Irvine Home Address … 140 East YALE Loop 23 Irvine, CA 92604

Resale Home Price …… $559,900

So raise your glass if you are wrong

In all the right ways

All my underdogs, we will never be, never be

Anything but loud

And nitty gritty dirty little freaks

Won't you come on, and come on, and

Raise your glass

Just come on and come and

Raise Your Glass!
