Wearing Uniforms for Weddings and Parties

January 2, 2010

Two topics in today’s post.  First, what a cute kid!  I loved my Cub Scout uniform.  It was probably not my first uniform, certainly not my last.  Do you wear a uniform?  It can be useful to think we’re always wearing one. Whatever we wear is a uniform that reminds us about who we are, [...]

High Hopes for Weddings and Parties

December 20, 2009

Heard this one?  Hoping to fly at last, John leaps off the top of the Empire State Building, despite dire warnings from his friends.  As he plummets past the fortieth floor, he thinks, “So far, so good.” The moral:  It’s nice to be optimistic, but, hey, plan ahead and watch where you’re going. Like it [...]

What We’ll Never Know About Tiger Woods, and Why It Matters

December 2, 2009

Here we are chatting with a guest at last month’s “Soup Kitchen Dinner”.  Thanks to Stacie Tamaki for the nice photo — more pictures on her blog. In recent weeks, several of my best colleagues (Nicole Lisanne, Amy Frugoli, and Andrew Hsu) wrote wonderful, detailed accounts about the benefits they bring their clients’ celebrations.  I [...]

Videos for Weddings and Parties

November 23, 2009

Here’s a question for you.  Who do you know who does weddings? “Look, I’m the only one here who actually does weddings.  The rest of you — event planners, wedding coordinators, photographers, videographers, caterers, florists, or DJs — just help.”  So jokes my friend, Rev. Layne Kulwin, and he’s a minister, so I guess he’s [...]

Weddings and Parties: "Keep On Keeping On"

November 13, 2009

Here we are last September, at the Coyote Creek Golf Course, entertaining at the Citti Family Annual Golf Invitational’s cocktail party.  One of those nice hot days when we get to play in shirtsleeves.  It was a grand afternoon, and toward the end my friend, DJ and photographer, Jordan Sofris (Jordan River Productions) caught me [...]

The Endless Search for Weddings and Parties

November 7, 2009

Here we are last week, setting the perfect mood for the San Jose Hilton’s pre-holiday luncheon for event planners.  For years, we’ve been helping Silicon Valley’s best facilities this way.  What we do gives their guests a memorable time.  The hotel is likely to book a few more parties and weddings, and we’re likely to [...]

Something New to Jazz Up Parties and Weddings

October 14, 2009

Here I am with two friends. We’re demonstrating a relatively new addition to the arsenal of party “supplies”. In recent years, photographers, DJs, and others have begun offering photo booths to liven up special events.  (You, too?  Not me, but stay tuned.)  The good-looking fellow with me is Scott Vlha, of Doorstep Photo, one of [...]

Oh, so THAT’s why people have children!

October 5, 2009

A valuable perspective on communicating with social media.  But first, a personal note: Here’s my wife and her mother, who is now living with us.  My mother-in-law is pretty ill. Taking care of her gives me lots of opportunities to practice organizing details, listening carefully, and planning ahead.  I also learn valuable lessons of kindness, [...]

Please Join the Conversation

September 28, 2009

Short and sweet. That’s one of the best blogging goals my friends recommend.  Keep your posts eye-catching, easy to read, and begging for a reply. So for now I’m taking their advice and keeping it simple.  For the past two years, all my posts tended to be wordy.  Starting now this changes.  After all, this [...]
