Happy Birthday to Chris Gerstenblatt!

-
Dear Friends,
A few days late, we are officially saying "Happy Birthday!" to our producer Chris Gerstenblatt who just celebrated his BIG THREE-O. The actual birthday was on February 23rd.  The festivities started at work in San Francisco with Janet Elkins and DJ Matt and a few others in town. So how did Chris celebrate after work? "I went on a wine-tasting weekend near Santa Barbara with longtime friends."  We have visions of "Sideways" and we would not dare drink merlot!
Chris' gift to himself makes us all here in the office very happy: please meet Abby! Chris rescued the beautiful, sweet, almost 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix from a local shelter.
We all love dogs and we are thrilled for Chris and Abby! She is joining Chewy and Beatrice as an official office dog.
As his birthday song, Chris requested any song from Florence and the Machine. Here is "Cosmic Love" for you!



Florence and the Machine are an English indie pop band, consisting of lead singer Florence Welch  and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music. Florence and the Machine's sound has been described as a combination of various genres, including rock and soul and electronica .The band's music received praise across the music media, especially from the BBC, before they gained mainstream success. Specifically, the BBC played a large part in their rise to prominence by promoting Florence and the Machine as part of "BBC Introducing." Chock full of whipping drum rolls and raw, uncontrollable bursts of emotion-laden lyricism, “Cosmic Love” is a chilling invocation of the classic quirk of Kate Bush, and otherworldly wisps of Bat For Lashes and Bjork.
Chilling. Powerful. A big music must in my book.  Happy Birthday Christopher! : ) 
~ DJ Matt Cornwall

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
