-Coffee/Brunch
-Try on shoes
-Get in line
-Event starts
-Get stuff autographed
-Visit boutique
-Go to Happy Hour...![]()
I think that would be a great time frame! Is there anyone who wants to be in charge of organizing this meet!? I totally would but I'm currently booked for the next three weeks with my thesis writing and law school apps! I could help after though... and it would still be a week before!Probably 10-10:30am for me, after morning traffic rush. I'm not around that area much, so I'm looking to browse a few places, etc.
Maybe a designated cafe/eatery to meet at would be nice, for those of us who would like to grab some food before.
OHHHH I love Toast!! The food is really good there and it's such a cute brunch place!ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!! this sounds like the perfect itinerary!!!
ps. Have you ever been to Toast? Its been a while for me, but I remember it being so yum!

They didnt allow it in NYC Saks. Every place is different, so bring/wear a pair.Thanks for the tip Stinas! Are we allowed to bring others for him to sign?
yes, go early. By the time I got up to him we were only allowed 1 pair.xnplo, at the Saks event in NY you could only have 2 pairs, bought that day at the store (at the event), signed. They didn't have a limit at first, but they set one when the line and wait time was getting ridiculously long.
Go early. It was crazy last time. I went about an hour after it started & everyone was like vultures.Hmmmm I wonder what the rules will be at this event at Barney's because the one I went to at NM Scottsdale (two or three days after the Saks NYC event in Feb) the rules were less strict. I did buy declics, but I brought my HGs the Electric blue suede rolandos with me and he signed both!
BUT I was fourth in line to see him... I just suggest getting there early enough so that you can be in the front because I think that once Barney's realizes how crazy it can get, they will start limiting what can be done to accommodate as many people as possible. (as mentioned by RJD)
ps I think we should start organizing something for this event! Im 90% positive I will be making an LA trip that week for this event... but I will be 100% if we want to organize something fun! Who's in!?![]()
Well I got there about an hour before, and there were already a few ladies there getting smashed on the champagne and trying on shoes like crazy!! About 20 mintues before it officially started, people were rolling in... 5 minutes to go and the line was busy and then NM suddenly filled up out of nowhere! I was actually surprised I was able to get such a great spot in line because this event was held on a saturday @ 2pm on a day when everyones at the mall and most have off! But i have a feeling that LA will be much busier... I'd like to get there a couple hours early so I can try my shoes and not have issue, kwim!?quote]
lol That was me! hahaha
Thats BS because when I talked to the SA at the Saks signing he said they were going crazy the night before because of the huge shipment they got. I dont think they find out until it comes or they just dont say anything. Three is no way they dont stock up. Imagine a couple hundred people wanting these shoes & them having a small stock. It would be crazy.so i just called barneys bh and they said they arent getting any new stuff before the cl meet. Thats weird eh?
OHHHH I love Toast!! The food is really good there and it's such a cute brunch place!
I could help organize it..what do I need to do though?![]()
Never been to Toast, but it sounds good already.
Good question... what would be involved? Maybe you'll be the picture keeper and ID us as we arrive.![]()

I think getting a head count for a reservation (at some place TBD/ TOAST) the directions to the spot so that no one gets lost and maybe sending out the "itinerary" (that includes some happy hour spots nearby/ maybe parking- idk how tough parking is in the hills) just basically doing what you think would be best, I guess![]()
xnplo: maybe you and I could split some of these responsibilities. I'm familiar with toast and the parking etc so I could do that but happy hour I'm not too sure what's around there, do you know? The only places I know would be in Hollywood but parking may be a bit of a pain unless there's valet<-----

If you left between 10-10:30 traffic should be clear by then..any later and you'll hit noontime traffic.Hmm. We should first pick a place to have brunch at? I'm coming from the OC so I don't want to hit traffic on the way up :/ what time is good for that?
Sounds good!I'm up for it...I'm not too familiar, but I can certainly survey some friends and do some research.
*** Please PM me your email address if you're in for May 8th. ***
I'll email everyone once I get some ideas together and perhaps we can even vote on a happy hour place.
NOONTIME TRAFFIC!?If you left between 10-10:30 traffic should be clear by then..any later and you'll hit noontime traffic.
Sounds good!so maybe for those that want to meet for brunch we could do like 11 or 11:30am?
I wish I was off to meet you socal ladies! Your itinerary sounds fun.
