The Halloween party weekend is upon us. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be the time to catch all the swanky parties going on around and about Los Angeles/Orange County.

Halloween is my favorite time of year because you have the best themed parties going on.  The normal club night is fine, but decorating a space in effort to create an experience for party goers is awesome.  I like to see people hiding under the anonymity of thier costumes, and for those without a curfew Halloween party weekend can make for some great memories!

I’m going to be the Queen of Hearts, and my Beau is going to be the Mad Hatter.  I’ve got my costume ready, I’m just hunting around now for the perfect crown, and practicing my best “Off With his heeeeeeeeaaad!”.

What are you gonna be this Halloween? Where are you partying at? Lemmie Know!

It’s Tea Time.

Oh yeah, I’ve compiled this list of goings-on. If you don’t have plans you may wanna check out these shin-diggs.
