Irvin Mayfield's I Club

Keating Magee, or as I like to refer to it, Grand Central Station, has been busy busy busy! Between openings, events and new clients, I am not sure when these people sleep. One of the more recent and publicized events happening for Keating is the opening of Irvin Mayfield's I Club. The club venue itself is something to boast about, but by adding in funky tunes of a well-known musician, delicious cocktails and outstanding hospitality, the club truly becomes one of a kind.

Thursday I worked the door at the soft opening that hosted guests from the art and fashion world. What a unique group! I was able to meet different designers and artists that have made a name for themselves not only in this city, but around the country and world. I felt so inspired as I listened to Irvin tell stories about what some of these guests have done for the city of New Orleans. It is always refreshing to learn how people take their own success and utilize it for the well being of others. Tomorrow night marks the event I have been looking forward to all summer; the grand opening of the I Club. Technically, I will be working but I foresee it being a thrilling work environment.

Did you happen to catch Fox 8 News this morning? If not, you missed the legendary Irvin Mayfield playing a beautiful song on his trumpet- talk about a nice way to wake up! The morning started out smoothly, as we all arrived on time and, with the help of coffee, wide awake. About ten minutes before it was go time, we realized Irvin had makeup stains on the front of his shirt from a lady hugging him. Girls, we have to watch out for this beauty no-no! I felt like a fashion intern as I ran to my car to retrieve the always helpful Tide To-Go pen and attempted to scrub the stains out of the shirt. I find comfort in knowing that my tasks at Keating Magee are fulfilling and do not include me doing the mundane "intern" work. All in all, this morning will go down in the books as one of my favorite experiences of the summer.

Oh and one more thing...

WHO DAT!
