Dear Charles, We wanted to thank you so much for making my wedding memorable and fun. Your music was instrumental in making the party entertaining for all the guests. You were very professional and easy to work with. Your band was top notch with lots of energy and variety. The voices were excellent and the instrumentation was fabulous. You handled the fall very well and revved it up nicely after she left. We were very impressed with the way you handled this unexpected event and chose to turn the mood around and make the party even more fun. My family and I would hire you again in a heart beat and have great memories of our wedding. Thanks again, Alexis and Shawn

What A Great Band! Big City Revue Rocks! Hi Gig, Just wanted to say thanks for hooking us up with Big City Revue. WOW! We had so many positive comments that I can imagine more business coming your way. They were professional, and at every turn told me not to worry and just enjoy the party. The songs were perfect. Every member of the band was money. They knew what I liked and they tailored the songs beautifully. Their set up man, Michael, helped out to set up sound for the mic, the slide show, and mood music through the iPOD. I can't wait for the next event when I need a band. Working with you was great! You are a detailed man and Libby and I appreciate that. You run a class act. Take care, Fred - A new member of the 40 year old club You know, Libby will be 40 someday?

Eddie: Thank you very much for being such big help in putting together the dance contest for the American Express event. By all accounts, it was a huge success! I just wish that I had been able to experience more of it. I came down briefly during Round 1 and saw that the folks were really into it. I hope that Charles and the rest of the band had a good time. Please pass along my sincere thanks to Big City Revue for the excellent job that they did. I have enclosed a huge tip for them! Thanks again for everything and I look forward to our next opportunity to work together. Sincerely, Zack Strober Mana, Allison & Associates

July 13, 2004 Gig, I am pleased to take a moment to write this long overdue letter of recognition and appreciation for all that you and your crews have done to elevate the quality and professionalism of our 'Town Hall Meeting' series. When I took over this department, the THM's at Genentech were dreadful. Faced with tight budget and the horrible constraints of building # 21, you have been able to significantly improve the look, feel and overall attendee experience of this meeting. Of particular note: ' You have been very consultative with ideas to make 'space challenges' (no heat, no air conditioning, noise, rattling doors) be less of a factor ' Your team has been very flexible and added great value to improve the production with creative use of lighting, appropriate sound amplification and more appropriate staging solutions ' Flexibility has been a key word as we make scheduling and program changes up to the final morning of these programs Please extend my thanks to Jim, John and your entire crew. I actually look forward to next week's meeting (something I could not have said 24 months ago!) I'll see you then. Sincerely, Michael Mahoney Senior Manager, Meetings & Events Genentech / Bio Oncology

Hi Gig, I wanted to thank you so much for setting us up with Busta Groove for our 5/30 Napa wedding. Busta Groove rocked and all of the guests loved them. Ian, the bandleader, was very cool and professional. He was not only a great lead singer but a fun mc. The rest of the band was great too. The true test of how good they were was when the power went down a couple times at the end of the night, they continued to play and people continued to dance. I think some bands would have packed it up and gone home. Our wedding was beautiful and a blast and Busta Groove played a big part in it! Thanks again. Best, Kristin Kalush & Dave Rich

Hi Rae, I'm still recovering from the party and going to New Orleans after for a few days. The band was amazing - everyone is still talking about them. They held me so beautifully and put up with my neurosis beautifully! I really let loose singing! We even got a standing ovation after Fly Me To The Moon! I really appreciated Harold transposing the song in my key. Anyhow, the band played their hearts out all night long. Thank you all again - Robin

Just wanted to send you a note of thanks for passing Masterpiece my way! They were great! I had a lot of compliments on the band and the music. Infact, my boss who was there for my wedding said that he would definitely consider having them perform at our next holiday party! Please relay my thanks to them. They were great (especially considering that I hadn't had a chance to talk to anyone). They winged it and were perfect. Please let them know that I think they have another gig in December for our holiday party. For what we were paying Pride and Joy, we would definitely pay for Masterpiece. Thanks as well to Al Marshall. His trio was excellent. They were great sports as well to have Chris' uncle (a sax player and teacher for music at Northeast University) jam with them for a couple of songs. He enjoyed himself. Gig - I truly look forward to working with you for all of our musical needs. Thanks again! Warm regards, Moki Moki L. Evans Executive Assistant to Exec. VP and COO Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Dear Gig ~ Thank you very much for your donation of two performers, a wandering violinist and a magician, to the Private Preview. It was an elegant touch and added to the festivity of the evening. The violinist started a few minutes before the guests arrived and also helped to sooth the nerves of those of us trying to make all the last minute preparations. Magician, with his chocolate kisses, was a big hit with all the ladies! The event attracted more than 200 guests and raided over $24,000! Your participation enables Artspan to offer valuable programs such as San Francisco Open Studios and Art for the Inner City Youth to hundreds of artists, thousands of youth and the public. Again, we extend our sincere gratitude for your support of the Private Preview and all of the Artspan programs. This was our best Private Preview ever and we could not have done it without you! Best Wishes, Petra Schumann / Camille Hill Executive Director / Program Coordinator

Eddie, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Last night's event was a true success and I couldn't have pulled it off without you. I truly appreciated all of your thoughts and expertise that went into everything. I have been flooded with positive comments and feedback, and truly know that it was a successful event for the Loomis Group. Ever since the beginning of my fascination with events I have always wanted a mentor-someone that I could learn a thing or two from. I just wanted to personally say thank you, as you are someone that I did learn from and hopefully will continue to learn from. It was my pleasure to work with you! Thanks again for everything. Cheers! Dawn
