All the stars were out at least from Scotch Plains Fanwood HS who made their way to DUMBO on Saturday March 26th for the one night only opening of the IT Club. 

The IT Club was brought in by Jay and Patricia Shevins for their daughter Leila's Sweet 16 party.

While it was Jay and Patricia producing the night, this party was a Leila's creation. 

It was fashionably her night and she was the IT girl.

The IT Club took place in the Underwater Lounge at Water Street Restaurant and Leila's friends were bussed in luxury busses from NJ.

Owner Jeffrey Rodman, manager Brian and their staff created a great space with a raised dance area that was packed the whole night.  LSNY brought in additional LED color change lighting and intelligent lighting to make the full IT CLUB experience happen.

Leila  made a spectacular entrance down the back stairs to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way". 

She was initially concerned about making that walk down in her heels, but a few rehearsals and she was IT Fabulous   Tyra Banks would have been proud.

Our intelligent lights were able to spotlight her all the way from top to bottom.  When she hit the landing "Stronger" by Kayne kicked in and the party lifted off.

LSNY's DJ Espo turned up the heat for over 100 of Leila's good friends, going from hip hop to techno, pop remixes and a few surprises. 

The IT Club was jumping the entire evening.  Jay provided cool shades and glows for everyone.  Leila's sister Elodie provided the video montage of Leila's life. 

Brother Brandon was his usual chick magnet self according to dad Jay who recounted many a tale of the 8 year olds Bieber effect on ladies. 

One of the highlights toward the end of the night was watching The Perculator. DJ Espo had it on a little faster than the actual mix of the track and these kids were WORKING it.  I had caught it on video but it was a little too dark to show.

Here are a few video scenes from the evening.
