So Jordan Kaltwasser meets Adam Jordan. the big question since then always stood- “when and if you get married are you going to change your last name?” well of course she did! as the invite stated on the front, “if you really need to know just look at the back of the program…” Jordan Jordan it is. It seems to work well since she is a designer. even beyond this great name change this couple is great. they hosted their wedding outside of Memphis, TN in a spectacular location. little did they know it would be during a tornado. little did we know either. golf carts with plastic covers, sideways rain, tornado sirens, heavy wind. this was a first. and you know they still were laughing and totally into taking photos. i think the positive attitude really paid back when right after the ceremony the sky opened and the most beautiful sunset appeared. serenity.

all those clever google marketing folks got together last week and had a picnic in golden gate park. the smilebooth was there to catch all the fun and games…

the winners!!

thanks g-fit!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE CLEVER SUBMISSIONS!!! we decided that there were just too many good ideas out there to choose only one! so there are two winners who will be staying for free at the ace this coming sunday night and dancing their faces off at our new danceparty here are the winning ideas: from “FREDO” I think a free-form contest, where folks can submit anything that will inspire or palm springs related (pictures, songs, poems, essays, etc.) will get the most submissions. and from “WHITNEY” (no, not our whitney!) since it’s a joint project with OLOL…it should be a photo contest based on things people love: dance, outdoors, people, etc. Most creative and expressive wins!

so here is the plan… we have combined these two ideas and come up with the contest for next month (sunday july 25th) submit anything inspired by the flashdance our labor of love max etc / the ace hotel / palm springs & you by creating a piece of art (collage, video, audio, poem, dance moves, etc but somehow incorporating photography) and posting it to your blog / site / etc and post your link in the comments below. the submission(s) that most cleverly and completely express those three elements will win a free night in a king patio fireplace room at the ace hotel in palm springs sunday july 25th.

wanna stay at the ace hotel in palm springs for free? michael from the flashdance is starting a brand new danceparty out there and he has two fireplace patio king rooms to giveaway and wants YOU TO TELL HIM HOW TO DO IT! here is the deal, you come up with a certified genius contest concept (put it in the comments on the flashdance) and you’ll win one of the rooms, then we’ll use your idea to give away the other room here next week! a contest for the smart kids, not the lucky ones!

sunday june 27th 10pm – close in the amigo room (the rad little bar by the restaurant). the funnest, most hilarious, exciting, completely bananas danceparty you will ever attend. if you want to make a weekend of it mention the flashdance when booking your rooms for an extra special discount! winners will be chosen on monday afternoon.
