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.

LA scenesters unite for public transportation

I went to this partylast night and unfortunately forgot the camera, but ran into Jason Saunders, artist and founder of the gallery /event space / artists co-op Basswerks, who did have a camera and hopefully he'll come on and post some pics soon.

The concept of this benefit for the Metrolink was great, but the execution was sadly disappointing. Your ticket to enter this party was to take some point of public transportation in and show your pass, but of course this wasn't enforced. We went along for the train ride, though, and were very surprised to see how clean and empty the Pershing Square station was. Union Station is beautiful, and this 1938 mammoth structure was complemented in the venue area by projections, a circular stage set-up and hundreds of scenesters in support of public transportation (or the promise of a good party). It's too bad that Shepard Fairey's dj set was so disconnected from the crowd and the space, and the bands were some generic brand of rock that I personally wasn't into because this place was set-up for some major fun.
