We Have A Guest: Jon Michaels' Monday Selection: Jason Mraz

-

Dear Friends,
Finally, rest assured, our relentless begging for votes is over! Yes, we hear your sigh of relief.
This week’s Monday Music selection was actually chosen by our dear friend and esteemed colleague Jon Michaels. We had the chance to chat a few weeks ago and Jon mentioned artist, traveler and surfer Jason Mraz. 



Jon: “The World As I See It speaks to me about finding new perspectives and finding the beauty in our surroundings, both nature and humanity. “
What a beautiful thought to start off the week and the month of February.
Jason Mraz dedicated “The World As I See It” as the theme song for his global “In Search Of Incredible” Campaign that invited fans worldwide to submit incredible stories of courage, perseverance and triumph over hard times. 


DJ Matt Cornwall: "I've always been very appreciative of the works of Jason Mraz. We've gone from seeing him wow us his with his laidback wordplay, to quirky fun song stylings,  to encouraging fidelity and romance through the worldwide sensation, "I'm Yours." While all of that was going on, he was always quietly in the background reminding us that it is indeed a wonderful life : ) . 
His latest single, "World As I See It," is the theme song to the Search for Incredible campaign (an international campaign that encourages people to submit imagery and media of things they find life changing and incredible.)  The song that accompanies this is like a soaring aural chicken soup for the soul, as Jason prompts us to see so many inspiring things in the world if we just look close enough. It's also a keen meditation/observation on, and of how our world can be the person we love, and the good things in that person can be equally as remarkable. It's all set to an easy paced, beautiful strumming guitar with Jason ably keeping the melody on track and a rather uplifting gliding chorus.  My hats off to Mr. Mraz as usual, for inspiring us with all that is good, and not reflecting back to us, the negative and a haplessness with which to respond : )." 

About Jon Michaels: Jon grew up around the industry and is now partner and vice president of Extraordinary Events, long time friend and fan of Eventworks. 
As we are of EE.


Thank you for reading and listening!
Happy Monday!
Janet

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...

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...
