Default Re: So I got to meet Jose "Pepin" Garcia

On further consideration, I should have paid the fifteen... But seeing as how when this event was posted, absolutely no menton was made of a cover charge, I wasen't really feeling paying fifteen dollars. My friend who was there (Wigwam) had a little righteous indignation thing going and was waiting in the parking lot, So I bought a Centaurian and just left.

Heres the photo. He didn't catch the hug as he was being told that we needed to pay fifteen a head immediately, but hey, I got a photo of me with Pepin!

I was at the Dana Point event (the night before) with Wigwam (Kumar), and there was no cover. David left a message on my phone regarding the issue. I have also spoke with Kumar as well. From what I have been told, the cover was a Zarka's issue. The night before I took a few pics with Pepin and he also signed several things for me. Pepin was very generous

I have not been on this forum for a while, so I did a little research on this.

David, you would have known about the $15 if you would have read Legends entire thread. Kumar already has issues with that establishment and I don't think he would have rolled if he knew about the cover. Live and learn.

At least you met Pepin. I'm sure it was worth it.

charging $$$ for an event seems kinda lame to me, unless they were doing giveaways or serving food/drinks.

glad you got to meet the big man though! that's pretty special.
