Come Join Us at Girari's Third Annual Glass Table Decorating Shootout
Wednesday, Nov. 18 at the Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard
This is a Call for Teams (You Have One Week to Enter)
The Competition
How it works:
Girari will provide glass topped tables in different shapes with matching chairs and stools. The 12 teams will be randomly assigned tables two weeks before the event and will have five hours on the day of the Shootout to decorate them.
This is a chance to express yourself and win serious prizes! The tables will be judged on creativity, workmanship and the "wow" factor. Finally, a chance to decorate a table your way without those pesky budget constraints. And maybe walk away with a first place prize of $5,000 (in the form of furniture rental credits from Girari).
This year there will be over $12,000.00 in prizes awarded! And, there will be additional prizes awarded by our Sponsors.
There is no charge to enter a team for the Shootout.

The Sponsors
The Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard has offered their main ballroom for the 2009 Shootout. We have arranged for a special event room rate of $179.00/night at the Luxe Hotel. Call the hotel (310-476-6571) and mention Girari's Shootout.
We are pleased to have Cort Event Furnishings this year as a sponsor. They will be creating a lounge around the competiton area with their latest designs.
At a recent event, Alexander shot some of Girari's tables. We liked their work and invited them to shoot the Shootout. They are artistic, professional and are able to bring out the best in our glass tables. After the Shootout, we will distribute photos of all the team's decorated tables to our newsletter's subscribers.
RentalComp is a new Internet site (live at the end of this year) that hopes to be the "Amazon for All Things Rented". They will be demonstrating their new site at the Shootout. They said "modestly" that their site will revolutionize how rentals are searched, compared and ordered. Yea, sure, they said all that stuff about Google, too.
We welcome back an original sponsor, J & M Entertainment, who lighted the Shootout so spectacularly in 2007 and 2008 and created great vibes with their D.J.'s.
