Live (quiet) music, outdoor hotel lounge, plenty of space

Let's meet again for equinox (almost) when the days and nights are equally long...

This is at the lovely, upscale, and very welcoming Westin in Pasadena. What's new about them: they have a new chef, they cover our parking underground (validate with a bar purchase) and they have new live music.

No, they did NOT host ICE agents recently if that matters to you. In fact, Pasadena apparently sent out a statement that few, if any, of the local hotels did. I'm glad we are politically correct, but let's come out again now and enjoy the warmth, friendship, great drinks, and great vibes!

It'll be great! Come check it out again. I personally love big hotel bars... so nice and both professional and sensual. Bring friends!

As always: Buy something from the bar when you arrive or shortly thereafter. Tip the bartenders. Not many places welcome all of us! I will put out my usual request for $3 per person for my meetup fees, "pre-drinking" and eating at these places, etc. etc.
