We are awaiting what’s predicted to be the Hurricane of a lifetime!

“This could be the worst storm event to hit the Philadelphia area in 50 years,” Mayor Nutter said. Due to the severity of this storm,” Nutter said, “people should expect power outages of a week, 10 days or even two weeks.”

The news is reporting we should get more then 12 inches of rain, there will be major flooding in the entire Philadelphia, Tri-State Area. As of now, the entire Transit system is shut down and everyone who does not have a place to go is urged to go to a safe shelter to avoid serious injury.

Amazing views of the Hurricane Irene from Space Station, this monster Hurricane is nothing we have ever seen here in over 50 years on the East Coast!

Thephilanews.com is the website for Philadelphia News, the leading Russian language newspaper in the Philadelphia area that has been catering to the Russian speaking community for over 15 years.

They published 2 articles about my promotion & events company that talks about past and upcoming events in the Philadelphia and Atlantic City areas:

Best Of Philadelphia: Nightclubs are Fun and Addictive

Best Of Philadelphia: Excitement Will Cure Depression

The voice of an angel, Jackie Evancho did not win this years of America’s Got Talent! Michael Grimm wins the “ultimate prize” of $1,000,000 and a Las Vegas Show. Very sad for all the Jackie Evancho fans out there, but America voted and they think Michael Grimm has more talent.

This is just the beginning of a long successful journey for Jackie Evancho and I hope we see more of her soon!

This summer is turning out to be very busy and exciting for me. Aside from my regular Media Components projects, I am involved with organizing and promoting several exclusive events around Philadelphia & Atlantic City. Most of them include newest nightlife venues and clubs.

Some of the recent places that I had the pleasure of being involved with include Bamoo Bar – biggest club in Philadelphia. We recently started organizing and promoting a Sunday day time event called DETOX. Amazing energy and people are involved with this which I am really excited to be a part of.

I produced another episode of WildinOut.TV which shows the energy and people involved with this event. Misha Zubarev, who is a close friend of mine directed and edited this episode which  I think came out awesome!

We are working on some new ideas for the next episode which will take the viewers to another Hot Spot in Philadelphia or even Atlantic City, you will just have to wait and see.

Neal Freedman (one of my clients) is having an open house for his business and we made this video to invite everyone!

This weekend I will be attending BarCamp Philly!

BarCamp is defined by Wikipedia as follows:

“…an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.”

I plan to meet many cool people in the social media space located in Philly area and network with them.

If you found this site after meeting me, feel free to connect to me on Facebook and Twitter!

One of my good friends – Arsen Ustayev opened up a new and exciting business in the community.

His new business venture is an Adult Day Care Center called Sarah Care of Jenkintown!

He has also asked me to serve on the Advisory Council for his center along with other business mentors in the community to make this center the best in the area.

SarahCare is a nationwide franchise that provides health-related assistance during the day to seniors who do not require round-the-clock nursing care, but can benefit from supervised activities and health-related services. SarahCare specializes in various impairments and health related problems including: physical impairments, Alzheimer’s and other dementias, stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, diabetes, special diets, isolation and loneliness. SarahCare provides a group setting in a comfortable country-club environment.

I also took several photos for their website:

We have been busy this summer working on all sorts of projects. Some of the projects include total website redesigns, complete brand development and setting up Blogs for some of our existing clients.

We had the pleasure of working with a new company “Virtual Kitchen Concepts Inc.” and they came to us with a need to design a logo, website and several marketing materials. We took their vision and designed a simple logo which is used on their storefront sign, printed materials and on their website. We built a dynamic Content Management System for them that allows their editors to keep the website fresh and search engine optimized. They have also started to Blog about their business and communicate with their clients.

One of our long time clients Marisa Pell hired us to revamp her site which provides both the consumer and press member a place to instantly access information regarding her products, services and latest news. An online media room, as well as a press friendly environment was developed for her new website. She also has access to the CMS (Content Management System) to make her own changes and update. Her readers can now subscribe to her Blog feed and stay up-to-date with her events and news.

Another client who really enjoys Blogging is Craig Sumsky from Cutting Edge Entertainment. His company consists of “experienced group of interactive entertainers: MCs, DJs, dancers, vocalists, musicians, and engineers trained to get your guests involved.” We also revamped his homepage with a new clean design to point visitors to the right pages on his website.
