FAQ
What's the dress code?
Beach by day, smart-casual by night, one fit upgrade for the main event. Think linen, good sneakers, a blazer that doesn't wrinkle. Bring one loud shirt.
How much should I budget?
$500 per person covers the house plus drinks, snacks, and meats at the house. Anything outside the house (bars, dinners, ride shares, the TJ trip) is on you.
Is Cody coming?
Cody is here in spirit, on the website, and in every group photo in our hearts. (Cody is not physically coming.)
What airport?
SAN · San Diego International. ~10 min from the house. Ride share or split an Uber XL from arrivals.
Can I arrive late / leave early?
Yes. Tell the chat so we don't schedule around ghosts. Flight info welcome.
What's the house situation?
Private rental in Sherman Heights. Couch spots first-come-first-served. Be a good houseguest or be a cautionary tale.
Dry day?
Sunday morning is informally a chill zone. Respect thy liver.
