Night Vision Entertainment to Transform Vibiana Into Pop-Up Nightclub for Halloween
|
Event production, marketing, and promotion company Night Vision Entertainment will take over Vibiana downtown for a pop-up nightclub dubbed Pandora during Halloween week. The pop-up club, which opens on October 27 in the historic former cathedral, will offer entertainment during its three-night limited run, including a show on Halloween night from rapper Asher Roth (of "I Love College" fame). Also for the Halloween night event, Night Vision will donate a portion of sales to Madonna's Raising Malawi charity; Madonna has agreed to match funds raised.
The space's other events include a performance by the Darling Stilettos (with Matt Sorum of Guns N' Roses), and a masquerade ball with live performance by a '20-style big band and flapper dancers. Night Vision also has plans to take the Pandora concept to other major U.S. cities. —Alesandra Dubin

Travel Industry Combats Cancellations: As the U.S. Travel Association continues to lobby the government to support meetings and events during the recession, more statistics have emerged to illustrate how different facets of the industry are suffering. Canceled events accounted for a $220 million loss in room revenue during January and February, and Starwood Hotels—which owns the Sheraton, Westin, Le Meridien, and W brands—has booked 40 percent fewer group events in 2009 compared to this time last year, prompting the company to eliminate 10 percent of its staff, or approximately 6,000 employees.
