OC Happy Hour

Note #1: Mark Gregory will be in town (from Thailand) so this will be a reunion party. He's hired his favorite jazz group, and he'll probably perform a few songs himself later in the evening as well.

Note #2: If you feel sick or unwell in ANY way, please stay home. If you have a cough, cold, fever, or if you're sneezing or have a runny nose, it's best to stay home until your symptoms have passed.

Note #3: Please buy at least one drink and, ideally, some food as well (like appetizers, for example) while at the event. Especially during this pandemic insanity, we are grateful to have venues willing to host our group, and the best way to say "Thank you!" is to buy food and/or drinks, and tip well :-)

Are you an OC working professional in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s? Come join us for another #OCHappyHour at The Wild Goose Tavern in Costa Mesa (on East 17th Street).

This #OCHappyHour group was formed on July 18th, 2018. Group membership as of 10/26 was 10,777 people, and this will be our 270th event!

As a group, we have just one objective: Meet new people! Come join us and bring a friend. This group is thriving because we have great people and great energy. So invite someone along. I'll do my best to introduce you (and them) to everyone.

Curious how many people will attend? We usually get 60% of the RSVP count actually showing up, so 100 RSVPs normally results in about 60 people in attendance.

Also, just to be clear, you don't have to be there by 6:00 PM. That's just when it starts. That's when I will be there, but feel free to come whenever you're available. Come at 6:30. Come at 7:00. Come at 7:30. We'll be there until at least 9:00 or 9:30.

Is it your birthday? If your birthday falls within a few days, either before or after this event, please post it in the comments below. We love any excuse to order something sweet, sing you a song, and help you celebrate in style!

Social Media: Please take photos at our events and post them to Instagram and Facebook! Tag them with #OCHappyHour and we'll add the best ones to our Meetup Group as well. We've had some awesome events, and it would be great to have a bunch of photos that we can all share with each other.

DUIs: Please drink responsibly! These events are getting better and better, but drinking & driving could make them WORSE very quickly. Uber and Lyft are cheap and convenient. Please take precautions to ensure you get home safe and sound after our events.

Be good to each other! #OCHappyHour
