The Wave Wave Back

 Back to the Ocean(a)

As if we needed to be reminded how much Austin loves the Ocean.

 “Ever since I can remember I’ve always wanted to be in the water,” Austin shared during the event. “I grew up waterskiing all over the country, and then I moved to California and started surfing. Now my obsession is free diving and that’s brought me face to face with all the beautiful things the ocean has to offer.”


Austin and Miranda Cosgrove hosted the Oceana party last week at the The Marion Davies Guest House, a white 1920s Georgian formerly built for William Randolph Hearst’s mistress/silent film star Marion Davies.

 Joining supporters of Oceana includedTed Danson, Drake Bell (of Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh, who performed), Jenna Ushkowitz, Angela Kinsey, Sam Trammell , and the FauxChlo. Connor Cruise (yup you know that last name) dj'd a set.

And what's a host without fun facts.

And he was on a roll

"You’re more likely to get struck by lightning than be attacked by a shark,”

 “You’re more likely to be killed by a jellyfish. My favorite is, you’re more likely to be killed by a vending machine than killed by a shark!”

Once everyone got a chance to mingle, give, and filled up on finger foods and fun facts they  got  beach totes and towels and were asked not to crash the neighboring wedding.

But before they left The Bumbys, masked performance artists who tap out fashion-centric notes on typewriters, offered guests “A Fair and Honest Appraisal of Your Appearance.”

An example of their work

What would they say about the big Tall Texan

 A true Southern gentleman with an infectious smileand a funky style.  A consummate host, who wants to make every comfortable yet but has moments of total geekitude.

 A waterbaby who's one with the water, the wave and the board

Tender  for sharks

yet tougher with "dates"
