Hip Hostess Series: San Diego

Quick Jump To » Comments

hip hostess series Chambord

I’m excited to share that HWTM is teaming up with Chambord Black Raspberry Liqueur to host a series of events for readers! For this “Hip Hostess Series“, we’ll be traveling to 7 cities across the US over the next 12 months putting on (free) entertaining workshops/parties where you can pick up tips and ideas for seasonal & holiday entertaining…and indulge in some yummy food and cocktails of course!

The first event is next Thursday, May 22nd in San Diego, and we’ll be covering ideas for throwing “Tropical Zen” summer parties – kind of a fusion of Hawaiian and Asian styles with a contemporary twist. If you’re interested in attending, you can click here to rsvp for the event online (space is limited, so please rsvp soon!). The party stars at 6 o’clock pm and will be held at The Hospitality Room in Balboa Park (near downtown San Diego). Click here for directions.

*The next party is scheduled for June 25th in Chicago and will be held at The Ivy Room. Looking forward to meeting some of you in person finally!

Cheers,
Jenn

    SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! This is so awesome.

    I’m sure St. Louis is on your list, right? Right???

    Good luck with the series. I know you’ll be fabulous!

    If you do any Los Angeles events I’d love to photograph it!

  4. Jenn May 15, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Amy –
    I wish St. Louis was on the list! But, alas, no go…maybe I can sweet talk them into it :) So far it’s Dallas, Chicago, Miami, Boston, NY, LA, and San Diego…feel like taking a trip? ;)

    Meg –
    We ARE doing an LA event – but of course it’s the very last one, so it’s not for almost a year! Maybe we can touch base then though :)

    Cheers,
    Jenn

    When will you be coming to Dallas?

  6. Sharon May 15, 2008 at 1:26 pm

    Oh how you tease! What a pickle, I am right in between your DTSD and your LA event. Next week is out for me but I will certainly give LA a shot! See you in a year.

  7. Jenn May 15, 2008 at 2:10 pm

    Hi Beatrice –
    Dallas is tentatively scheduled for late October. Here’s the “working” list we have planned right now:

    Chicago – June 25
    New York in late August
    Dallas in late October
    Boston in early December
    LA in mid-February
    Miami in mid-April

    I’ll keep you guys posted as things get more finalized, though!

    Cheers,
    Jenn

    When you do get around to the LA one I’ll definitely be there! Congratulations on such a great venture! I’m sure it will be a big success.

  9. Darshae D. May 15, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    It would be fantastic if you had an event on the east coast!

  10. Mimi May 15, 2008 at 5:24 pm

    Sounds exciting! I hope your itinerary includes Miami :)

  11. Jenn May 15, 2008 at 6:28 pm

    Mimi – The itinerary DOES include Miami! (but not until next year, so it will be a while!)

    Darshae – we also have events planned for NY in August and Boston in early December. hope you can make one of them! :)

  12. Jacinda May 15, 2008 at 7:03 pm

  13. Jenn May 15, 2008 at 7:12 pm

    Hi Jacinda –
    Sorry about that! If it helps you can just email your info to “info [at] hwtm.com” and we can manually add you to the list.

    Jenn :)

  14. Tia May 15, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    Phoenix is calling your name!

  15. Trayce May 16, 2008 at 6:22 am

    hey I am actually in San Diego that week. I live in San ANTONIO but i grew up in San DIEGO. How cool is that – unfortunatly we are there for my sisters college graduation (finally) and it’s that day. UGH, just my luck. Have fun

  16. Cheryl Ann May 16, 2008 at 8:21 am

    I agree… Phoenix would LOVE to have you!!!

  17. Jenn May 16, 2008 at 1:11 pm

    Thanks Tia and Cheryl Anne! That’s so nice of you! Pheonix sounds like a very friendly place so far :)

  18. Courtney @ Nesting instincts May 16, 2008 at 1:52 pm

    can I vote for Portland?? (the Oregon one that is) I am so jealous of those other locations. :-) Keep us posted on the schedule!

  19. Brandy K May 16, 2008 at 2:59 pm

    I am so excited to hear that you are coming to Dallas! I can’t wait! I have some very funky wine accessories that I would love to donate to the event if it fits the theme! Love you site!
    Can’t wait until October!

  20. Hildee May 17, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    Phoenix would be a great stop … make it in the fall though! Rather toasty during the summer!! :)

    would luv to see ya!!!

  21. Kim O. May 17, 2008 at 5:28 pm

    Jenn-how about a trip to Raleigh??? Maybe I can make it to Miami next April, though…Hmmm, maybe a Miami girls trip would be a fun idea!!!

  22. Erin May 18, 2008 at 2:27 pm

    When you come to Boston let us know! We’d love to help out another Simply Stated blogger.

  23. Jenn May 18, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    Thanks, Erin! I would love to meet you guys!

    Brandy – thanks so much for the generous offer. Keep you posted on the theme…I have a pretty good feeling it will be Halloween-related!

    Kim – a girls trip sounds great! I don’t think I can wait until next April…let’s start rounding up the crew and try to plan a trip this summer if everyone can swing it! Of course I’d be more than happy to ALSO see you in Miami ;)

  24. Nicole May 20, 2008 at 12:42 pm

    This does look like fun! Boston in early December – just in time for the holiday season… I’ll be looking out for details and raving reviews of your Chicago, New York and Dallas events!

  25. Carmen May 20, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Bummer, I went to register and it says capacity full. I hope you do another soon.
    Wishes much success.

  26. Dash May 20, 2008 at 6:51 pm

    Awesome! Are you guys going to be in the San Francisco area too? Thanks.

  27. Ariane Griffiths May 22, 2008 at 11:06 am

    This sounds so cool! Any chance for a Toronto, Canada date? Count me in!!

  28. Nicole May 24, 2008 at 8:51 am

    Carmen –
    So sorry about the RSVP list closing :( Thanks so much for the well-wishes though!

    Dash-
    Unfortunately S.F. isn’t on the schedule right now – but I would love it if it was – most of our family lives near there!

    Ariane –
    A Canada trip would be so fun! But so far the locations are all is in the U.S.

    Nicole –

    I see you’re not coming to the Detroit area but do you see this in the future? We’d love to have you here and this event sounds awesome.

  31. Jenn May 24, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    Cheers,
    Jenn

  35. Charlene May 30, 2008 at 8:28 pm

  36. Wendy June 5, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    So cool! Sounds like a great event. Wish you were coming to the DC area. Good luck w/ the Chicago event!

    Can’t wait to hear more details about the event in Dallas!

  38. Carrie Stratton June 19, 2008 at 6:53 am

    Hi Jenn,
    I registered to the Chicago event that is taking place over a month ago, and I never received a confirmation email. Were confirmation emails sent out to the people who signed up for the event?
    Thanks!
    Carrie

  39. Jenn June 19, 2008 at 9:05 am

    Hi Carrie –
    I’m not sure because Chambord handles the RSVP list, but I’ll double check with them that your name is on there today, and if it’s not I’m sure we can add it :) Keep ya posted!

    Jenn

  40. Jenn June 19, 2008 at 10:52 am
