Dear Gig: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Rae for making the 'OZ Ball' an oz-some evening. It was appreciated not only by our guests but by Harrah's family as well.

Dear Gig: Now that I finally have a day off where I am not rushing around trying to make preparations for the big event, I have the opportunity to sit back and recall the joy and laughter of Lauren's special weekend. Her Broadway Bat Mitzvah Party was truly a magical event. I cannot believe how you and your crew transformed our home into a party paradise, everything was so perfect. The entertainment was spectacular, the food was divine, the service was so professional and the atmosphere was fun, fanciful and elegant all at once. I am still receiving cards, calls and comments from our guests' all saying that they had the time of their lives. We want to thank you, Eddie and Rae for making Lauren's party an event we will always remember with a smile and a warm heart. You are the ultimate professionals and we look forward to working with you again soon. Jared's Bar Mitzvah is only 4 years away!!! Warm regards, Eileen Silver

Greetings Gig I don't know how you do it?. But I am glad you do! Seeing you at the entertainment helm each year is beginning to feel like an annual reunion. I am delighted that your involvement seems to have become an Auction Tradition. Your professional dedication, resourcefulness, patience, good humor and your uncanny ability to bring in sensational acts within our budget all have a wonderful grounding influence amidst the inherent chaos of Auction Week. Your ability to work effectively with a wide range of volunteer personalities is especially appreciated. Now that we have all settled back and Auction week is over, I want to thank you for all you have above and beyond the call of duty. I hope you feel great pride; satisfaction and relief (knowing that it is behind you) in knowing you played a vital role in shaping the most successful year in Napa Valley Wine Auction.

Dear Gig Thank you for doing such a tremendous job in providing entertainment for the Credence Customer Event. From the beginning of our conversation back in February, you have been resourceful, knowledgeable and altogether helpful in our effort to give Credence Customers a wonderful evening. Mary Wilson was fabulous and exciting and even the most conservative guests were tapping their feet. Behind the scenes your crew were not only expedient and professional but left the place spotless after all was torn down. The affair on our part was seamless and from our years in holding events, we know it must be due to your management of all aspects of the project. We look forward to working with you in the future. Sincerely, Diana Connolly and Laura Dahlbeck Indigo Bay

Dear Gig This letter was originally written on January 14th. I was very proud to think that I would give you your official thank you in an unusually timely manner. Would you believe that my dog ate all my letters? Would you believe that my one-year-old nephew scribbled on it with Crayola? Would you believe that a Martian came down from above and swiped them? How about that earthquake story? So my apologies for being so tardy in thanking you for your monumental efforts in making the Special Effects X Gala event so spectacular. Gig you were "Mr. Fixit" throughout this entire event. You were absolutely wonderful and without you this event would have never come off. On behalf of Special Event Magazine and Extraordinary Events, I thank you sincerely for all your assistance, all your creative suggestions and all of your support. Great website, it made my job so easy!!! Very truly yours, Andrea Michaels Executive Producer

Dear Gig et All: Thank you again for all your help in the planning of the World Cup Soccer Week. As usual, you hit the nail on the head with all my entertainment needs for each and every one of our special nights. It is a genuine pleasure working with such professionals as you. Just to have the security of knowing that the right entertainment has been selected for my events and to know that someone from your company will be there to make sure that everything goes smoothly, relieves the pressure of one more aspect of planning a successful event. Please feel free to give my name as a reference to any of your potential clients. It is a pleasure to be associated with you and your company, Sincerely, Suzanne Murdoch Corporate Director of Sales and Marketing

Dear Gig Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent job that you , your staff and the members of Big City Revue did for our annual party on March 11th. The band was a big hit, as was evidence by the number of people who continued to dance until the very end. You did a wonderful job of working within our time constraints and your flexibility was very much appreciated when our schedule got a bit off track. When our President commented about what a fantastic job I had dome, I knew the evening was a big success. Of course, most credit belongs to you and your staff. There really wasn?t much I had to worry about. As soon as I finalize the date for next year?s event, it is my intention to contact you to reserve Big City Revue again. Please pass along all my thanks to all who worked so hard for so long. It was a tremendous evening! Nancy Cash Executive Secretary

