Today is PM GIGS 25th anniversary! Hard to believe that 25 years has gone by but here we are, still in business, still booking entertainment, still in the event industry.
A huge thank you to ALL the people who appear in this video and all your kind words. I was very surprised when I saw this footage for the first time two days ago. I have watched this video quite a few times and I find myself very overwhelmed with emotion. The kindness and appreciation is really amazing. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in contributing to this video, and our entire PM GIGS team who had a hand in putting it together for me. A huge thanks for Client & Performer Relations team member who made the edits and this final version which I am continually enjoying!
We would not be here today if it wasn't for all the amazing clients who trust every day with their entertainment. Many have been with us for over two decades. Many are new. Regardless, all of you are important to our business.
I want to acknowledge the tens of thousands of musicians, entertainers, DJ's, production teams, venues, suppliers (NOT vendors...don't use that term!) who have performed at our events and always been awesome. Thank you for caring about your craft and your performances.
A huge thanks to our PM GIGS team Shirl Ratzlaff, Krista Wodelet, Taffinel LeBlanc, Nicky Markin, Kalie Morberg, and my wife Cynthia Priftis, who handle over 1000 events a year and keep our business so organized. Thanks to anyone who's ever worked for PM GIGS as an employee or contractor. Everyone who has been a part of our team has made a contribution to our ongoing success.
I've never had a business partner, shareholders, investors, been owned by another company, didn't inherit this business from my dad. I took a chance 25 years ago, quit a very secure job, and did it with an 18 month old child, and another one that was on the way (surprise!).
I owe much of my success to my wife Cynthia who told me to "go for it" and take the risk. If I can do it, you can.
Follow your dreams and your passion. You'll always regret it if you don't.
Happy 25th Anniversary PM GIGS!
