The Biggest Party in the World: FIFA World Cup!

-
It's time to learn more about football - we mean Fussball, Futbol, soccer! Have you caught the Fever yet?
Google's name banner is dedicated to the World Cup, internet news and sports pages are dominated by soccer scores and - since we travel quite a bit - we could not help but notice that the rest of the world is in VERY SERIOUS party mode! Europe, Africa and Latin American have basically declared a holiday. And Americans are finally catching on!

We love the FIFA World Cup Song: "We Are One - Ole Ola", featuring top football players, sexy samba dancers and singers Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull and Claudia Leitte. So infectious! What an explosion of rhythm, color, song and dance!



You may be shocked to learn that the World Cup match between USA and Ghana drew a record setting 15.9 million viewers, plus many thousands uncounted more who watched in sports bars and at private parties. How does this compare to the Stanley Cup final game three days earlier? A paltry 6 million viewers watched ice hockey!
Overall TV ratings in the US have grown over 23 percent since the last World Cup in 2010 during the first week of matches- and will continue to grow if 21-year old John Brooks keeps getting goals with amazing headers!

We love parties - and this is the biggest one we ever witnessed!

We'd love to hear or read from our friends! Are you watching and how are you celebrating? Let us know! Email us or leave comments on our Facebook page.

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

-
Image
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...
