Exhibitchin’ #01
We worked on the first live music project in a series for EMP|SFM called ‘Exhibitchin’! It went hand in hand with the EMP|SFM’s Jim Henson exhibit, Jim Henson’s Fantastic Worlds. We held a “Drum Like Animal” competition to great success. Six sets of drum sticks were destroyed as twenty contestants battled for the title of Most Animalistic! DJ Electro Wolf spun all of the dance hits of the last few years, hilarious Muppetized album covers were projected on screen, rubber duckies were traded for drinks, and Dr. Bunsen whirled cotton candy on the dance floor. Later, costumed funk was blasted by Eldridge Gravy and the Court Supreme and then The Saturday Knights blew out the speakers while sending the crowd into lyrical gyrations. |

Shunpike Community Celebration
Over 80 people from the Shunpike community were present to mingle, drink and talk about their various projects. Many amazing artists, supporters, funders, and friends were on hand to gather around for some speeches from Shunpike board and staffers and kick off the fall arts season. Among the many attendees were representatives from Shunpike Partner Artists: Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival, dirty girl productions and many more. The Sole Repair Shop venue was equal parts sophistication and coziness as people from all over the city and state got pumped to win free tickets to see The Snow Project : New dance/sound/performance by choreographer Allison Van Dyck with sound by Kamran Sadeghi. |

Bridal Showcase
On January 13th, 2008 The Adventure School built a wedding show booth for Dr. Tamar Wishnatzky and Barbara Stern showcasing their work in pre-marital counseling. The Bridal Showcase was held in Sacramento at Cal Expo. The ‘Marriage Success Tools’ booth we designed and executed was sandwiched in between a DJ and a cupcake caterer. The showcase was housed in one of eight buildings overflowing with 6000 brides and lined with copious booths from professional California d.j.’s, bands, bridal salons, formalwear, cakes, photographers, videographers, florists, honeymoon sites, favors and invitations. The booth we created for Dr. Wishnatzky and Mrs. Stern was hub of activity and the only one of its kind. |

Noble Destiny – A Holiday Dance Party from 2012!
On December 23rd all sorts of rabble-rousers, merrymakers and mischief-bringers gathered together under one roof to dance off the extra holiday calories and trance out to the supersonic tunes to an incontrovertibly danceable conglomeration of DJ’s. Drink specials were of the hot “Holiday” variety and the kids were going nuts as Spencer Moody hocked wares from the Anne Bonny in the back and revelers danced on go-go platforms in front of DJ’s Bring “Em Out, Sam Rousso Soundsystem (of the popular, recently-defunct club night Ruff Gemz), Kendra is Magic of Dreamburger and NYC-based Rezound.
