We added an LED wall for the DJ's custom video work. LED zoom washes splashed texture and color onto the walls and ceiling. Event Producer Max Blum: "It was such an honor to have the opportunity to do something special for t...

We had the honor of contributing to the Opening Event of SeaLegs at the Beach at Bolsa Chica State Beach, Huntington Beach, CA. The Event: The Final Evening of a cross-country MegaFAM with international travel experts celebrated the California Life Style at its finest in a great new location that we are excited about for many reasons!

Gone are the stale nachos and hot dogs, starting this Memorial Day weekend, following a million dollar renov...

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...

"Will you still need me, will you still feed me,  When I'm sixty-four?" The answer is obviously a resounding "Yes". Should we book Classic Rock for our events? Tickets for the October Classic Rock Extravaganza in Coachella - the Desert Trip Festival - go on sale this morning. The event is touted globally as the biggest Classic Rock weekend of a lifetime and is expected to sell out the rumored available 70,000 tickets immediately. This may come as a surprise to many of us. We have become accustomed to living in a youth obsessed culture. Chart topping acts start their career ascent long before they can legally order a beer in the USA. It is the age of streaming music and social media self promotion. Surprisingly, it seems, the oldies but goodies continue to succeed without much attention to their social media followers. Mick Jagger has a million and a half followers on Twitter. Not bad, you think, until you see Taylor Swift. She has almost 77 million ...

It was not just another sunny day in California as we were setting up for Bruin Day. The forecast had mentioned gusty winds. They turned into a full blown Santa Ana windstorm that caused such damages that it made national headlines. Carolyn Vasi and her crew went into rescue mode to get the job done. Production Manager Carolyn Vasi: "We are used to these wind events in Southern California but this one turned out to be a lot more severe than forecast. The wind force turned over full trucks on the freeways and oak trees broke like matches. Santa Anas have a way of starting abruptly and ending abruptly. We were in the midst of the setup when it started to blow. Our tents were tossed around like tumble weeds." Thankfully the event location was not too far from our warehouse. Carolyn dispatched the truck to get the storm gear and the setup for the outdoor event proceeded with only a slight delay. Carolyn: "We had to make some adjustments to ensure the safety of a...
