Saying it with Music: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

-
As Bono from U2 put it: “The whole thing about Lent – as any Irishman will tell you – is that it stops on St Patrick’s Day.”

Bono, you speak, we listen!

Janet Elkins' hometown is famous for dying the Chicago River green.

Even here in Southern California we celebrate the Irish holiday although the California way may not be quite conforming with the original religious holiday tradition. We are in good company, though! While 5.5 million pints of Guinness are consumed daily around the world, on St Patrick's Day that number rises to 13 million!

Another great Irish tradition is music. We asked DJ Lee Dyson to compile

 The Perfect Playlist!

Lee Dyson: "Since I’m more or less ½ Irish AND a DJ I figured it’s only my responsibility to provide everyone with some festive music from Irish bands to help celebrate the day.
P.S. I didn’t forget Enya…..I just didn’t want to put anyone to sleep!"

So we got you drinking Guinness and dancing. Let's add food!
Please do not make the mistake to call corned beef and cabbage Irish Stew!
Our Irish friend and caterer Richard Mooney corrected us on that issue three years ago and shared his personal recipe for an Irish-Californian dinner:

Nuevo Irish Lamb Stew!

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!

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...

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...
