Fairhope High School Prom

3/28/09. Tonight we traveled four hours south to Fairhope, Alabama for Fairhope High Schools Prom. We needed 4 hours to set up for this gig for the extra lighting and sound. These kids were great and understanding due to limitations put on us by the school itself. Keep on Rockin' Fairhope. Go Pirates!

Jan Hall's 50th Birthday Party

3/20/09. Tonight I was off to Brookwood, AL (which sounds alot closer than it is) for Jan Hall's very special 50th Birthday party. Jan was one of the sweetest people who has surrounded herself with an excellent loving cast of characters. The party started off a little slow but after a couple of hours of an open bar the gloves came off and the gauntlet was thrown down. I was suppose to stop playing at 10:30 but these folks wouldn't let me leave until after 12:00. Rock on Brookwood! Happy Birthday Jan!

Ingram / Moses Reception


3/14/09. Tonight was Monica and Eric Moses wedding reception. I traveled all the way to Anniston Country Club for this magical evening. Eric and Monica have been together for over 8 years and finally tied the proverbial knot today. The setup inside the country club was amazing. The decorations along with the Feel The Beat lighting design really set the room off. It made for some really good pictures. An addition, all of their guests were into the moment and music all night. They even kept me 30 minutes overtime. Great party and Congratulations Eric and Monica.

Mary Wills Sweet 16


3/07/09. Tonight it was off to Truss Vegas for Mary Wills' sweet 16 birthday party. It took place at Carrington Lakes Club House which was a really nice place to have a party.

John and Katie's Rehearsal Dinner


3/6/9. Tonight was John and Katie's rehearsal dinner and they called upon Feel The Beat to deliver the entertainment goods. On the menu tonight... Steak, shrimp and Game Show Mania. We developed a game board based upon John and Katie's relationship together and put the bridesmaids against the groomsmen. The bridesmaids took off to a commanding lead until the groomsmen named "Goose" took the podium. The men ended up doubling the bridesmaids points and getting the final answer to secure a win. Congrats Guys and Congrats Cali and Katie!

GSM - Brookdale Place


2/27/09. Today I drove north to Huntsville for another installment of Game Show Mania. Today I was featured at Brookdale Place Jones Farms. This is a retirement community so I had to do a lot of research on the 1940's and 50's just to make sure I could design enough game boards to accomidate a much older audience. Everything went fantasticly well. We played 4 rounds of championship "Jeopardy" and a few rounds of "Let's Make A Deal". We gave away a lot of prizes and crowned the first Brookdale Game Show Maniac: Cal! Congratulations Cal and look forward to seeing you guys in April.

Game Show Mania - Papa Saia's


2/26/09 - After 15 months at Papa Saia's tonight would be a night to remember because, this was our final night for GSM here. With all the regulars battling it out for one last chance at the belt this game would prove to be interesting. In another shocker for GSM, Desmond who has never won a qualifying stepped up and not only won her round, but won the Gold. Congrats Desmond and thank you to everyone at Papa Saia's for such a wonderful run.

Karaoke @ Papa Saia's

2/25/09 - Another great night at Papa Saia's. I couldn't stop these people from singing even if Simon Cowell were in the room. This is the place to go for great drink specials and good people to cheer you on.
