  • SATURDAY AT THE NEWPORT BEACH FILM FEST

    2:30 p.m.: Arrive at Fashion Island, having gotten the proper directions this time, and only had to make one drastic, corrective U-turn. Find the courtesy lounge. Marvel at the array of free brownies and donuts. Despair that there is no free booze...and considering the lounge closes at 6, there probably won't be. 2:45 p.m.: Have lunch at Wahoo's Fish Tacos -- "wet" burrito with green sauce.
