The Special Event Show Day One Re-cap

OK, So I saw a lot of crazy things and was surprised that there were only two booths in the entire convention center that had any type of bio / green / sustainable party product. BOO! We're going to change that! But anyways, there were table decorations, balloon artists, delivery truck guys in a tutu, and so much more...it's cool to be around other special event people and see the ideas that they're making reality. I also went to this seminar and saw a presentation on a 3d projection system without glasses that a production house called CMS used for Siemens, HP, and Radio Shack. Pretty awesome. I'll be visiting their offices sometime in the near future and will report more on that later.

The opening night party DIVA BLING was insane. Produced by Charles Banfield, it had a living water fountain, gorillas, Eartha Kitt singing on her 80th birthday, and some sassy costumes.

A quick slideshow can be seen here.

Plum Party - Online Decoration Source

I was looking around for some New Year's Eve party hats and went on a gem of a site, plumparty.com and not only found some fun hats, but some cocktail napkins, favors, books.....They have over 3,500 party items and more than 500 vendors of very cute and now party products on the site that is organized nicely by both theme and item. They also have a specialty section with Andy Warhol and Jonathan Adler products, amongst others. For event planners, they have a corporate services section that will hunt down any product that you're looking for....very nice.

Pink Cloud Events Update

So yesterday I attended an all-committee meeting for the Olive Crest food & wine tasting fundraiser in Oct '07 and it sounds like they have a very ambitious and exciting program lined up. Over 45 wine vendors, 20 gourmet restaurants, and 20 artists will be showcasing their delicious goods to a group of 500+ patrons at the Balboa Bay Club. I'm chairing their entertainment committee which will be in charge of decor, music, day-of volunteers and the artists.
