Alisa Walsh Reports from the Brand New House of Blues Anaheim

-

Alisa Walsh had the pleasure and the honor of chairing the MPI Orange County Spring Social and Fundraiser on March 22, 2017.

 The Theme: "Back to the Blues".
The very appropriate Event Location:
the brand new House of Blues at the Anaheim Garden Walk.

 The excitement among MPI members to be the very first to experience an event during opening week at the new location was palpable.
Alisa: "The event was very well attended and we raised over $12,000 for MPI! Everyone had a great time!
The new House of Blues Anaheim at the Garden Walk is much larger than the previous HOB at Downtown Disney - and it is a great event location!"
Here is our location report.

Here is our location report.
Alisa: "The new House of Blues still retains the classic character and feel of the known brand, but the Anaheim location is an updated, more modern version of the Southern juke joint. It alludes in design style to a gospel church. It is more eclectic and upscale. We used the Foundation Room and the Restaurant for our event. I was moving around all night long to check the event flow. The HOB staff was fantastic! No first night mishaps! "
Alisa: "Having The Foundation Room, the traditional space for HOB members and VIPs, at our disposal allowed us to treat our VIP planners and top donors to a private area. We raised funds through live and silent auctions. Our auctioneers appeared dressed as the Blues Brothers at the beginning and ended the night in Elvis costume. They matched the decor and the mood perfectly. HOB made our work easy! Everything is included and in place: decor, staging, lighting. Catering and Beverage Service is provided by House of Blues. The variety of spaces allows for many different styles and sizes of events in the center of Anaheim. The more upscale, modern design is a great match for corporate events, just steps from the Anaheim Convention Center."
A BIG Thank You to Katie Pederson, | Director of Sales - Special Events, House of Blues - Anaheim, for allowing us to use their photo material, all shot by Alexander Mo.

Wishing you a fabulous week!

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...
