Wired
Magazine hired Addi to make his balloon hats at our first annual
WIRED NextFest, a public exhibition and convention on future technologies
that drew over 24,000 people. His balloon hats added a fantastic
element of humor to the event, prompting both our publisher
and editor–in-chief to say that Addi and his hats were the
most popular attraction at the whole convention.
For this past WIRED NextFest 2005, we flew him out to Chicago.
Addi was just as popular, but the hats were even more astounding.
Throughout the weekend, parents repeatedly thanked us for having
Addi whose unique and colorful hats helped them to keep track
of their children in the large crowd of over 37,000 people.
Addi is extremely easy to work with and exceptionally dependable.
He exceeds all expectations of what can be created and communicated
with balloons. We love Addi.

EVENTS
In
2005, O, The Oprah Magazine's signature Live Your Best
Life tour traveled to Denver, D.C. and Dallas. We realized
after our first city that our ticket holders were going to line
up much earlier than the doors were scheduled to open. We wanted
to entertain our 5,000 attendees in each city before they entered
the event, so we hired Addi to make his fabulous balloon rings for
all the ladies as they waited in line. Addi was a huge hit! He did
not stop making rings and flower bracelets (all color coordinated,
of course) for 5 hours. Even after the women were in the convention
center, they still waited for up to 45 minutes to get their balloon
jewelry. Addi's balloon creations are very classy and sophisticated.
You honestly have to see it to believe it. We are so glad he was
a part of our events!

PARTIES
and BAR MITZVAHS
Alex's
Bat Mitzvah party was a huge success! Your balloon hats were a total
hit. The kids loved them, and I can't tell you how many of the adults
called me the next day to RAVE about your hats and rings and bracelets.
They enjoyed the balloons as much as the kids! What I really liked
was that you made each and every hat unique for each kid. And, you
didn't have to shout to be heard. You worked your magic in a very
low key, unobtrusive way, which I really appreciated. You're a doll.
I can't wait to have another party just so we can invite you back.
Thanks for your enthusiasm and expertise!

PARTIES
As a birthday party organizer for high-end clients, it is important
for me to hire the best party entertainers I can find in Los Angeles.
They need to make my clients so happy that they come back for repeat
business. One of my best finds is Addi Somekh. Both his art and
attitude are contagious. Whether he is making is famous hats or
his floating flower decorations for a Princess Party, I have 100%
confidence in Addi and his ability to uplift a party.
