Busy today

Hope you had a great day today!

Spent most of the day updating the music collection, getting new music from iTunes and other sources. I got all of the national music charts up-to-date; tomorrow or early next week I will pick up the local music charts. It's all an effort to get ready for JEN & MARK'S wedding next week!

In the evening, I was on youtube watching concert videos. Why? To get ideas from lighting designers! A lot of the designs they use can readily be adapted to a wedding performance, particularly during the dance portion.

This one's pretty cool.





Since we're talking about lighting, it's a great way to talk about today's Wedding Tip Of The Day. This one falls under the Fun and Memorable categories.

When it's time to dance, insist that the caterer turn off the lights over the dancefloor, and if possible, throughout the ballroom. Why? People would rather dance when it's dark. If there is too much light, most people won't venture over to the dancefloor for fear of being identified and becoming the subject of gossip the next day. Think of the last concert you went to. The stage area was lit, but where you were in the audience...dark, no? If it's dark enough, it may even encourage your Aunt Mildred, who never dances, to actually come to the dancefloor to let loose! If it's dark enough, she may unleash her inner Donna Summers!

Keep on dancing,
