Hello Back Bay Buddies, happy Friday!

Aaand just like that, it was mid September. We are just excited for the REDO vintage market and Young the Giant show at PacAmp, and the chance to finally get a parking spot on the Peninsula. We also tried the new Go Greek Yogurt off PCH and Riverside, and their imported greek and honey yogurt tasted like a day dream on a white washed patio overlooking the Aegean. For €12/bowl, we would expect nothing less.

To our new readers—welcome! The Back Bay Buzz delivers just the right amount of news and events for locals in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. No crime, no politics, no spam—just the good stuff. We scan newspapers, blogs, social media, business journals, and Google alerts so you don’t have to.

In today’s Buzz:

• REDO Vintage takes the Fairgrounds

• Harley Night (also Fairgrounds)

• Young the Giant plays at PacAmp

• Tijuana Dogs play at the Civic Green

• School for Scallywags

REDO Vintage Market Takes the Fairgrounds

We already wrote about the REDO Vintage market back in February, and we are glad it’s returned. Expect a bigger than expected haul of vintage, antique, and new goods you can’t find anywhere else (be sure to stop by Slightly Choppy and 15th St Surfshop). Be sure to tip the drink cart ladies, they just might just slip you a double mimo (they’re techically not supposed to).

Thanks! Please ignore any typos, our editor is sullen because the cashier at Go Greek called his yogurt toppings “a choice” (mochi balls, pomegranate seeds).
