“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!” ~Jack Kerouac

i just stole this whole post from a conversation on cool because it made me so happy. i thought i'd throw up this coltrane track to accompany this post... locomotion was an all time favorite of kerouac and if you look at that photo, think about that quote, and listen to this track you will probably have a way better day!

wanna stay at the ace hotel in palm springs for free? wanna come to my brand new danceparty? great! i want you to come. i have two fireplace patio king rooms to giveaway and i want YOU TO TELL ME HOW TO DO IT! here is the deal, you come up with a certified genius contest (put it in the comments below) and you win one of the rooms, then we'll use your idea to give away the other room over on our labor of love and maybe over on max's blog... if you never win contests (like me) this is your chance!

sunday june 27th 10pm - close in the amigo room (the rad little bar by the restaurant). the funnest, most hilarious, exciting, completely bananas danceparty you will ever attend. if you want to make a weekend of it mention the flashdance when booking your rooms for an extra special discount! winners will be chosen on monday afternoon.

i'm starting a new industry danceparty at the ace in palm springs! it is the last sunday night of every month from 10pm - close in the little bar "the amigo room" it is perfect in every way for an industry danceparty! the bartenders are great, the sound is awesome, the size and style is perfect and, well whatever, i could go on and on.... most importantly it is gonna be really, really, REALLY fun! next week we'll have some free rooms to giveaway to people who want to come out and rock with us. june 27th is the kickoff and we have already convinced some pretty epic buddies to host a double birthday party so it is definitely going to be bananas!

i can't wait!

i would like to formally introduce to you the newest addition to the flashdance family...ashley meaders! what does she do, you ask? well, in a nutshell, she makes stuff and she gets stuff done. not so much a coordinator, but definitely a designer. ashley is a master at crafting atmosphere, environment, and details-details-details...a genius with that completely custom, handmade touch. i can promise you this, she is fun to work with and works tirelessly to get it right. if you want your event to have mojo, you can't go wrong. she'll help you from start to finish to give you a wedding that is completely you and unforgettably awesome. here is just a sampling of her work as seen on brooklyn bride, once wed, design*sponge, and many many more...

want ashley to make something for your wedding... email her here.

wppi was such a blast! and yes, we have a post coming up soon about all of that with video, photos, and audio, from the party... but the party wasn't the real reason we were there. we were really there because we were promoting all of the new smilebooth designs (including the travel booth!) we really want EVERYONE to have a something this fun at their wedding or event. even if you are a photographer, coordinator, or a dj you can still offer your clients the smilebooth. just e-mail us at hello@smilebooth.com to find out how.
