Requisite red-carpet...

Question

Oliver is addressing his shareholders tonightat your requisite red-carpet, Black-tie a OC Gala.Luxurious building called Gala in Orange County?

Avangi · Accepted Answer

Would need more context to confirm such rash assumptions.

Is "a" supposed to be "at"?

You know, they typically say, "Roll out the red carpet!" You can do that anywhere! (The city dump.)

A "gala" is a festive occasion, not a building.

For some reason, I don't associate red carpets and black ties with Orange County. Do you have a secondary reason for assuming that?

AvangiIs "a" supposed to be "at"?

I can hear it loud and clear. It's 'a' all right.

AvangiDo you have a secondary reason for assuming that?

No, just that's what I stumbled upon at Wikipedia.

Well Oliver has to make an addressing speech in front of the stockholders of
his company because they are losing money because of his binges.

Avangi · Answer

Everything computes except the "a OC." If you just delete that, it makes sense.

"Your" is often used this way in slang: It was just your garden variety murder. (Nothing special)
It has nothing to do with possession.

This is gonna be your (required) super deluxe affair! (a red-carpet, black-tie gala!)
"Black tie" is formal attire. "Red carpet" means VIP's will be there.

"Requisite" in this case means "What the occasion calls for"; "what you would expect under these circumstances."

Hmmm - Could "The AOC" be a restaurant or nightclub in Smallville? It was the scene of a beauty pagent. There's also an AOC Restaurant in Los Angeles.

<< I can hear it loud and clear. It's 'a' all right. >> Is it a long a or a short a?

AvangiIs it a long a or a short a?

I don't know what's the difference between these but
she says all three letters in the same mannor. So it's AOC.

Avangi · Answer

It's starting to look like "AOC" stands for "ace o'clubs," maybe a restraurant or night club in Smallville.

Madhulk · Answer

Of course! The Ace of Clubs in Metropolis.
Thanks, Avangi!
