I'm going to let my video tell the story of this year's Orange County Blogger's Ball.
Orange County Blogger Ball 2009 from Suzanne Broughton on Vimeo.
I would like to express my deepest thanks to Ms. 110%, Marcy from "The Glamorous Life Association." Everything she does, she does well and with style. Thanks, Marcy.
(Marcy is cropped out of this photo on the right. I didn't receive the mandatory photo
approval from her before posting. Let me know if you give it your "okay" Marcy and I will add you.)
Next, I'd like to thank Nikki from Prose and Converse for showing up as a surprise guest. We have been reading each other's blogs for years and hadn't ever met in person. We both confirmed each other's status of FIRL (funny in real life) midway through the night (and on tape), which is nice...and she has that whole "lights up a room with her smile" thing going, too. Which is also, very nice.

This looks like so much fun. Quite the gathering of great minds. I suppose the internet was dead while you all were at your ball?

Internet traffic from OC died that night! It must be so. :-)

Totally hilarious. You really captured the mood. Lovely evening - Marcy IS awesome. I'm not going to say "You're not a dork." Instead - "We all displayed our dork-itude proudly that night." You are in good company.

LOVE it! You're such a CUTE "dork"! What a fun capture of the night and great to see everybody! As usual, your editing looks effortless, and liked the post-wrap. Thanks for always entertaining, Suz and showing me how it's done. And thanks again Marcy :)

Had an awesome time!!! Can't wait for the next one! I don't mind that the name of my blog is spelled wrong... though I'm a bit disappointed that my Lucille Ball dress didn't make the video!
