Lucent L'amour 2010





It's hard to put this epic night into words..... Amazing, rare, priceless!


After working on the promotions for over 3 months and helping get people from all over California excited about it, I was eager to see who would be coming, and how they would enjoy what The Do LaB had created.


The time for LUCENT L'AMOUR had arrived!!


The moment I stepped foot into the space, I was gitty with glee! Soooo much to SEE, HEAR & EXPERIENCE!


First and for most, I was very lucky to be spending the night with my valentine. She was kind enough to give me a spiffy new haircut and made me a fresh heart for my shirt. I was sportin some pinstripe slacks too (keep it fresh gents)!


The event itself, flew by in whirlwind of excitement. Every step I took, I saw something new, something creative, and the harder I looked the more creativity I saw.

The music was amazing! World class all the way, every single act!

The installations, interactive environments, and giant sculptures were from beyond wonderland!

And the art was happening everywhere, at the same time, times 100!!!



I spent most of the night making sure that my friends and my team were having a good night, and it seemed like smiles all around!


Then in a flash, it was all over!


Hours and hours of music, art, performance, and thousands of smiling faces....

just an echo in my ear, and a flash when I blink!


.... was this all a dream?

Work vs Play

For most of my professional career these two things have usually been at odds.

But not until recently (last few years) have I managed to bring these two things together to a point where work = play and play = work.


It's with some very wonderful luck and personal dedication that I have been given a chance to work with The Do LaB!

Today, I've been looking through almost a thousands pictures from Lucent L'amour (our big Valentines music and art festival) and I am almost overcome with tears of joy. Seriously.


Bless up!!


[ps... slideshow coming soon to my Lucent L'amour post.]
