2011 Project Graduation

As Project Graduation comes to a close for me this year I leave Hawaii with a lot of great memories this season. While the events are very long days, up to 20 hours when you consider loading, setup, performance, striking, travel, and off loading, they are very fulfilling knowing we are creating memories and keeping these Graduates safe. Friday night was filled with games, game show, levitation,...

Collegiate Prom

Last nights event was at Actors Theater. This place is really nice for a small group of 200 or so. The event was Collegiate’s Prom and we had a blast. What a great group of kids. There were actually a brother and sister in attendance that we did their Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s. That really makes it special. Finishing up everything I can before flying to Hawaii for Project Graduation. I know,...

Too Many Irons In The Fire

It seems as I try and do my best to keep everything updated I never get it all done. Being busy is good I’m told. For the next several months there will be travel on the calendar. In April we had two events in Evansville. Later this month I will be DJing in Hawaii again and next month is Tennessee and hopefully back to Hawaii for a much needed vacation. Baby G should be here at the end of...

Weddings

We have been currently meeting with couples about their wedding receptions. This is a totally different experience than what we go through with our Corporate and Bar/Bat Mitzvah clients. It is nice to have the change of events as it allows us to think in a different way. Weddings have a totally different format and time line, the energy in the room even takes on a different feel from other events...

Happy New Year!

The end of the Men’s Wearhouse Tour brought on the holidays. It was also a time I could have some much needed work done on my hand. So with 2010 parties all completed I went ahead with the work. I gotta tell you this was no fun, but it seems to be healing quickly. I should be ready for my first parties of the year on January 13th and 14th. We have our yearly trip to Vegas coming at the end...

Isaac's Bar Mitzvah

Nov. 27, 2010 Last night was Isaac’s Bar Mitzvah Party. This was a cool party because Isaac and his family and friends like a lot of different music and not always the main stream stuff. We were able to play a lot of games up front and when it came time for dancing we did a lot of interactive bits throughout the evening. Isaac likes Weird Al and They Might Be Giants. I was turned on to the...

Pittsburgh Party

This was my first time in Pittsburgh so I didn’t know what to expect. The location was nice and the city was too although I didn’t get to explore it. Certainly a place I would go back to. The party was a success and we had about 200 people. I should have pictures up soon. I was able to meet Gordon, the current President of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the ADJA. He was able to help me...

Omaha Party

The Omaha Corporate event I do each year is one of my favorites. While I can’t put my finger on what exactly makes it so special I think it may have to do with a combination of things. First the Hotel is awesome. Check it out sometime and if you are ever in Omaha I recommend staying here. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/omawe-omaha-marriott/ I can’t say enough about the Steaks...

Wrapping up August

Man this month just flew by. In addition to what was already blogged there was a great Bar Mitzvah Party for Daniel. Everyone had a blast and me and my team had a great time. Having a lot of friends at the event makes it even better. The final pool party for the kids was a success and was well attended. The Adult swim night (when we kicked all the kids out) was a lot of fun as well. We played a...

July 30th Movie Night Was A Hit!

Dive-In Movie Nights. What a great idea. Nice weather (for the most part), a great pool, 200 of your closest friends, music, games, and a movie! The evening went very well with music and assorted games. The Big splash contest is always a hit. The movie was UP! and things were going well until the wind and some rain kicked up and almost blew the screen down. Or should I say the 10 X 10 sail that...

Congratulations Michael and Nicole!

Last night we had the pleasure of DJing a very nice couples wedding reception. Michael and Nicole were a pleasure to work with and we wish them a very happy life together. As an added bonus there were friends of ours in attendance which even added to the event for us. The selection of music was more rock and roll than most weddings we do but that meant we go to play a lot of classic rock that we...
