show me your tiffs: 10 years of music photography by jenny jiménez from Patrick Richardson Wright on Vimeo.

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.

Tracy and Arthur’s wedding was a ton of fun. From the taco truck to the outdoor hookah lounge, this fun couple did it their way! Check out the photos of their amazing nuptials and PARTY! We helped these lovebirds with their Tish, Ketubah signing, ceremony, horah, Father of the Groom Bellydance Birthday Surprise, and major-rager Reception Dance Party.

At our The Corson Building Bastille Day Fete we welcomed over 350 people into a french village for a night (and day!) The party was bumping from 3 p.m. to the stroke of midnight. Kids, French people, scenesters, foodies, families, chickens, rockers, neighbors, crepe enthusiasts and dreamers all mingled together under a tri-color canopy of tissue-paper bursts playing games and eating delicious foods. The entertainment included Caspar Babypants aka Chris Ballew of The Presidents of the United States of America, Schoolyard Heroes, The Pharmacy and Can Can dancing by The beautiful Atomic Bombshells. Savory Corson crepes, oysters, and stew were eaten en masse and les boozes were enjoyed by all, including French specialties kir and pastis. Someone named Michelle won dinner cooked by Matt Dillon as a reward for supporting The Vera Project through buying some raffle tickets. Young and old alike went nuts in the Mungo Thomson Skyspace Bouncehouse (2007) provided by Western Bridge Gallery. Francosonic DeeDay Jack nee DJ Jacque ran a crazed dance floor while people made bike-powered spin-art, got psychic readings and particpated in chicken races. An epic fete for the ages.

We threw a patriotic bash for more than 1000 community members. The Cal Anderson Park Alliance hired us to produce their signature event to celebrate our nation’s favorite holiday, Independence Day! The event was free to all and featured free cotton candy, free root beer floats, free tie-dye, free spin art, free family portraits and a free root beer tasting garden. Bands played all day on the main stage including kids jammers Recess Monkey, urban Latin beat makers Picoso, Lo-fi pop from Katherine Hepburn’s Voice, and the funky soul sounds of Lady A and the Baby Blues Funk Band. Guests enjoyed pizza from Via Tribunali and dogs from Wandering Wieners. Caffe Vita served coffee and guests were free to participate in a hotly contested pie-eating contest and Pet/human look-alike contest. This was the celebration the founding father’s were waiting for!
