On Sunday evening, the Mr. and I attended the OC Blogger Bash, put on by the Anaheim Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau.
I attended as a local blogger, and my husband actually works for the bureau, so I was lucky enough to have a handsome date. The bash was a 1960s/Mad Men theme, so we got dressed to the nines and were excited to see that most of the attendees did the same.
Inside the bash were milkshakes, popcorn, classic cars, cocktails, a photo booth, and an impressive spread of food. The night included several giveaways, a 1960s fashion show, music, and lots of networking with LA and Orange County bloggers. I got to meet the amazing ladies from MomsLA, along with Elle from See Mom Work, Brigitta from Brighter Schemata, and Jane from See Jane Explore.
And talk about prizes! I walked away with 2 tickets to Knott’s Berry Farm (as did all the attendees), tickets to a UCLA vs. UCD basketball game, and a prize package from the Costa Mesa Conference & Vistior Bureau which included an overnight stay at the Westin South Coast Plaza, a $250 South Coast Plaza gift certificate, and a $100 gift certificate to The Capital Grille. I’m still reeling! I never win anything, so I’m not quite sure how I got so lucky.
All in all, the Anaheim/OC Visitor and Convention Bureau sure knows how to throw a party. If you’re an LA/OC blogger, get to know them! They’ve got all the info on local happenings.
