Boothing for Ana

We had a blast at Club Ana 149 last Saturday! We donated a photo booth and an attendant to show our support for Ana and everyone who contributes to her cause. It was quite the party - we turned Bearpath Country Club into a New York dance club for a night of friends, dancing, silent auctions and hilarious photo strips. The kids really loved the photo booth and the adults did, too, just not as much as they loved each other in the photo booth (smooch). Everyone had a great time supporting a great cause.

The event was put on by Ana 149, a small community of people who care a lot about a little girl named Ana who has autism. The purpose of Ana 149 is to help raise money to offset the cost of expensive treatments for Ana. The name Ana 149 stems from the statistic that one in every 150 children has autism. Ana is that one. You can view the Ana 149 blog at http://www.ana149.com/. To learn more about autism and the Autism Research Institute, check out http://www.autism.com/.

Boother Party!

Last night we had our Boother Party. To the outside world, they are known as "photo booth attendants" but within TTPB they're known collectively and affectionately as "Boothers." We didn't really have a reason for this party other than it was a chance to have fun and to show our great appreciation towards them. They are the face of our company at events and are the type of people we genuinely like to hang out with. We don't always get the chance to talk much with them outside of the minute or two when they check in at their event or when we help them load out of a venue so we relish every opportunity to get together. They are terrific group of people whose only commonality is TTPB. They have different day jobs, interests and backgrounds. Some are married and trying to pick future baby names while others are still trying to choose majors (thankfully I'm in neither category.)

We gathered at the office and ate enough Italian food to prove low-carb dieting is dead. We had cake, wine and played some Nintendo Wii Sports. I'm not too sure the doubles tennis matches were the perfect team building exercise but it was fun. We were lucky enough to have a photo booth at our party and made a great photo strip guestbook which we plan to add to as the year's go on. Every good corporate party needs The Traveling Photo Booth.... obviously. Later that night we went outside and looked at the lunar eclipse. Opinion was mixed as to whether or not it lived up to the hype but it's safe to say most people thought it was at least "neat" if not "beautiful."

Eventually, festivities were wrapped up and some headed home while others were off to the bar for a little after party. We boxed up the leftovers for whomever wanted them, but TTPB managment will be eating meatballs and rigatoni for a month!

METRO Dogg Party

On Tuesday METRO Magazine hosted a live telecast of the Westminster Dog Show at the Nomad World Pub. The event was a benefit for the Animal Humane Society and sounded like a howlin' good time. (Sorry...there's more) TTPB was itching for some great dog/human photo strips so we donated a booth and it did the rest.

The dogs seemed pensive, but after sniffing the photo booth's butt, their tails began to wag. The dogs' human friends drank some pints and soon everyone was ready for some photo strips.

Not all dogs were thrilled with the idea of sitting in a photo booth (it is the alpha photo booth) but, the owners were ecstatic with the idea and received some photo strips that are sure to end up making the cats shake their heads in wonder as to how they ended up so incredibly domesticated.

Amazingly, a Beagle won best in show! My childhood dog Floyd was a beagle and I'm telling you that contest is rigged. That or genetics have advanced into dangerous territory and most likely need to be stopped. Please help me save the world and tell everyone you know about this blog. It maybe our only chance although Jacob tells me his Beagle Simon was chubby but lovable. I'm betting he fed it doritos.

Everyone had a lot of fun and surprisingly no dogs "marked" the photo booth (we think). So we just wiped her down a bit and headed home to The Traveling Photo Booth lair. The door closing behind us muffled the sounds of melancholic barks and whimpers inside the Nomad. The dogs on the other hand just wagged their tail and looked for treats.

Top 10 Photo Booth Questions...

A bride-to-be asked me yesterday what questions she should ask a photo booth rental company (she wanted to book us but we were already booked!) It's a great question so I'm sharing my Top 10 Questions I would ask (if I were a bride in need of a photo booth instead of married man who owns a few photo booths)...

#10. How does your photo booth accommodate small and large groups?

#09. Does your booth print real photo strips? Doubles?

#08. How automated is your booth?

#07. Do you offer a "live preview" so we can take the perfect picture every time?

#06. How long will your prints last? Do you have proof?

#05. Can you give me referrals?

#04. What extras are included?

#03. Is this how you make your full-time living?

#02. Can I visit your office and try it out?

#01. Why are you the best?


Hope this helps and happy photo boothing!
