Talent in town for the MuchMusic Video Awards had the opportunity to visit two lounges this past weekend, both of which offered swag and space to unwind: the official MMVA Gift Lounge, located at MuchMusic headquarters, and the Artist Sanctuary at Hotel Le Germain.
New York-based On 3 Productions created an orange and white lounge for artists and presenters participating in the MuchMusic Video Awards this year. "We were going for something edgy, something a little different, with bright colours and bold colours," said Matthew Simon of On 3 Productions. Ikea and Sumo Lounge provided furnishings for the space, including bag chairs and ottomans. "It's a place where people can just chill out and relax."

While the 2008 Juno awards took place Sunday night at Calgary's Pengrowth Saddledome, the parties kicked off three days earlier after a free concert at the Olympic Plaza on Thursday. Following the concert, Calgary Economic Development hosted a V.I.P. sponsor reception at the Juilliard Restaurant and Lounge with guests from the Calgary Stampede, Tourism Calgary, and the mayor's office in attendance, according to Calgary Herald society columnist Tonya Zelinsky. Also on Thursday night, gossip blogger and eTalk Daily regular Lainey Lui hosted a party at Blvd sponsored by Pigsback.com, Skoah, and Rustico Prosecco. As Lui reports on her blog, guests received complimentary hand massages and Mavi gift bags.
On Friday night, Tourism Calgary held its kick-off Juno party at the Hyatt Regency with past Juno winners, nominees and record company executives in attendance. Along with the annual JunoFest that took place on Saturday, the Hotel Arts held an all-night private poolside party called Rock Star Hotel, with sponsors including Adidas and Fido. Also on Saturday, Calgary designer Paul Hardy held a candlelit party at his boutique to show off his fall/winter collection in an intimate setting.