WOW is all we can say???? unbelievable how awesome MIDWEST COAST was. Every single inch of our dance floor was covered with people the entire night. Dave and I could not have dreamed of a better atmosphere for our wedding reception. Every single person we talked to said that Mid West Coast was the greatest band they'd ever come across at a wedding. Mike Morris and the guys exceeded by far any expectations or dreams we had. The talent, the energy, the ability to move a crowd up onto its feet and the little things (letting Dave play Rock n Roll with them) playing a special 'oldie' for Dave's aunt (who was widowed recently) made for a spectacular event. Gig, we are so pleased and we cherish the moments of the greatest night of our lives, thanks to you and Mid West Coast. We highly recommend A.E.C. and Mid West Coast for your reference list. We will certainly keep A.E.C. and Mid West Coast in mind for future events.

What can I say! This was definitely one of the best parties that Novell has had in quite awhile! I was very impressed with every aspect of the night including food, service, bands, games, location, easy access (loved the Valet especially in the rain!!) and the set up. The multi level food stations were placed just right, everything was easy to access. Did I mention my diet was totally ruined??? Everything was spectacular for a very special evening. Thank you for a wonderful time Brad Mason The party last Saturday night in my opinion is the best one that I have attended in 8 years. The place was decorated so well, the food was excellent and the band was cool. If this is the kind of party that Novell will be throwing every year, no rain can stop us from attending!!! Keep us the great work guys. Sonny DeLara Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time I had!! There was something for everyone. The Gift Center was beautifully decorated and lended a warm ambiance. The bands were awesome and I danced, danced and danced all night long. Accolades to the great team that planned this one!!! I am looking forward to the next ~ Susan Scott I have tried and tried to find something to complain about. The food was excellent, so many selections, the entertainment and music were wonderful. This company is very thorough in their planning. I as an attendee did not have any concerns. Arlene Dillard It was great!!! I have heard nothing but positive feedback from everyone who attended. Those who didn't make it really missed out. I have been here for 7 years and it was the best party on that scale that I have attended. Marilyn Doyle I just wanted to say this was the BEST EVER year-end party. I have been at Novell for 5 years and have been to 5 of them. 1. The band was GREAT 2. The food was GREAT and because it was manned all night, you were always able to get something hot to eat. People weren?t coming around taking your drinks when you went to dance. Very professional!! 3. The variety of activities was GREAT because when I didn't want to dance, I did the casino. What a good idea. 4. The Gift Center was small enough that it felt intimate, yet big enough that people weren't crowded. I had such a good time. Thank you so much!! Pam Eaken Just wanted to let you know that the year-end party we just had at the Gift Center was a blast. It was probably one of the better ones yet, if not the best, I've attended so far. The place was excellent and the food was to die for. Let me tell you I had to go t the gym last Sunday to work out the vast amount of food I ate. Congratulations AEC for doing such a wonderful job. The party was done so nicely. Like what they say after a very good meal, Compliments to the Chef. In this case, "Compliments to AEC" Wendy Javier Congratulations to all of you who worked on putting together thee absolutely, positively, 100% BEST party ever!!! I have been here for almost 8 years and never missed the year-end party, and I must tell you this one by far was the ABSOLUTE BEST. The ambiance was brilliant and the food was incredible. It was indeed an enchanted night in the City. Bob O'Casey

Re: LINUXCARE PARTY @ LINUXWORLD - February 2000 Dear Gig and the AEC Team: How can we thank you enough for such an incredible party at Jacob Javitz Convention Center in New York this past February? As you probable remember, the challenge with this event was creating an environment where 2000 very different guests, everyone from hard-core Linux techies to executive-level management, could have a great time. And I have to say that this party met and actually exceeded our expectations as to how much everyone enjoyed themselves. The room set up was amazing, the lighting and music created a truly cool and hip environment and it looked incredibly professional from the moment you walked in the door. I would like to extend a special thanks to everyone at AEC who made this party happen, not to mention Indigo Bay and Big Wave International teams. What an extraordinary group to have on our side! The party seemed to come off seamlessly and with all of the expertise and organization of those in charge, you made Linuxcare look good. We will without a doubt use AEC, for any and all future events of this scale as well as recommend you talented folks to anyone looking to create a truly unique and professional event. I cannot imagine anyone who could do a more fantastic job!! Melissa Reuther Marketing Communications Program Manager Linuxcare Inc.
