Red Bandanna Stairhike

What would you do in the last hour of your life? Where would you be? Who would remember it? What would it look like? On September 11, 2001 Welles Crowder saved many lives in the South Tower of the World Trade Center, not once thinking about his own life! [The Man in the Red Bandanna ](https://youtu.be/S77KYbkmjwc?is=IK3M6J43m2w87vcL) The Power of the Red Bandanna. In 2014 the Boston College football team wore uniforms and helmets with a red bandanna design. They played and beat #9 USC on national TV! [Boston College Red Bandanna Night! ](https://youtu.be/WC36eqR1nxg?is=Sn2QQpy8NC6ZpuGi) Wearing a red bandanna on this stairhike is encouraged. RSVP limit is set to 40 people to honor the 40 heroes on Flight 93, the flight that fought back! Let’s Roll! Never Forget! One of the nicest thing anybody ever did for me- a very kind woman who did The Red Bandanna Stairhike, offered to place the red bandanna I had, on Welles name at the 9-11 Memorial in New York City! Then sent me a pic! The pic for this event! We will do 19 staircases around the Silver Lake Reservoir. 19 represents Welles’ jersey number. 17 going up, one going down, and one going up and down! 17 represents the number of floors Welles climbed up to rescue other people, after leading the first group of people to stairs that led them to elevators and evacuating the World Trade Center! About 8 miles. Start time 8am. Will start the stairhike at 8:05am Stairhike will take 3 hours. The middle part of the route is the most stair intensive. About 14 stairscase within 3 miles.

SEE THE OBSERVER’S TOP 10 LIST.** Ka’Teen is nestled in the heart of Hollywood next to the Tommie Hollywood / Hollywood VOLUME Hotel. **The meaning of Ka’Teen** The word **ka'teen** translates roughly to "afresh" or "new" in the Mayan language. The name was chosen to reflect a fresh, renewed take on traditional Yucatecan and Mayan culinary heritage and flavors. **KA'TEEN is a vibrant open-air restaurant and mezcal bar in Hollywood created by acclaimed Chef Wes Avila.** It transports diners to a lush tropical oasis serving modern takes on ancient Yucatán Peninsula cuisine. Ka’Teen brings a taste of Tulum to Hollywood with a Yucatan-forward menu and a 5,000-square-foot gorgeous bohemian patio. This tropical hideaway features rattan chandeliers, thatched ceilings and flourishing walls of greenery. While Ka’Teen pays tribute to the traditional flavors of the Yucatan, Avila is passionate about sourcing hand-picked ingredients from local farmers, yielding seasonal highlights that rotate regularly. **Atmosphere & Vibe** Designed as a huge stunning 5,000-square-foot lush outdoor jungle garden with dense greenery, dim lighting, and woven basket lanterns. **Entertainment starts at 10:00 PM (those who want to stay for the high energy vibe)** Ka’Teen is a clubby, Tulum-themed Hollywood destination, featuring late-night weekend energy, including specialty **DJ sets and Summer "Jungle Disco" events.** Known as a high-energy spot geared toward getting dressed up for a vibrant, loud, and trendy night out rather than a quiet culinary-focused dinner. Functions as a lively social hub for dinner, weekend brunch, and creative tequila or mezcal cocktails. **Note: After dinner those staying for Jungle Disco Fever will join the bar lounge seating area.** **Food & Specialties** Modern Yucatecan and coastal Mexican plates. Menu highlights include ceviches, guacamole, tacos, and large-format proteins. Creative, tequila- and mezcal-forward cocktail list. Dishes highlight regional Mexican flavors with items like Cochinita Pibil (braised pork) and fresh ceviches. **Tacos & Entrees** Offers rotating taco selections, whole grilled fish, and hearty plates made with seasonal California ingredients. **Chef Wes Avila** An icon of the Los Angeles food scene, Chef Wes Avila began his career with stints at L'Auberge, Marché and Le Comptoir. He is best known for the meteoric rise of Guerilla Tacos, which he started as an experimental street cart. The cart eventually became a roving food truck, and subsequently, an award-winning brick and mortar restaurant in Los Angeles’ Arts District. In fall 2020, Avila opened Angry Egret Dinette, a genre-bending ode to Los Angeles’ street food culture located in Chinatown’s Mandarin Plaza. **Long revered for his distinct culinary perspective, Avila has received recognition from the Michelin Guide and the James Beard Foundation for his nuanced blend of regional California and Mexican cuisine.** **He now only operates his very popular Hollywood Hot Spot- Ka’Teen.** **RESERVE YOUR DINING SPOT** $5 RSVP PayPal, Venmo or Zelle (NOT if waitlisted).
