Not only were the appetizers muy sabroso at Velvet Margarita Cantina for our All-Media Party in Los Angeles, but a marketing team showed up and gave out shots of Budweiser to our very happy crowd! Host Becky Hayes, who does casting for Fox Sports, made her way through the throngs, and gives a wrap-up report confirming exactly what you see in the pictures below: A good time was had by all!
