Everyone agrees that EMII’s stunning performance to wrap up the gorgeous Marina Del Rey, California evening was just the perfect topping on an already delicious and unforgettable celebration. By the way, just in case you’ve not yet heard EMII sing, here’s a sneak peak at her recent HIT, MR. ROMEO performed with Snoop Dog! http://youtu.be/4uC2A33M1fU Now, you understand why we were all so WOWED at our Premiere event!  Stay tuned, EMII has more hits on the way.  This BEAUTIFUL TALENT has absolute staying power!!!  Thank you EMII for infusing our event with beautiful music and excitement!

SAPORI also did not disappoint.

Italian native owner, Stefano Baccianella, designed a very special Italian dining experience that is reminiscent of our own ESCAPESEEKER culinary features as seen in the upcoming episodes of LA DOLCE VITA.  The taste of Venice, Florence, Bologna and Rome all combined into one magical dining celebration!

This charming scenic restaurant combines character and beauty with an exquisite ESCAPESEEKER menu that promised to transport us to a seaside village in Italy.  Paired with our own beautiful California sunset…and the special presence of our VIP ESCAPESEEKER FRIENDS provided the perfect setting for all of us to immerse in all things Italian.

What more can we say…

E ‘tempo di celebrare la vita … la vita ESAPESEEKER.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT WAS OUR TURN TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR AMAZING ESCAPESEEKER JOURNEY!

BE SURE TO STAY TUNED TODAY ON PBS SoCAL at 2:00 PM!
