The Black and White Gig
December 31, 2009

For the past 17 years, I've thrown a year-end get together-party-bash-bender or as I call it, Gig. What better time of the year to bring family, friends, employees and industry heads together and say “thanks” for the support. We theme it each year and somehow have managed to keep the Black and White motif going on for a while. We kinda go all out and bring magicians, caricatures, DJ’s, open bar, taco guy, sushi bar and the infamous Photo Booth to the gig. I want to keep the 500+ people more entertained than just F-d up from all the booze. This year, the invite only party benefited the DJ Hideo Cancer fund. Instead of showing you all the debauchery, I’m going to forgo the party pictures and just show you some snipets of what happened in the Photo booth.

Rule #1, you're supposed to “pose” when the lights flash. Here’s an example of a crappy photo booth pict.

A lot of people didn’t know that there was a TV screen on top of the booth-hence whatever you did “inside” shows to everyone “outside.”

Damn, that dude with the hat is a jackass.

Its always interesting when you leave a large Xmas card out with markers so heads can write whatever on.

Why do people draw the same shit you use to do in elementary school? I have no idea. Until next year-Happy Holidays!
