That’s right. Cpt. Kirk, T.J. Hooker, the Priceline Negotiator is headed out on a Canadian Tour this Fall and your friends at Trixstar Productions are bringing it to you. We’ve been working tirelessly to secure Mr. Shatner and now that the event has launched, the early reception has been phenomenal…to say the least.

Vancouver, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal get ready. We’re coming to your city and bringing the Captain with us!

If you’ve been to Trixstar event before, you know you’re in for a good time. If you haven’t, there hasn’t been a better time to come out.

Tickets will be on-sale this Friday, August 12, 2011 at 10 am local time in most cities. As always, we believe what sets us apart is giving our guests the opportunity to meet their heroes. With that mind, our VIP ticket will blow your mind!

VIP ticket holders are going to have front of the house seating, a VIP meet & greet with Mr. Shatner, a private VIP after party, souvenirs, autographs, pictures, VIP lanyards and so much more.

Don’t miss out. This truly will be an event worth talking about.

Football is one intense game and we needed an act that would complement the strength and drive of the Eskimos players. With that in mind, we are pleased to announce that “Guns 4 Roses”, the ultimate Guns N’ Roses tribute experience, will be performing at halftime of the home opener.

We’ve been diligently working behind the scenes with the Eskimos Management team to secure this event, something we feel the fans and players alike will love!

The marriage of professional sports and live music has skyrocketed over the years and we are always looking to produce high quality events for our hometown teams.

If you haven’t seen “Guns 4 Roses” play before, you need to check out the videos below:

The Eskimos are the most successful CFL franchise in history and we look forward to seeing everyone at Commonwealth Stadium July 9, 2011 for the home opener.

That’s right, the chiseled, ironic, funny-man, made famous for his monologues in “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” ad campaign will be appearing at Vinyl Retro Lounge in Calgary on July 22, 2011 and Oil City Roadhouse in Edmonton on July 23, 2011.

If you didn’t already know, Isaiah has appeared in a number of television shows, but my personal favorite is some of his You Tube videos. Answering questions, spoofing his campaign or portraying the Marvel Superhero Luke Cage, you’re bound to crack up. Check out the clips here: Isaiah Mustafa

Men: Make sure you smell your best
Lady’s: He’s single!

If you answered yes to the above questions, then you’re going to love what we have coming up! Blake McGrath, famous choreographer and dancer from “So You Think You Can Dance Canada” will be appearing and performing at Vinyl Retro Lounge in Calgary, AB on Saturday June 25, 2011.

Blake McGrath (@blakemcgrath), a fellow Canadian, is going to show all you weekend dance warriors how it’s done, along with a meet a greet for his beloved fans and followers. Blake’s career has sky rocketed since appearing on SYTYCDC and we couldn’t be happier for him.

Come out June 25, 2011 and show Blake your moves.

• You HAVE TO BE ADAPTABLE, to people, places, situations etc.  It takes a certain finesse to maneuver around the specific requests clients may have for you.  They may be famous, but they’re also just regular people and anything anyone ever wants is to be respected. First and foremost.
• VOLUNTEER!  I can’t stress how important this is.  Get out there, help out.  You may not get paid in currency but the life experience you gain is worth more than any monetary amount someone can offer you.  You become an integral part of keeping this machine working and you will see what it takes to run an event.
• Networking: it’s true what they say- it’s about who you know.  Do not burn bridges, the entertainment industry is about creating a community and sharing the work around so that everyone benefits.
• Be prepared to make no money at first. I am broke, so, so broke, but I also love what I do and wouldn’t change it for anything.
• Take the ARTS & CULTURAL MGMT PROGRAM, it’s a great way to do all of the above and you will meet some really astonishing people.  The benefits of the program are exponential.

Until next time! Don’t be stranger dangers, send me an e-mail! Actually send any of us an e-mail! Let us know what interests you, who you’d love to meet and we’ll try to make it happen!

There I am, mildly creeped out by the size of his appendage (not for me baby!) thinking, where the f*&k am I going to find Magnum XL ?!!  So begins the 8 hour hunt for the unicorn of condoms that, for the record, DOES NOT EXSIST HERE IN ALBERTA.  Poor guy, all he wanted was some protection – but after stopping at 6 different drug stores and calling 2 sex shops, what’s a gal to do?

I had to break the news to him; much to his disappointment (and my amusement) he’d have to settle for the Magnum LRG’s I bought for him.  Must ‘suck’ to be so well endowed…

Anyways I digress, what a night…it was awesome.  You  have no idea what it’s like to peek from behind the curtain backstage and feel the rush and energy that’s suspended so heavy and thick in the air, your body starts to tingle and the hairs on your arms stand up when you hear the roar of the crowd waiting to see their favorite band perform.  It’s magic.

We are a passionate group of professionals that love to create those special moments in people’s lives through events.

We will share our insights, successes and, most importantly, our missteps along the way.

We also want to hear from you! If you have anything that you want to contribute to the blog, a topic you would like to read about, or general feedback, please forward your questions, comments or stories to: info@trixstar.com

Anyways, I’d love to hear your feedback on what you think of the new site. I’m sure we’ll have some changes and updates to make as we work out some of the kinks, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this one goes!
