South Bay Din Din A Go Go @ Alpine Village Torrance Food Truck Meet and Eat 9/30/10

If anyone is near the South Bay (Los Angeles - Redondo Beach, Gardena, Torrance, Manhattan Beach etc) or anyone who wants to make the drive , my buds over at socalfjcruiserforums.com setup a meet and eat on Thursday, 9/30/10. I am a newb here but thought I would extend the invite to you all.

Info:

Food truck fans...lets meet up in Gardena for South Bay Din Din A Go Go @ Alpine Village in Torrance.
Date: Thursday September 30th 2010
Location: Alpine Village
Time: 6:30 - ???
Address: Alpine Village 833 W. Torrance Blvd, Torrance
Near the 110 freeway.

What is Din Din A Go Go??
The master-mind behind this weekly truck stop is Eric Nakata, who owns and operates the Lomo Arigato truck (Peruvian/Japanese fusion). The dinner crowd is the main focus for this stop and the fit is perfect. Families come out with lawn chairs and make it a picnic or tailgate style event. Its a great way to visit more than one truck as some folks will order their dinner, hang out and enjoy it, and then get some dessert before heading home.
There are an avergae of 6-8 trucks at the events held every Wed (Irivine) and Thurs (Gardena). Each location has 3-4 resident trucks that are there all the time. Lomo Arigato invites trucks (Vizzi, eatphamish, Buttermilk, NaNaQueens etc) that would not normally make it to these locations which the DDAGG fans appreciate it.
The place gets packed but I am sure we can all find spots near each other. Go to the event area which is located behind the Sketchers outlet and K1 to get our grub and either chill there or where we parked. Bring chairs or open your rear doors and chill ;)

Pics of event:
Early at K1 Gardena - notice the folks setting up already. No longer held at K1. Moved to Kmart lot (see above for address)
