For example she has thrown parties at the Brentwood Oak Ranch, a gorgeous property, but also an unlicensed venue that could get shut down by the cops at any moment. The neighbors of the ranch are up in arms over the weddings because it creates a massive fire hazard in a neighborhood that was just feet from being burnt to a crisp during the January 7th fires. The neighbors have an ongoing investigation with the city attorney and spme of the more ornery ones are talking about protesting at the event space. All of this begs the question Aliana - why are you willing to destroy your reputation by taking the few extra bucks the owners of the ranch kick back? How could you ever let a couple even consider throwing a wedding at the Brentwood oak ranch knowing the wedding could be interupted by LAPD or LAFD and the most important day of a young couples life ruined! And to the fathers of the bride out there - you bust your balls to give your daughter the greatest wedding imaginable and on her wedding day...protestors holding signs saying you could cause a massive fire that kills women and children! If Aliana is throwing events at the ranch run away!

Bored of the typical, drunken Halloween weekends, I began a search of an out of the ordinary event…read moreto attend. I stumbled upon the OOTBE Halloween Hunt on a Yelp board. The details were vague, but intriguing: $25 per person Hunt was 1.5-hours The hunt will take you through haunted spots in Hollywood. Bring a flashlight Whhhhaaatttt? A flashlight? What kind of hunt was this?! I was so intrigued, I immediately called my best group of friends and spread the word - we had something super cool to do for Halloween! The night of the event was great! I don't want to reveal all of the details (that's that fun in it!), but the event was challenging and fun. We learned alot of about Hollywood and had a great time doing it. I would definitely recommend this to someone who literally enjoys thinking outside of the box. One of their next events is based around Hollywood scandals. Is it bad we're already getting together our team? Tip: Arrive on time. The event begins promptly.

So my co-planner & I ran to the internet & found Out of the Box Events... they're located in LA, but do hunts in San Francisco as well. We weren't sure how this would go over with everyone, but thought we'd give it a go! Kristin at OOTBE was super-fantastic! She did research on our company & worked that info into the scavenger hunt as well as cool history about SF. She was also cool with me e-mailing her non-stop with random questions. So the day of the scavenger hunt arrives & Kristin's on-time & completely patient with the chaos going on in our office. Each team got a polaroid camera & a list of clues... and we're off! We ran around the city taking silly pictures & deciphering clues. Trying to throw our competitors off the trail when we could. You get points for creativity as well as finding the clues.... so that made for some fun photo ops! We ended at a hotel bar and had a drink while Kristin tallied the scores! My team won (and not because we were the ones who hired Kristin, but because we're awesome)! Ok - so the point of this long review is this: Hire Out of the Box Events. They're top-notch!!! I promise you'll have a great time!

They are also known for their salt water taffy in great flavors such as cream soda, mango, passion fruit, and candied apple. Bag up your favorite flavors. It's not sold by the pound but rather as much as you can stuff into the bag to the top. Several years ago I was at another Rocket Fizz and the cashier sent us back to the bin to add more candy after pushing what we had down to make more room. A small bag is $10.99. Once I got home I weighed the bag and it came in as 1.3 pounds. A bit pricey at about $8.50 a pound. Some of the taffy pieces turned out to be a bit hard and stale. A fun store for fun treats, but be cautious.
