At the opening in Los Angeles last week, guests used special R.F.I.D.-embedded wooden tokens to interact with multimedia activities throughout the evening.

Or they could visit digital touch-screen soundboards to make a soundtrack.
Cage and Aquarium, a Chicago event DJ, photography, and live music service, now offers its "All Wax" events. Drawing on its collection of vintage records, DJs deliver all-vinyl sets of funk, reggae, retro pop, and old-school hip-hop. The service is geared toward clients who "have a love of the warm sounds of vinyl and nostalgic images of the 'good old days' that wax discs evoke," said a rep for the company.
