NOT YOUR TYPICAL...Wedding Party Bridal Show - March 8th -Video DJ

The show was a huge hit! Anseth Richards of the Bridal Bar San Diego (www.bridalbar.com) orchestrates a very special approach to the standard bridal show we've all seen again and again. It's an open area/party style format complete with music, food, decor and fun. This show was held at the new Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel. The party was on the 4th floor patio area.
I was showcasing Video DJ (www.mobilemusicplus.com) with 4 screens. The doors opened at noon and almost immediately, we saw a lot of brides and guests coming out and sitting on the lounge furniture provided by Plush Impressions, enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather. French Gourmet provided the Bar and Mini Slider, food station. Our friends at LA Photo Party (www.laphotoparty.com) were taking our fun & upbeat music atmosphere and turning it into a fashion show photo shoot. It was a lot of fun, attendees were coming to visit the patio, hanging out for awhile, then going to visit the booths inside the main room, then returning back out to eat drink and sit int he sun. At 5pm the show ended and we hosted the vendor/exhibitor appreciation party.... Its a real compliment when wedding and special event professionals come out and you can see that they are really enjoying the music and atmosphere. Since their job takes them into parties on a regular basis and it usually takes a lot to entertain them.

Dr. Boogie Hooks up the Magic 92.5 FM Hook Up Cruise


My 10 years with Magic 92.5 has been a lot of fun. You can hear me Monday - Friday at 5pm for the "Traffic Jam" with Xavier the X Man www.xavierthexman.com . Several times each year, Morning Show hosts Jagger & Christie host listener events. Most recently was the Valentine's Hook up cruise. Another word for a single's cruise on board one of the Hornblower Cruises and Events Company's boats on the bay. Our Listeners always show up ready to have fun and this time was no exception.

Animal House / Faber College Theme Party - Video DJ




This Birthday party for Tom's 50th was a Toga theme party, fashioned after the Animal House Movie, and WOW! the guests at this party really got into it. College Sweaters and creatively designed togas were everywhere.


I brought in the Video DJ system and dual 42" LCD screens for entertainment and played 50's and 60's music videos. This party really gave me a chance to show what the video DJ can do. All of the unique music videos that aren't available to the general public, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, the Mamas & the Papas, James Brown and more. As the party progressed I included some other genres of dance music too but with the Animal House Theme I had to play "Shout" by the Otis Day and the Knights. Most danced, some watched... When I see people staring in amazement at the screens not able to believe that I have the videos that I have or in disbelief of the quality of those videos, I don't know which... but it's really one of the coolest parts of what I do. SDGE told the party hosts that power would be turned off between 10-10:30 for scheduled work on the system. A special generator was brought in just to keep the party going. We had such a great time, that before we knew it the party was at its scheduled end time. That left us with no choice but to go longer... This one would've made Dean Wormer jealous.

"The Special Event" is coming





THE SPECIAL EVENT is an international trade show that showcases what's new in the special event world http://www.thespecialeventshow.com/ . Nearly 9000 event professionals from around the world will attend to see everything from new table linens to Ground Breaking New Entertainment and everything in between. It includes 3 days of educational seminars and feature parties that showcase different segments of the industry. This year the show is right here in San Diego, Jan 28-30.


I am very excited to announce that I will be featured at the "Wedding Luncheon" Jan 28th. It is THE exhibit party to attend. Corporate and Wedding related professionals alike attend the sold out show to see the innovative new designs and hot new trends. This year's luncheon will be at the HardRock Hotel with Video DJ leading the way as doors open for 550 guests. A top notch team (lead by Peggy Jewell of Jewell Entertainment and Rachel Peniche of Plan It San Diego) has worked for months to overlook no detail in the planning of this one of a kind event.


I will also be exhibiting on the trade show floor, to give attendees a chance to see "Video DJ - Music Like You've Never Seen!" up close and ask questions. If you'd like passes to attend the exhibit hall, please contact me for more information.

Special event - Wedding Luncheon


The Wedding Luncheon was a huge success, I was proud to be featured in 2 rooms.



Hard Rock Hotel - "The Edge" - Display galleries showcased the latest in room and table top design trends, for an elegant yet modern approach to music for the next generation, I provided an assortment of selections from the Vitamin String Quartet. A string quartet that interprets a wide variety of Rock Songs including songs originally by the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to U2 and Korn. It really very unique and can be quite elegant. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for something new and unique for their wedding.



Hard Rock Hotel - "The Legends" - The main event: Lunch Seating for 600, Video DJ as the entrance music, Founder of the theknot.com -Carley Roney as the keynote speaker and a special performance by an up and coming 14 year old singer who delivered a version of "Zing went the Strings of My Heart" that would've made Judy Garland proud. VIDEO DJ was a huge hit. As the doors open and guests poured in, I played a soft but upbeat, cocktail reception like mix that included Neil Diamond and the Beatles. I softened the music during Lunch by incorporating Music Videos from Nora Jones, Dean Martin and Frank Siantra. As the event came toward it's end, I picked up the pace with more upbeat dancable music like Justin Timberlake, The BeeGees and AC/DC. The goal of the show producers was to wow the guests with something they hadn't seen before. I can safely say we accomplished that goal. I received many compliments and inquiries both at the show and in the exhibit hall area.

Video DJ for Seal Team 3










Seal team 3 had their 25th Anniversary party in the Oceanfront Ballroom at the Hotel Del Coronado. For Entertainment I provided Video DJ with an 8'x 6' projection screen on stage with (2) 42" flatscreens near the dancefloor. It really looked great, it gave it that look of a well orchestrated full production event. They started off with some basic background during dinner as well as many of the military traditions and toasts. This 25th Anniversary of Seal Team 3 was attended by many of the past members including most of the commanding officers of the Team over its 25 year history. It was very humbling to be in a room full of men and women that were so vital in the protection of this great country. The guests really had a great time, they danced and were really into the music videos, in most of the photos you can see at least 1 perosn in the photo looking at the screens to watch the videos.
