STUBJECT: Progress Report 1: Private Celebrity Party

Please accept this Annual Progress Report concerning our double birthday party involving singers/songwriters Alicia Keys and Ke$ha. The time frame we were given for this project is from March 5, 2010 to May 5, 2010, the day of the party. Below are the current tasks that have been completed and that are still scheduled to be completed and problems we have faced.

Work Completed

Assistant Manager Baja Miller and I have had meetings with the managers of the celebrities. During these meetings we have discussed a theme, food and beverages, invitations, and a private screening of a movie.

Theme/ Decorations
Ms. Miller and I have ordered special decorations from Party Planet, Inc. for the requested theme of a Masquerade Ball. We talked to the lighting crew about the colors and spotlights that are to be used that night.

Invitations
We also ordered the special invitations from Stationary by Mariah and sent them out.

Food and Beverages
Last week, I called Sakar Bakery and ordered the large ice cream cake that was agreed upon by both celebrities. They have assured me that they will call Ms. Miller and I to take a look at the preview before they create the cake. We have also met with our in-theater chefs who cater our special events and talked with them about the menu.

Work Scheduled

Ms. Miller and I have yet to get approval for the movie screening, music and entertainment for the party, and extra security for the theater.

Movie Screening
Ms. Miller is contacting the headquarters of Cinnamon Theaters in New York, New York to attain permission to have a private screening of the movie Letters to Juliet during the party. This film is not scheduled to be released until May 14, 2010, so it may take some time to get approval. Fortunately, the celebrities have chosen a second back-up film incase their first choice does not work out.

Music and Entertainment
In a couple of days, I am going to Los Angeles, California to meet with DJ Scotch from Music in a Minute Studios to discuss the music selection for the party. While I am there, I am going to talk to Nick Lachey, the producer of the show Taking the Stage on MTV, about possible entertainment from the cast members.

Security
Next week, I am also going to talk to the Anchorage Police Department in person to discuss a potential security problem. We may need a stronger police force since our party involves such famous and important people in our society.

Problems

Two weeks ago, we sent out the invitations for the double birthday party. Last week we were hit with a threat by singer/songwriter Justin Bieber. He declared on his Twitter account that he was “upset” that he wasn’t invited and threatened to “crash the party” with his “crew” and “ruin the party that the Cinnamon theater people planned.” His outrage made national television and Cinnamon Theaters Headquarters have advised us to get extra security around the building. Fortunately, airport security assured us that they would warn us if Mr. Bieber landed in Anchorage.
