RAVES & REVIEWS
SASCHA SHAPIRO BAT MITZVAH
Article in Jewish Journal.
http://www.jewishjournal.com/bar_and_bat_mitzvahs/article/backlot_parties_put_simchas_in_the_spotlight_20070713/
"Susan Shapiro said she was extremely happy with her daughter Sascha's ceremony and celebration on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City last August.”
Family and friends of all ages joined Sascha in a studio courtyard decorated to look like an outdoor garden for her bat mitzvah, which included a Torah reading and a Havdallah service. Afterward, the party next door in the Rita Hayworth Theater was an exclusive get-together for the bat mitzvah's friends.
Shapiro got the idea to hold the simcha at Sony after Sascha, now 14, attended a friend's Sweet 16 at the studio and returned home raving about the party.
"I was really happy. Everything was on site. And it was a safer option," said Shapiro, a professional psychologist. "At a restaurant, kids would be wandering around all over. [At Sony] there were guards watching them."

COMCAST ENTERTAINMENT GROUP HOLIDAY PARTY
“The waitstaff is very friendly. They’re very attentive and keep coming up to me asking me if I want anything. It’s hard to say no when the food is so good. I’ve probably gained a few pounds tonight.”
—Delivery technician, E! Entertainment, 23
“Oh, my god, this is about a bajillion times better than last year’s G4 party. It’s a large atmosphere with fun gaming, great drinks, and food. The desserts have been amazing. Pumpkin cheesecake is awesome. I have one negative: The Style Channel people are way too fashionable. All the people from the Style Channel are so hot. They make the people from G4 look like the nerds that we really are.”
—Chris Gore, host, Attack of the Show, G4, 32
