Now that I’ve worked in that overwhelmingly clever post title, I can get on with my overdue recap of last week’s fun: CiN Weekly‘s 5th Anniversary Bash at Jefferson Hall! I had a blast working with Reagan (Marketing Partnership Manager at Enquirer Media) on this project – truly, you can’t go wrong with a Vegas theme. We brought in a variety of casino games from Academy Rentals for the VIP portion of the evening, and Courtenay Lambert created some wonderfully over-the-top, showgirl-inspired centerpieces! All that partnered with the lighting from CSC transformed JHall from just a regular bar to a true night in Vegas. Of course, no trip to Vegas is complete without Elvis, so we made sure he was there to snap a photo with everyone. DJ Toad played the first part of the evening (during which a special video by Glass Eye played overhead) and the Rusty Griswolds performed during the public portion of the party. Best of all, two trips to Vegas were given away! Sadly as a behind-the-scenes worker on this event I wasn’t eligible to win. Maybe next time ;)

Please forgive my truly terrible photography! My next two purchases will be a new digital camera and a Flip video. Any recommendations for cameras?? Leave suggestions, please!
