREAT
MARTINIS IN THE RETAIL SHOPS,
BUT ALSO SOME FOOD BITES AND
DRINKS THAT ARE ALSO OUR LOCAL
RESTAURANTS. PROCEEDS FROM
THE EVENT DO BENEFIT PROGRAMS TO
BEAUTIFY HILLCREST, WHICH AGAIN
WE THINK IS A VERY FABULOUS
NEIGHBORHOOD. WHAT DO YOU NEED
TO DO TO PARTICIPATE IN. YOU
JUST NEED TO BUY A TICKET HOME
FOR FABULOUS CHRIS DOT.COM FOR
30 DOLLARS. YOU GET A MISSION TO
THE EVENT WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A
PASSPORT TO GO TO THE STOPS. BUT
