Usually with larger hotels it is very difficult getting the gear into the room however hotel staff let me park in shipping and recieving and it was a short walk to the service elevator. So much easier then sharing elevators with hotel guests let me tell you!
Jeff Day the housekeeping manager hired me for the gig and he did an excellent job of organizing the event. The room was clad with black drapery with LED lights shining through tubes of colored fabrics adding a real nice touch. The table set-ups were immaculate giving it that touch of class fit for a king and queen or for tonight the hard working hotel staff...

Jeff also hired an illusionist to perform during dinner. Vladomir the Magnificent did a handfull of tricks with his act very comedic at times. I was impressed with his table trick shown below...

Another nice touch was the use of the projector. We had several movies playing during the night. Dance favorites...Footloose and Dirty Dancing made the movie playlist and I couldn't help but to throw on Breakin' a movie from 1984 about the world of breakdancing....horrible movie...lol. Thinking back though Saturday Night Fever would have been even better. Travolta rocks...but I digress...
The hotel staff ethnicity was varied bringing with it different musical tastes. Top40 was still the common theme with some reggae and latin thrown into the mix. Dinner started at 8pm so by the time dinner finished I only had around 2 hours to play since they wanted to close down early to prep for some big events the next day. I only wish I had more Calypso music with me. I played "Follow the Leader" which was probably the track of the night bringing everyone together on the dance floor. But that track along with "Hot Hot Hot" is a rather (poor) selection of Calypso a genre I am lacking severely...but I am working on fixing that!

Pitbull's "Shake Senora", Don Omar's "Danza Koduro" and "Lengon" by Banda Blanca also seemed to be the crowd pleasers on the night. I have to say I had a great time. The staff was there to enjoy themselves. They were super nice and very hospitable. Probably why they are employed by the hotel to begin with. I am hopefull for some future events with this group and am thankfull to Jeff for hiring me.
