As a kid that grew up in the 80s, one of the biggest rock bands of the decade was certainly Van Halen. Prior to becoming a DJ and entertaining master of ceremonies, I was a rocker at heart. I played several musical instruments growing up, including violin, guitar, and bass guitar -- not well enough to make a living, but I knew how to play. There's no doubt that Van Halen was a band that had an influence on me, even my first guitar was a pawn shop Flying V replica. Sad to hear of another star passing of cancer, and age still seems so young. R.I.P Eddie Van Halen https://www.tmz.com///eddie-van-halen-dead-dies-cancer-65/

Did you know we’ve worked just three games of DJ Trivia since March 15th? Yup. That same weekend was my last planning meeting for a wedding scheduled for April 4th (now rescheduled for 2021). In fact, my company has so far had to cancel or postpone 243 events as of this week due to state mandates over the coronavirus. Please take the time to read this story. So many people are behind the scenes at an event, many you purposefully do not see, and none of those things are happ...ening now. #WishIWasThere https://www.bizbash.com//the-live-events-coalition-is-host

Credit goes to wedding industry blogger and leader Alan Berg Certified Speaking Professional who pointed out that "this blog states, very well, about why wedding pros can, are and should be keeping retainers and deposits." FWIW - We have done everything in our power to reschedule clients with no penalties to available dates throughout the end of 2021. Perhaps the one line from this story that drives it home for all wedding/event pros: "We may be rescheduling an entire year’s worth of weddings and, with all of those rescheduled weddings, we won’t have the availability to book any new clients in 2021."

Just patiently waiting to get the green light on coordinating fabulous weddings again! We hope all of our friends out there are staying healthy and safe. ...

I love this contest!

When people ask me why I believe the Arts are so important in K12, this is one reason why. I love STEM, but it really should be STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics). Without the Arts, I would have never grown up to become who I am today. This is a video from Weston Ranch High School, not to far away from me in Stockton, California. Enjoy. ... https://youtu.be/TZcq3kqAsuE

Just one of many trainings over the years.

This movie had such an impact on my childhood. Creativity in quarantine is entertaining! https://www.ksl.com//have-you-seen-this-father-daughter-du

It seems to reason that the larger Corporate Event space will look different for a much longer time than Weddings and other private parties. Navigating a major event online is still quite a task, and one that having a seasoned Master of Ceremonies, DJ, or other entertainer on hand can bring some energy and life to the event... Yes, even for an online one. Stay clear of the dry and boring, bring in some fun and excitement with a professional. Drop us a line if you're planning an online webinar or other events that could use some added entertainment or host.

Thank you @stickermule for the great new logo stickers and face masks. These will surely come in handy as California emerges and let’s us DJ weddings and events again! We’re looking to use these with @djtriviasacto hosts as well once we get that going again too.
