Orange County Brown alums - primarily from the last century, but with some youth rolled in - and Stanford alums gathered late afternoon - early evening Nov. 19, 2025, at Muldoon's Irish Pub in Newport Beach to kick off the holiday season before the holidays actually arrive. It was a very low-key event, and Muldoon's provided a warm, welcoming atmosphere (and good happy hour food and drink deals). In an otherwise rainy stretch, we got a clear day - so even the weather smiled on us!
This was our 2nd annual Brown Club "Wednesday before the Wednesday before Thanksgiving" Happy Hour (you may need a Brown or Stanford degree to understand that). A great chance to see old friends, make new ones, and decompress with a great and very eclectic group.
Thanks to everyone who came and made the evening fun! And, watch for the 3rd annual in 2026 (and other fun events before then).
