Rock Star 80's Prom
-792680.JPG)
For their holiday party last year, the Dallas office of Resulte' Universal brought in Rock Star, my new interactive show. Rock Star will have it's own website soon (these things take time, effort and money). Rock Star features a full set which encompasses the dance floor filled with tons of lights synchronized with the music, plasma screens showing music video and live feed of the party on the dance floor, and even has the option of up to eight "Party Enhancers"--people hired specifically to get your guests out there and dancing even more than normal!
The party's theme was an 80's prom, and everyone involved played it up! My office mate Cory Morrison of Cocktails and Caviar was hired to make it awesomely 80's, which included so many stars and mylar streamers, we felt like we were in the set of "Footloose." I hired a great photographer named Eddy Guevara to capture the evening. He took candids and also take "prom photos" in front of a set that Cory had created. Rock Star played up the 80's Prom Theme by playing all types of totally 80's music videos and we even had a "couples skate" slow-song at some point during the evening. Resulte' played up the theme by everyone dressing the part and they even named the Prom King and Queen. This theme will be so hot this next year too!
Resulte' had their holiday party at the beautiful Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco, TX. Susan Moore did a fabulous job making sure everything was taken care of!

Lori & Keith Minarik (Davies)
Last year Lori and Keith Minarik hired me to help them with their wedding reception held at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. Lori's parents lived here in the DFW area, but she met Keith in New York and the guests at the wedding were going to be from all over the country.
Their styles ended up being reflected in a wedding reception that flowed so much differently than what Texans might consider status quo. Following dinner, the party went into overdrive and we finally ended up calling it quits after a six hour reception!
At this reception I had a chance to work with a great videographer named Brian Cdebaca of Reflections Multimedia. Brian told me that he had put together "something special" highlighting my performance from that evening. Brian said, "I put the camera on the DJ and 99% of the time, I get a wave or a grin." Well, we were having a great time, so I showed Brian just how bad of a dancer I really am...
The caveat to watching this video is to understand, it was exactly the type of atmosphere that Lori and Keith wanted for their friends and loved ones. For those wishing to know what my lighting is capable of, this shows both lighting on the dance floor and uplighting around the Grand Ballroom of the Renaissance Worthington.
Enjoy the laugh, visit Brian's website because he's a great videographer, and I will post the "highlights" portion of this video soon to show you that the reception was just as formal as it was crazy.
