This Weekend! Lopez at Fiesta Hermosa

This Sunday and Monday I get to catch a plane out to LAX and attend one of my favorite annual events! Fiesta Hermosa is known as the largest arts and crafts fair in Southern California, and it isn’t hard to see why. There’s a highly diverse food court, a beer and wine garden and two stages of live music all throughout the day!

Not only that, but you can peruse through the countless number of tables displaying amazing art available for purchase, and usually at a very good price!

If you remember (WAY back when), this was the first event I attended on behalf of 8^th Continent. I got to meet so many new people and introduced them to 8^th Continent. It was awesome because I realized that when people give it a chance, they love our soymilk as much as I do! I even made a taste testing video where people blindly tried our soymilk vs. the popular soymilk brand to see which one they preferred. Needless to say, we won. I can’t explain how much I am looking forward to seeing some of these people again and looking back on such a long and adventurous journey.

If you are planning on coming out with the kiddies, don’t fret! They have tons of entertainment for children as well! There are Pony Rides, Petting Zoos and amazing Face Painters. I got an awesome piece of art brushed on my face last year. So as you can see, it is not only for kids; but also for the kid inside of the adult.

I’ll be cruising around, taking pictures, handing out free 8^th Continent and a whole bunch of coupons! Make sure to come on out and say hi! If you’re on Twitter send us a shout out when you come around.

We are not going to leave you hanging this close to the finish line. We are here for you all the way through this holiday of love! Check out the following. First we will start off with some charmingly nerdy love quotes and sayings, and then we will get into the serious tear-up, heart-beating, happy-sobbing, lovey-dovey sayings to fill your card, and hearts with that special feeling.

LOVE FOR GEEKS

You changed my world, without even needing the source code.
I know you would never <br /> my heart.
You are the dot com to my perfect domain name.
I RT you just so I can see your Twitter handle twice.
Do you understand when I say that I less than three you?
Baby, you and I go back to Beta.
Today I changed my Twitter password to your name.

I don’t poke just anyone on Facebook.
On Twitter I @ you instead of DM you because I want everyone to know our love.
