Streaming live with Richard Branson 35,000 feet in the air on Virgin America!

Yesterday was the FIRST flight from SFO to the OC on Virgin America and we were there! Karen and lucky enough to be able to catch a ride. Not only being the best airline ever, Virgin also knows how to throw the best events ever.. Keep reading :)

Once we were in the air and it was safe to turn back on all of our electronic equipment.. we hopped on to Virgin’s ustream channel and chatted with everyone.. LIVE using their wifi from the air! It was awesome.

..and like every awesome event, it’s just not truely awesome unless MC Hammer is there :)

Once we landed at John Wayne Airport in the OC, we were greeted by a red carpet and a press event for the official launch of the SFO to OC router.

Here’s Richard Branson answering those hard hitting questions for the press.

I kid you not.. they actually had spray tanning, makeovers and drinks right there on the tarmac. It was also very funny because a lot of the other airline workers were wishing they could come over and party with the cool kids airline… alas, they could not. Still thought that was a pretty funny photo.

After this event, we headed up to beautiful Laguna Beach and had an awesome party near the water. Lots of tasty little treats, good drinks and awesome conversations with awesome people.

Karen and I met Ryan Sheckler who I found out is in fact on twitter.. so feel free to follow his tweets! He was very nice.

..and that was our eventful day out with Virgin! Flying with them is definitely the only way to travel. If I could, I’d sleep and live on their plane.. Hmm, can I? Richard? Please?

More photos here on flickr! Working on editing the video that I shot yesterday as well. Will post that soon as it’s done.
