Orange you glad you came?

Happily the OC Blogger Ball went off wonderfully.

And I think everyone who came had as much fun as me.

Once again I was blown away by The Anaheim Hilton’s quality of food and display expertise. It was 5 star. The guests were equally impressed. But the magic of the night was meeting people I already ‘knew’ via internet.

And after my BlogHer debacle, I realized I am far more comfortable HOSTING a party alone, than going to a party alone.

Huh. Who knew.

Thank you to all who donated amazing raffle prizes! Such fun to give out $300 website design packages, $200 photo sessions, Kodak cameras, cupcakes and many many more. Sadly I neglected to take photos the entire night…but I know lots of you did! So please post or send along to me, so I can gather them all for a Flickr or Facebook group. (Special thanks to the OTHER Marcie for the adorable photo grouping above!)

Oh, and If you wrote a post about The OC Ball, please leave a link in the comments.

Love to see what you thought of the party!

Are you gonna do a Mr. Linky to bloggers who post about the event? I would go check some out if you do!

Kathi D August 2, 2009 at 9:00 pm

Hey! I send my friend Carrie there! I didn’t know she was going! How cool!

Kathi D August 2, 2009 at 9:01 pm

I meant I SEE my friend Carrie. Doh!

The ball was a blast! Thank you so much for putting it together. I loved meeting so many talented writers and photographers and, of course, my favorite blogger of all, Miss Marcy herself.

Every detail was perfect. You were a great MC. It was fun meeting everyone. I didn’t expect it to be educational, but I learned a lot of technical solutions and go-to websites/services. A great group of generous bloggers.

Thanks for planning such a fun event! This was the first time I’d been to a bloggy event and I really enjoyed it!

And it just won’t be a bloggy meet-up bloggy write-up if you don’t do an entire spread about the shoes in attendance.

I had a great time. Thanks for organizing a great event. Wishing I had eaten more of the fab food though.

Kathi D – You get around the blogging block. Apparently I do too.

Well done, Marcy. Drinks and food rocked, event was upscale and guest list was full of fun peeps and tweeps!

Debbie Savage August 3, 2009 at 11:31 pm

Hi Marcy! Thanks for inviting me to the event. It was spectacular! The Anaheim Hilton Hotel and the food were to die for. Hey, let’s do it again. :) I also enjoyed meeting you and the other fabulous people there! Hope to see you soon!

How awesome! What a great idea, I should do that here (except I only know 4 other bloggers in my area and one of them is a wacko.) Maybe I should move to Orange County.
