This year the event should be much better/cooler than before, because they are completely overhauling the way it is setup and who will be there.  I&#8217;m excited to attend the event outside of all of the work we will be doing over the next month to help promote it.</p>
<p>The event will be held down on the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday September 13th and <a href="http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/kooza/default.aspx" target="_blank">Cirque Du Soleil&#8217;s new show &#8220;Kooza&#8221;</a> will also be sponsoring it.  It looks like they will have their performers down at the event mingling with the crowds and even offering some tickets to their full shows.</p>
<p>You can <a href="http://www.smchamber.com/tickets/register.php?event_ticketsView=Calendar&amp;event_ticketsMonth=9&amp;event_ticketsYear=2009&amp;event_ticketDatesID=272" target="_blank">purchase a ticket</a> to the event for $10 (only $5 for children between 2-10) and then &#8220;Taste Bucks&#8221; for additional food, beer, and wine from all the local restaurant booths.  This much lower entrance price should make it a lot easier to go down with friends and families and see and taste a lot of good stuff for a reasonable price compared to years past.  You can check out <a href="http://www.tasteofsantamonica.com" target="_blank">Taste of Santa Monica</a> to see the list and get tickets.</p>
<p>They are also mixing it up appealing to a younger crowd also by having an extended Live Music &amp; Sunset Happy Hour from 5-7pm, which I&#8217;m also happy about.  Anyways hope to see some of you there this year!</p>
<p>As for the Neptune Local side of it all, it should be another great case study for us, and we plan on using several different social &amp; internet marketing channels to get the word out.  We will do a full case study (hopefully on the success of the event <img src='http://www.neptunelocal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' title="Newer/Cooler Taste of Santa Monica" />  ) later to show some cool techniques we plan on using to increase awareness and ticket sales.</p>
