Yoga Flow in the Dark - Ivivva Westfield UTC

San Diego based yoga DJ Justin Kanoya DJ's the Flow in the Dark event at Westfield UTC.

I've been working with Ivivva on various events the past year. This is a great company with a mission to empower young girls to be their best self. It's also perfect that I have a 10-year-old daughter that would likely be going to these events anyway ... oh, and she loves their clothes.

Flow in the Dark took place on October 28, 2016 in a large outdoor section of the Westfield UTC mall. Pottery Barn Kids as well as Travis Matthew brought out furniture and other activities for attendees to check out before the yoga party got started.

Outfitted with glow bracelets and necklaces, the girls were guided through a 45 minute yoga session by April Mosebrook and Jessica Ann Hetzer. Check out the music below.

Challenged Athletes Foundation Fundraising Spin Class - The Rush Studio

Fitness DJ Justin Kanoya, with corporate wellness professional and spin instructor, Sheri Matthews.

Sheri Matthews - my friend, spin instructor, runner, encourager, multi brand ambassador (notably Fitbit and Lululemon) -- is running the New York City Marathon. She runs a lot of racers, but this particular one is in recognition for the Challenge Athletes Foundation, an amazing organization that provide opportunities and support to people with physical challenges, so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics.

While many people run marathons to meet personal goals, Sheri’s primary reason for running the NYC marathon was to raise awareness and funds for the CAF. When I heard her fundraising efforts were carrying over to a spin cycling class she was leading at the Rush Studio in La Jolla I knew I wanted to be a part of that.

So Sheri and I once again shared a stage where she led a sweat inducing workout and I kept her riders motivated with some intense tunes.

And, BTW, Sheri did awesome in NYC, with another sub-four hour marathon finish and a cool picture with Meb Keflezighi.

Here’s a look at the setlist from the spin class.

Becky and Adam’s Dance Party; Slow Motion Video - Marina Village Wedding

Adam and Becky’s October, 14, 2016 wedding party was truly an international affair. They had their ceremony and reception at Marina Village in San Diego. The couple, who live in Australia, had guests descend upon San Diego (where Becky grew up) from all over the world. There were friends from Australia, New Zealand and all over the U.S. In fact this was reflected in their grand entrance when we played entrance music specific to the geographic locations that members of the wedding party were from.

It was nice where Kiwi and Australian music tracks were dropped. We event had the slow motion video booth set-up. Check out the video and music setlist below.

Emily and Monique wed on the picturesque cliff at the Martin Johnson House.

These two were married after 25 years of partnership ... so wonderful!

Monique and Emily met more than two decades ago when attending the University of California - San Diego. It was only fitting that they returned to La Jolla (they currently reside in Georgia) to marry one another at the Martin Johnson House on October 13, 2016.

This perfect evening (weather, food, ambience) was shared with many family and friends, including Monique and Emily’s two amazing kids who definitely got many of the guests dancing. Their ceremony and reception all took place at the Martin Johnson House, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Scripps Pier. It was a magical night.

View fullsize

The 17th San Diego Asian Film Festival takes place November 3-12, 2016.

Brick in Liberty Station was the venue that the 2016 Chew The Scene event took place. 

The Pacific Arts Movement’s Chew The Scene Event is a sign of two things … good food and the annual San Diego Asian Film Festival is just around the corner. ‘Chew,’ which took place on October 11 at Brick Event Center, serves as the official kick off event to the festival, now in its 17th year.

The event combines food and drink tastings while giving attendees first opportunity in San Diego to preview the film festival’s lineup of films and programs. I was there to set the tone with music and lighting, in cooperation with San Diego Event Pros.
