On Saturday, September 25, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s 34th annual Monte Carlo gala will take place at its oceanfront La Jolla location. Event chairs Sheryl and Harvey White have selected this year’s theme — Monte Carlo Does Bond — and the museum’s galleries will be transformed into 007’s playground. Enjoy martinis, casino games, and worldly cuisine in a Diamonds Are Forever-themed dining room. The festivities will also feature live DJs, Bond girls and villains, desserts, and more. Proceeds will benefit MCASD’s education programs and exhibitions. For ticket information please contact Leslie Emery. (858/454-3541, ext. 143, www.mcasd.org)    JANE SHIOMI
