We recently moved our LA office from Venice to West Hollywood and needed to properly celebrate the move. So we teamed with our new officemates BBH LA to throw a happy hour in our new digs in support of one of our favorite non-profits, Safe Place For Youth. It was a great opportunity for Working Not Working Members, local creatives, and influencers to connect with each other, the WNW team, and one of Los Angeles's premiere agencies face-to-face.

WNW's 5th Birthday Party: Recap
Early this winter, we came up with a new strategy in our "Planning of Epic Events" meeting. Two for you... and one for us. We kicked things off on a balmy December night in Los Angeles with our 5th Annual Working Not Working Holiday Party. That was for you. Next, in late January, we relaunched Working Not Working with a ton of new features. That was also for you.

The 5th Annual Working Not Working Holiday Party: Recap
We kicked off the holiday season with our 5th Annual Working Not Working Holiday Party on Saturday night. This year we held it in Los Angeles. Big thanks to all of you who danced and drank with us. Our annual NYC Holiday Party has earned a bit of a reputation, and we decided it was time to bring the festivities to the West Coast. Debauchery ensued. Friends were made. Their names were not remembered.

DRINKING NOT DRINKING / LA
The torrential Los Angeles drizzle and Obama traffic last week couldn't keep us and our LA Members from meeting up at Resident in DTLA for Drinking Not Drinking, our global happy hour series. Much love to our good friends at Mount Gay Rum, who served an assortment of delicious rum-based cocktails and some dangerous rum punch; it mixed well with the good music, vibes, and snacks. Head over to Facebook to see what went down. And shout-out to WNW Member #3180 Phil Johnson for designing the new Drinking Not Drinking branding.
We are always looking to celebrate our LA members, and cultivate the LA creative community. Many of us spend all day behind computer screens, so it's important to do things in real life too. Drinking Not Drinking is more than just a happy hour; it's a way to experience Working Not Working offline.
We didn't forget about you, San Francisco. Our next stop on the Drinking Not Drinking tour is next Thursday in the Mission District at Southern Pacific Brewing from 6-9. We'll be partnering again with Mount Gay Rum. RSVP here.
