Class of Whenever Reunion

2013-03-24T02:19:00.000-07:00

First off, if you haven't been to your class reunion yet but went to ours, we are sorry for spoiling you. Yours will probably be not as cool as ours was.

To recap, we at ActionBooth held another one of our Real Events | Fake Reasons events. If you didn't guess what our theme was this time was a fake class reunion. We believe that most reunions are only cool if you got along with the people you went to school with and actually have something to show with your life since high school. We want to throw that expectation out of the window.

At our event, it didn't matter when or where you are from. All that matters is that you have fun and have an amazing time with our service. All the rest was purely theatrics and entertainment. As stated on our main REFR page, we wanted to experiment with a way to get strangers to speak to each other as if they knew one another. I would have to say it worked. Once people got into the theme and mindset of what the event was, there were no bounds to what people did that aligned with our theme.

To give you an example, the prom king and the prom queen we crowned were complete strangers. We asked them to do a king and queen dance to Time After Time and our ActionBooth staff's jaw dropped when they both did an amazing rendition of the scene from Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. Now, at this time, I believe everyone started to think that this may have been staged. I can guarantee you that our minds were blown at how amazing this was.

One more example of the amazingness was that a break dance battle happened in the middle of our event. Let me repeat that. There was a sweet break dance battle that happened at our event. They commanded the attention of the rest of the guests with their moves. Collectively, everyone was thinking "I remember when I use to be able to do that." even though we all know that was way beyond our abilities. These fellas were talented.

Well, if you want to see more of the event, check out our gallery page. We have our images hosted there.

Thank you all, we had such an amazing time. I wanted to give everyone a hug for being so awesome.

Again, if you haven't gone to your ten year reunion yet but went to ours, my apologies.

WE RUINED YOUR EXPECTATIONS!

There is no better reunion than a reunion of strangers. What? I mean, thank you for coming out.

New Year's Eve!

2013-01-01T16:04:00.002-08:00

ActionBooth said goodbye to 2012 and hooray for 2013 with an open bar, casino, and fireworks on Lake Michigan at the Entrepreneur's Eve swanky party at the Chicago Adler Planetarium! The Mars Rover Exhibit served as our backdrop, giving our guests the opportunity to jump in outer space! Fireworks erupted over the lake at midnight, and everyone toasted to a great new year with a glass of bubbling champagne!

Remember, don't forget to contact us to book ActionBooth for YOUR next event!

Rockin' at the Hard Rock Cafe

2012-12-13T13:25:00.000-08:00

ActionBooth rocked out last night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago for the MPI Chicago Chapter and MGM Resorts Holiday Party. This private event was celebrated with target raffles, a silent auction offering amazing vacation packages, and of course, ActionBooth! We captured the highlights of the evening, including a 6'5" Irish Santa Clause and his swag right-hand elf. The night concluded with an after party at Bull and Bear, but by then, partygoers had knocked back enough Jameson eggnog and didn't want to leave the main attraction: us!

Remember, to book us for your event, visit our booking form here!

We'll see you on New Years Eve at Carnivale, Chicago!

Kandy Kane Ball

2012-12-10T18:10:00.001-08:00

This past Saturday night, ActionBooth got to star as photo-op central for the 10^th Annual Kris Kirngle’s Kandy Kane Ball at Joe’s on Weed Street in Chicago. This sold out event was the center of attention this weekend as Joe’s annual toy drive benefited Chicago Children’s Charities and offered partygoers an evening to remember, and ActionBooth was there to capture it all! Props were flying, parties were posing, drinks were spilling, and everyone was having a great time. We even had a guest of honor at the event, a national celebrity that people were lining up to pose with: our very own Grinch! This green guy ALMOST stole the show, but we remain confident that ActionBooth saw the most action that night.

Next stop: the Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand Las Vegas hosted at the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago!

Look at these dancers!

If you are not jealous of them, then there is something wrong with you. These guys are amazing.

Forward Progress!

2012-05-14T04:42:00.000-07:00

Hello,

We would like to introduce our ActionBooth Live!. We can now upload branded images directly to your Facebook business page, personal gallery, twitpic, ftp server or other various social media outlets you choose. The response we've had testing this service has been amazing and we would love to show you how great it is at your event. Your guests, their friends who aren't at the event can tag themselves, like images, and comment in real time. This is a genius move from a branding/marketing standpoint.

ActionBooth Live! = New hotness
Next Day Gallery = Old and busted.

High speed video camera in Vegas hotel room.

2011-04-20T02:35:00.001-07:00

There are a few things I'd be willing to lock myself up inside of a Vegas hotel room. A Phantom Flex 1080p 2000+ fps video camera would be one of them. This is why.

Super Mario Overload! Speedrun.

2011-04-06T12:18:00.000-07:00

I don't know which one to watch! I seem to keep watching Super Mario 2 on the bottom right corner cause I never got to play that version. It looks way difficult.

CIAA 2011

2011-03-07T12:46:00.001-08:00

Actionbooth exploded onto Charlotte, NC for the 2nd year in a row being a part of promotions involving both Coke Zero AND Miller Lite. I got to meet a lot of great people, ran into some childhood friends, and really understood what it meant to be a student and member of the society of almuni of an HBCU. The trip was a little hectic and we didn't get to explore like we would have liked, but I'll be back with a full recap and pics/vid in a bit!

KAJ OUT!

New ActionBooth mascot?

2011-02-20T12:02:00.000-08:00

What do you think? Who wouldn't want to have a jumping goat as their mascot? Though, not as famous as the fainting goats.
