Come on down tonight to the Costa Mesa Neighborhood Community Center for the “Feet to the Fire” candidate forum hosted by Orange County Register columnist Barbara Venezia.

Joining Barbara will be the Daily Pilot’s John Canalis; the Register’s Frank Mickadeit; the Newport Beach Independent’s Tom Johnson; and Voice of OC’s Norberto Santana, Jr.

This hard-boiled group will be posing questions in a talk show format to city council candidates from Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. Count on tough, insightful questions and some perspiration coming from the candidates.

Here are the particulars:

When: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Where: 1845 Park Ave., Costa Mesa

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
