Far*East Movement at Cantina Lounge TONIGHT!

Lucky us, Far*East Movement is coming to Cantina Lounge tonight!  What?  You don’t know who Far*East Movement is?  Here, take a listen…

I saw FM at Cal Poly Pomona about a month ago and they were amazing performers!  Not at all what I expected, especially knowing that they’re an all Asian-American group!  (woo woo, represent! It’s API Heritage Month!)  Members Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman (yes, it’s THAT DJ Virman, from Power 106!) bring the hype like no other!  These boys take the stage with full force and hit …

Social Media Club OC- If you get it, Share it!

Finally! Social Media Club is coming to Orange County and we couldn’t be more excited!
By now, you probably noticed that the Vitamin OC staff is full of social media geeks. We spend A LOT of time online, and A LOT of time using and learning about social media.  So when we found out that Social Media Club is going to launch in OC, we couldn’t wait to tell you about it!
As soon as we found out that Coworking Fullerton in Downtown Fullerton will be hosting SMC OC, we quickly contacted owner, Marieke …

OC Kogi BBQ Watch ’09: this week = FAIL!

Last week was the first full week of Orange County visits for Kogi BBQ.  They’re back again, 3 times this week! Woo hoo! **Well, they were supposed to be in OC three times this week, but earlier this afternoon, they got shut down!

On Tuesday, when they were parked at J’s Cocktails in Downtown Fullerton, the wait was pretty short!  Valerie and her fiance didn’t have to wait long at all to get their burritos!  Lucky…
On Thursday, Patrick, Yvonne, Jackie, Jorge, and I, plus a few of our other friends and …

Bike to Work Week

Yes, I have it easy. I live less than two miles from work. In fact, I already bike to work on a somewhat regular basis. But this week is Bike to Work Week, meaning now is the time for YOU to take advantage of the beautiful Southern California weather and ride your bike to work.
While May 11-15 is Bike to Work Week, this Thursday, May 14, is the actual Bike to Work Day, so if you’re lazy, perhaps you can aim to bike for just that one day!
Why Bike …

Petition for Harvey Milk Day

Harvey Milk — you may have heard the name, you may have even seen the movie. But for millions of Californians and Americans, the name Harvey Milk is synonymous with equality. He was a pioneer fighting for gay rights, and was one of the first openly gay men to be elected into office. After being assassinated in 1978, he has become known as a “martyr for gay rights.”

According to Equality California (EQCA), an organization fighting for equal rights, Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill last year to declare May 22nd …

OC Kogi BBQ Watch ’09

So, did you get your Kogi BBQ fix over the weekend? (see previous post: Nomalicious Kogi BBQ Finally in Orange County!)  It was a little harder than we thought since the Buena Park/Santa Fe Springs location was secret, then it wasn’t secret and etc.  But, OH WELL…Kogi is baaaaaack three times this week!!!
I should’ve been a little more optimistic.  I couldn’t make it out on Saturday so I had my friend, Diana Truong, buy my favorite burrito and freeze it for me (dude, it totally tastes just as good, …

The High-Tech Treasure Hunt

Summer vacation is nearly upon us! And whether you have plans to travel (plane fares are still cheap, right now, I think), or you are planning to find something active in the area to do on your free time, let me introduce you to a fun outdoor activity you can enjoy alone or with friends.
It’s a “high-tech treasure hunting” game called Geocaching, and it is definitely a past time favorite of us folks here at VitaminOC. If you have access to a GPS unit (iPhones and G1′s work great …
