*waves* Hello Readers!

We’ve been a bit quiet over the past two weeks…we’ve got some good stuff coming soon to share with you, but even with an awesomely talented staff of eight Titans and Alumni, we’re all pretty busy, so we don’t always get to update as quickly or as frequently as we’d like.

We’ve been live for a little over TWO MONTHS!  What an amazing start it has been!  We want to thank our readers, you’ve all been awesome from the start!  Special shoutout to our Twitter followers for all of the #followfriday’s and retweets!  You guys are helping us to grow at a steady rate and we are extremely grateful to you!

The staff has been having a great time so far just going out there to experience Orange County, form relationships and just share cool stuff with you guys!  Each post is a triumph for us and we are extremely excited for all of our small successes, one step at a time.  We’re still working on our own styles and figuring out what works for us….so the BEST IS YET TO COME!

I just wanted to share a little bit about what we’ve been up to that you haven’t seen yet!

Interviews! We’ve met up with some cool people recently, still working on a few posts that will do them justice:

• Yvonne and I met up with DJ Zeb, a student at CSUF by day, and one of sickest DJs in So Cal, spinning at Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim and Les Deux in LA, by night!
• Jackie and I met up with Mike and Matt of From Orange to Orange, 2/3 Chapman University students that just went on a Road Trip from Orange, CA to Orange, FL during their Spring Break!  They’re currently editing10-webisodes from their epic journey!   Check out live footage, blog posts, and tweets from their journey while you wait for the webisodes to debut!
• HURLEY!  We went on a campus tour of Hurley Headquarters.  We’re business majors…so we’ve been on our share of business tours…this was by far the BEST one I have ever been on.  Can’t wait to share this one with you…it’s long overdue!
• Last week, we met up with Paul Rudman of the OC Mud Run!  This was probably the funnest intervie we’ve done yet!  OC Mud Run sounds like a crazy, fun event!  Paul gave us the inside scoop on the course…it’s pretty insane!
• Other awesome things?  We were invited by the Orange County Performing Arts Center to check out the musical, “The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown”!  Patrick and I went to Opening Night and were handed our very FIRST Press Kit…I was freaking out about THAT!
• All of this and more is coming this week!

We hope that in small ways, we inspire further exploration of this beautiful place that we live, work, learn, and breathe in!  It’s all a work in progress…and we’re having a lot of fun in the process.  I wish all of you a wonderful week!  Thanks for all of your support!

With Love & Nutrients,
