LOL – and after all my clarifications, I just won a slot to the PorterHouse event on Monday!

I guess I didn’t explain it right… it sounded cool to me. obviously not everybody can go to every event. some of them are special tastings hosted by the chefs themselves… but if given the choice between signing up, and having a chance to win cool stuff like that, and not signing up because I’m not *guaranteed* to win, i’ll choose signing up! (and i did…)

I’m not sure it actually works this way. For one thing, being a member of the Circle of Taste doesn’t grant you access to the “free” events – those are open to the public. It gets you some advance notice of these events, but they’ll be publicized on here way before anyway.

Second, the tastings you mention are ONLY if you win access to them via sweepstakes.

And the TWC can be a clusterf*&^ for these events…I recall the lines wrapping around and through themselves for the “taste of the TWC” festival over the summer…impolite staff, no organization.

One can always hope…
