For my wedding (6/11/16) I needed every moment to be setup with the soundtrack of my wife's and my relationship. I had very specific moods and tones I wanted for each part of the wedding. Strings for the pre-ceremony, slightly upbeat indie for the cocktail hour, slow and moody for the dinner, and full on party for open dance. I sent a list of songs I wanted played and Nguyen and Jordan were able to seamlessly fill in the rest. During the processional they didn't miss a beat with the music queues. They were able to work hand in hand with my coordinator to stick to our schedule and when it came to emcee they did so clearly and professionally. Open dance was a dream, they live mixed all the music and kept the party going until the very end. They were able to read the floor and adjust to keep the energy high and the party banging. I received many compliments from my guests noting the song selection and atmosphere created from pre-ceremony to the last song. Nguyen was always very responsive and answered all requests and questions we had. The guys from Black Book Social Club are true professionals who also know how to fuel a killer party.

It was just an insane experience a friend of mine put together a networking event for designers, etc. and Moe came in there and was just telling everyone to get the fuck out and he snatched the microphone out of this woman's hands while she was trying to make the announcement for people to leave because he was unhappy, but the venue was professionally the event was very calm, relaxed, and everyone was happily networking. There was nothing wrong going so came in and started shouting and cursing, and snatched the microphone out of her hands, which was insane. He yelled in her face like an abusive man.

These one-star reviews are ridiculous this is the nicest gym in LA…read more Absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean facilities, a wonderful varied slate of classes (yes, you need to sign up in advance -- I don't know why this is news to people frustrated that you "can't get in," trust me, you can if you actually sign up when the classes go live), gorgeous locker rooms and pool area. Very kind and knowledgeable instructors and friendly staff, and it's not overrun with annoying people and ring-light influencers which is nothing short of an accomplishment in a specialty gym in this neighborhood. It feels relaxed and like there is privacy and mutual respect. The only detraction of one star is that the restaurant has really confusing hours and has sort of been a non-concept for months on end now. You should be able to get a drink after 5 p.m., otherwise what's the point of belonging to a gym with a beautiful bar and restaurant?

I have been attending Club 21 Toastmasters' meetings for over a year now, and I can honestly say…read morethat the decision to join has been one of the greatest investments I've ever made in myself. Having just recently completed a master's degree at UCLA, I continually found myself thinking that the growth I've achieved from my 2 hour-per-week commitment to my club far exceeded my feelings of accomplishment at the more formal institution of learning. I first showed up at Club 21 because I suffer from what sometimes feels like a crippling fear of speaking. Prior to joining Club 21, I HATED public speaking, and my feelings of anxiety extended to other forms of formal speaking as well- such as conducting myself in interviews and meetings. While I can't say that my speaking-phobia has disappeared, my feelings at the lectern have become more nuanced; rather than experiencing pure terror, I now feel a mix of fear and sheer exhilaration at the opportunity to address a room of attentive listeners. It is such an incredible feeling- I often drive away from meetings feeling more confident and empowered than I ever had before. The club members are quite an interesting mix of people. There are folks of all ages and from many walks of life, but they all share one common characteristic- everyone is incredibly supportive. If you decide to attend a meeting, your hands will get a workout; we do a hell of a lot of clapping. Not only that, but the Toastmasters program offers countless opportunities for evaluation and feedback. After presenting a speech, you will receive a formal spoken evaluation, a written evaluation, and feedback cards from most members of the club... not to mention a lot of pats on the back. I really can't emphasize enough how wonderful this club is. I think the Toastmasters program in general is pretty fantastic, but I like to think that our club is exceptionally special, as well. But the only way for you to discover that is to come check it out for yourself. So please do: Tuesdays at 7PM at Delores Bakery and Cafe in West LA/Santa Monica. I look forward to seeing you there!

Guy Fawkes Conservatory…read more.... Yes, it sounds kinda... well...whack.... yet it's very intriguing, so my inner "geekiness" convinced me to sign up for adult kickball. However, there are some perks to playing adult kickball, that was never included or allowed as a youngster..... #1 Lots of Beer for cheap.... #2 Lots of cursing..... #3 Lots of gloating..... #4 Lots of cool ass team names, except my team and a few others....lol. Played a couple of years ago and is great exercise, but my team expected way too much by wanting to practice all of the time (like twice a week! + 1 game a week)), which many teams did not do and still won many games (some took it way too seriously though)... but to be honest, I just had too many other things going on I felt were more important, like now, so I didn't give my team a fair chance to bond and grow with. If you DO ever decide to sign up (like $60+ bucks for a t-shirt, be assigned a team & meet cool people for about 10+ games), sign up for a team with a group or at least a couple of people YOU ALREADY KNOW & HANG WITH...... it's kind of "clickish", in a Dungeons & Dragons way. Have you ever seen the movie, "Role Models"?....If so, you know what I mean..... if not....hello?! Netflix....lol. Plus, many of the players are in 2-3 other kickball leagues with one another and have played with the same people for years.

My girlfriend and I were looking to find a league to meet some people and have some fun. What we…read morefound instead is a system built entirely around greed and profit at the expense of its customers. There is nothing that these guys do that is in the interest of their members and everything is for stuffing as much money in their pockets while they laugh at the idiots (myself included) that join their leagues. First and biggest problem, there is a minimum of TWENTY-SIX PEOPLE ON A TEAM!!! Let me reiterate, TWENTY-SIX. When I asked at the beginning of the season why there were so many people on a team, their response was "because people tend to quit or not show up". How right she was. You know why they quit and don't show up? Because there are 26 people on the team and you spend more time watching than playing! Lets do some math. The games are five innings. There are three outs in an inning, which means there are 15 outs per team in a game. There are 26 people on a team. That means, it is possible for 11 people on your team to not even get to bat once in a game! And to ensure that everyone gets an at bat, you need to get a minimum of 10 hits in a 5 inning game. I NEVER once got more than one at bat. The league cost $70 and I got a total of 7 at bats for a cost of $10 per at bat. Ridiculous. The league makes $1,820 per team so they hire the best referees possible. You know who those refs are? YOU! Thats right, you get to pay money to play in a league where YOU have to work! And if you don't want to ref, your team has to forfeit games. This leads to wonderful things. People who are being forced to referee games that don't have even a basic understanding of the rules. Referees making calls that are biased and favorable to their team. And even worse, people extracting revenge on teams that either beat them, or made bad calls against them when they get to ref their games. But the greed and fun don't stop there! How can you make more money from one field? Waka figured it out! Put TWO games on the same fiend at the same time! Genius! So, one game would be going on on an actual baseball field (you know with crazy things like bases and foul lines?) and the other game would be played at the exact same time in the OUTFIELD! The two games proceed simultaneously with the games kick at each other which results in balls flying into your game while you're playing which is not only stupid and annoying, but dangerous. The outfield games had bases that were placed arbitrarily and turned into an absolute mud pit by the end of the season. I am ashamed to say that I gave my money to these crooks, do yourself a favor and learn from my mistakes.
