April 7, 2009 (Alpine)—East County Magazine invites our readers to join us in a festive culinary experience—and the unmasking of our very own East County Eater restaurant reviewer. For the occasion, we’ve chosen one of our favorite spots: the Vine Wine Bar & Bistro in Alpine. The place is a cozy mountain retreat complete with lodge-like stone fireplace and a tree growing straight through the roof! Blues guitarist Paul Nichols has generously donated his services to entertain us—so we can offer you live music, wine tasting, a delicious array of food and a chance to win some great prizes—all for just $25! Help us make our first fundraiser a success-and support independent community journalism. Please reserve early—the more early-bird RSVPs, the more fun and surprises we can plan!

We’ve had 1.2 million hits to our website in our first 6 months—and we’re growing like wildfire. Now we need funds to cover our rapid growth and expand to continue bringing you the most in-depth coverage of East County events possible. In an era when newspapers are going out of business and cutting back, the future of journalism is in online media.

More Americans today get news online than from newspapers—and 60% of people under 30 get the majority of news on the Internet! Plus as a nonprofit media outlet, East County Magazine is not beholden to corporate interests, so we bring you truthful reporting—plus the best events and restaurants East County has to offer.

We’re hoping to make “On the Road With the East County Eater” a monthly event, each sharing a great restaurant with our readers. So help us make this a succeses! RSVP now to join in our merry-making and please, tell your friends!

Miriam Raftery, Editor
