11:01 pm
a fun event. but as abc seven news reporter ryan curry tells us, attendees are upset and feeling ripped off. >> reporter it was no festival for these people as they waited in a long line that led to disappointment. >> it was probably like almost an hour in line. they literally have like one person checking tickets at the front door, which is like insane. they were like, i don't even know, like, oh, probably over a thousand people that were just like waiting in line. >> matt jenkins and his fiance willa bought two tickets for saturday's west coast taco and beer festival at the midway. each ticket was $50, and on it showed a list of all the things included. what they found was not even close to what they thought. >> tasting hours 2 to 5 includes taco and beer, slosh cider, slosh, seltzer tastings, custom festival, stadium cup to keep access to 30 plus food and drink vendors. not 30. >> how many would you say they were there? >> i mean like ten? >> ten? >> maybe now it has many people
11:02 pm
questioning the structure of the event after the first 20 minutes, like all of the free options had already run out, but it's like no one even was able to get in by the time like that was offered. >> if that was the thing at all. >> the festival's instagram page shows enticing photos of previous events, but matt and willa say they deleted things from their page after the comments were full of angry festival goers. >> i was looking at their comments and it was people basically saying like, it's a scam, don't go and then when we left the event, like 30 minutes later or whatever, i looked again because i was going to. i just wanted to like, see if more people had commented. and then all the comments i saw before were gone. >> in a statement, blue stream entertainment, the organizing company, said we are as transparent as we possibly can be, and we understand the community's frustration with the long lines and limited tastings. we are currently working with our vendors to improve future events to make sure that we hold our mission statement true and improve the guest experience. matt and willa tried to get a refund, but couldn't find any customer service. >> i-team's them on instagram,
11:03 pm
like explaining the situation and asking for a refund. haven't heard anything back, but there wasn't like an email or like contact us form or anything like that. so i don't know. >> the organizers have another event planned for san jose later this month. they told me they changed the format for that event. tickets include bottomless drink samples, but the food costs extra in san francisco. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> ryan, thanks so much. now to your voice and your vote. and tonight, vice president kamala harris is on the verge of selecting her running mate. she has no public events on her schedule tomorrow, indicating an announcement could be coming, a source tells abc news. harris met face to face with at least three leading contenders today. they were arizona senator mark kelly, minnesota governor tim walz and pennsylvania governor josh shapiro. former attorney general eric holder also visited harris's residence at the naval observatory. holders law firm is running the vetting process.

11:20 pm
on for half the day and brought us foggiest conditions that dissipated, but it will redevelop overnight and will be back by tomorrow morning. right now, though, we've got partly to mostly clear conditions at the coast and breezy conditions across the bay area, but no powerful gusts at the moment. it is, however, quite a bit cooler across most of the bay area than it was at this time last night, 13 degrees cooler in concord and 12 degrees cooler in livermore. so let's move along. take a live view from our rooftop camera across the embarcadero, 56 degrees right now in san francisco, 59, hayward 60, in oakland, low 60s at san jose and redwood city, 57 at half moon bay. and from emeryville, we have a view of quiet conditions 55 degrees in santa rosa right now, low 60s at napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. moving along one more live view from the exploratorium camera looking toward the bay bridge. these are our forecast headlines overnight and early tomorrow morning. fog and drizzle near the coast and bay by afternoon, we'll see sunnier and warmer conditions. sort of a typical summer pattern. and then on tuesday and wednesday we are going to have
11:21 pm
quite a significant warm up with triple digit heat developing in our inland areas for that two day period. but for tonight, as we get into the overnight and early morning hours, we'll see the marine layer redeveloping, expanding across the bay and locally inland. there'll be lots of patchy drizzle near the coast and bay, as we have had for the last 4 or 5 overnight periods. and then as we get into the overnight lows, you can see that there will be, well, not exactly very cool, but cooler than they've been of late, mainly mid to upper 50s overnight. tomorrow's highs low 60s at the coast, mid 70s right around the bay shoreline. maybe a couple of upper 70s. there inland areas will be warm but not very hot and most locations inland will have highs in the low 90s. but there will be a couple of spots like fairfield and antioch may top out at about 94 degrees. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. and there's the heat on tuesday and wednesday. now it's very likely on tuesday that several inland locations will hit 100 degrees, possibly a little higher. a pretty good chance on wednesday also, although it will be just a little bit less hot on wednesday, both days are going
11:22 pm
to be hot inland. then on thursday it starts to cool down across the board and as we get into friday, saturday and sunday, we'll see temperatures at a much cooler and more comfortable range with no extended periods of excessive heat in sight and certainly hoping for minimal winds at that time. exactly. yeah, because while it's hot like that and dr, any winds of course can add to fire concerns. so we'll be on

questioned them about the odds of winning, the odds of hitting the full jackpot for the scratchers game was 1 in 1 point 2 million. joined by spencer christian. and like you said, i don't think we won. no, no. >> well, those are long odds, right? >> but that's okay because we've got each other. >> well, yeah, exactly. and i have a winning forecast. oh, how about that. so here's a look at what's coming our way. we'll start with the overnight satellite radar satellite radar. the overnight radar futurecast showing the development. the redevelopment of the marine layer along with some coastal drizzle which will actually move onshore a little bit around the bay and along the coastline during the early morning hours. overnight low temperatures in the early morning hours will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s. then in the afternoon we'll see sunshine just about everywhere except along the coastline. afternoon high temperatures will range from low 60s at the coast to low and mid 70s around the bay shoreline to mainly low 90s inland, although 1 or 2 locations may hit midnight tomorrow. here's the accuweather seven day forecast and there
11:49 pm
will be lots of places hitting upper 90s to near 100 on tuesday and wednesday. in our inland communities, we'll see low to mid 80s around the bay shoreline, which is quite warm for that region. then on thursday, cooling begins as we get into the end of the week and next weekend we'll have much more comfortable and a much cooler range of temperatures with no excessive heat in sight for a while. >> yeah, and you certainly hope. i know i brought up the wind before, but we saw what the park fire and what that can mean when those temperatures get hot. yeah. >> so with the heat, the extreme heat and the dry conditions, the dry fuels, as we say, and just a couple of gusts of wind and that raises the high fire danger. so we'll hope for calmer winds because the heat is coming. >> yeah. best time of year in san francisco. all that fog. >> oh yeah. well i love foggiest. yes. >> thank you so much, spencer. here's chris with a preview of sports high jr coming up in sports. >> giants rookie tyler fitzgerald stays hot with the bat. while it was a happy homecoming in cincy this weekend. plus from space to santa clara how 140 niners quarterback is hoping to air it out
