Video DJ at The Scripps Seaside Forum at UCSD

WOW! If you haven't seen this amazing new property, you really have to stop by and take a look around. Its right next to the La Jolla Pier in La Jolla, its right on the water and the full length glass doors open and fold away for a 1 one of a kind view. Its on Discovery Way in La Jolla and even if you aren't planning a party you can go down park and walk along the water, its great.


The venue is so new, this was the first private event they've had, not including a couple of industry events and Grand opening parties.

This party was for The La Jolla High School Foundation, they're a group of parents and alumni raising money to help fund some of the programs no longer covered by the state (Arts, Sports, Etc.). French Gourmet catered the party and did a great job as always. I brought in (2) 42" Flatscreens, a 12ft x 14ft projection screen and 4 speakers spread around the room and outdoor patio. Kerri the Event Chairperson said one of the things they wanted, was to make sure the party wasn't boring, that it was exciting and fun enough that people would talk about it through the year and look forward to next years fundraiser.

The night started with a cocktail reception and silent auction, dinner and a live auction followed by the party. Early in the evening we used the screens to show music videos mixed with a Thank you slide show for the sponsors.


Video DJ is so much fun. It takes a great DJ performance and adds that visual element, to really get the crowd engaged in the party. I still get a kick out of watching the people as they dance, some people dance while they keep one eye on the screen watching the video of the song they're dancing to, others try to sneak peaks at the screen while trying not to ignore their dance partner.
