The Verizon Ampitheatre is boasting a symphonic concert featuring the music of Holst’s “The Planets”.

Enjoy some music in Orange County that’s truly out of this world when you attend The Planets, playing at nearby Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on July 13.

The galaxy itself inspired this dramatic suite which has served as theme music for video games and movies. A backdrop of breathtaking scenes from outer space adds to the heavenly ambiance. Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5 kicks off the show, with both pieces performed by 19-year-old violin virtuoso Caroline Goulding.

Gates open at 6 pm for this 8 pm show. Food and beverage is allowed inside, so make an evening of it with a pre-concert picnic. For added convenience, gourmet dinner boxes are available for ordering when you purchase your tickets. Your meals will be ready for pick-up at the front gate when you arrive.

Here are some great tips to help make your grilling simple and easy and outstanding this Father’s Day.

Your dad works hard all year. Let him know that he is appreciated by cooking him some perfectly grilled steaks using these three simple tips and have a great Irvine Father’s Day at our apartment community.

  • Choose your meat. For grilled steaks, which are cooked very quickly, you want to choose a cut that is naturally tender. For a beautiful, juicy steak that requires little additional seasoning, opt for a ribeye or tenderloin. Try to choose steaks that have plenty of marbling to ensure that they will be bursting with flavor.
  • Throw it on the grill. Liberally season your steak with salt and pepper. If your steaks are on the thicker side, you will want your grate to be three to six inches from the heat. Make sure that the grill is nice and hot to create a good sear on the outside and your desired doneness inside.
  • Rest and enjoy. Although it may be difficult to resist, once you have removed the meat, allow it to rest for ten minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute so they won’t be lost when you cut it open.

What is your favorite steak recipe? Let us know in the comments!

The Nature Conservancy is a great resource for anyone looking to “live greener” and to calculate their “carbon footprint”.

How do your eating and travel habits affect the environment? Use this helpful tool to find out!

The Nature Conservancy has developed a carbon footprint calculator to help individuals understand the impact that their everyday activities have on the environment. Answer a few simple questions about where you live, how you get around, what you eat, and if you recycle to discover how many tons of CO2 emission you contribute each year.

How can you lower your number? Choosing our luxury Westpark, Irvine apartments is a good first step. We work hard to implement eco-friendly plans in our apartments. You can also make greener choices everyday. Walk to work instead of driving or consider telecommuting, if your job allows. Use refillable mugs rather than disposable coffee cups and purchase locally grown food. Each small change you make can lower your carbon footprint and help protect the environment!

Irvine Lake is one of the best campsites found around your Irvine luxury apartment community.

Do you know that June is National Camping Month? What a perfect time to explore Irvine Lake, only a short drive from our Irvine apartments.

At the bottom of rocky cliffs — right in the midst of the bustle of Orange County — lies the man-made, 750 acre lake stocked with large-mouth bass, trout, catfish and panfish. A perfect place to take the family to get away from it all without going too far away, camping is available from June through October on Wednesdays through Sundays for only $25 a night for a four-person campsite. Amenities include restrooms with hot showers, picnic areas, tackle shop, cafe and a children’s play area. Dogs are permitted, on-leash and accompanied at all times, for $5 per dog per day. A fishing license is not needed, but a $22 daily fishing fee is charged for adults, $11 for children 4 – 11 and $19 for seniors 62+.

Take advantage of the pristine beauty of Irvine Lake just a short drive from our Calypso apartment community by reserving a camp site this summer!

Paradise Perks is one of the best cafes and coffeehouses found around your Irvine luxury apartment community.

In Irvine, live music is the perfect side to a great cup of coffee. Check out the acts every Friday and Saturday night at Paradise Perks.

The warm, intimate ambiance of the cafe, a quick 10 minute drive from our Calypso apartment community, provides an ideal atmosphere to settle in with a cappuccino and listen to the evening’s music. Anything from folk to rock to jazz could be on the menu, so drop in frequently and expand your musical horizons.

Comedy takes over on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, with one hour of open mic and an additional hour of featured performers. Wednesdays are a total grab bag when the stage is open for poetry, music, comedy, or anything else an artist would like to share with the audience. Be sure to like their Facebook page for up-to-the-minute scheduling information.

The Orange County Public Library currently boasts a stout collection of eBooks and other digital media in addition to their standard collection.

eReaders make it easier than ever to be a “green” bookworm. With the Orange County Library eBooks collection, its wide variety of titles is only a few clicks away!

To get started, simply download the OverDrive software from the library’s website and you’re ready to go. If you prefer, attend one of the open houses where you can get hands-on instruction or try out one of their eReaders before purchasing one of your own.

The library’s ever-growing collection includes thousands of titles in both fiction and non-fiction that have the same three-week checkout period as hard-copy books. When the loan expires, the book is automatically “returned” so you don’t need to worry about tracking due dates. If your selection is currently unavailable, add it to your wish list for future checkouts.

Do you use the Orange County Library eBooks collection? What good book have you read recently? Please share your answer with our Irvine apartment community in the comments!
