Oakland (Special to OaklandNewsOnline.com) – Lally Events staged what was the largest private event in Oakland Coliseum Complex History using the Stadium and Oakland Arena.Lauren Carey, Senior Director of Marketing, for the Oakland Coliseum Complex, in an email to Zennie62Media Saturday, wrote “I wanted to share a follow-up from the meeting yesterday. Our client for this event was Lally Events, which facilitated a complex buyout for a multiple-day private event in September.”What happened was that during Friday’s Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority Meeting Coliseum Executive Director Henry Gardner asked Coliseum Manager Nicole Strange to give a report on finances.During her talk, Ms. Strange informed that said that the largest event ever held at the Coliseum happened in September of this year – but she did not name the organization responsible. When asked who it was by Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, Strange remarked that they could not tell who it was.At that point, in the public speaking portion of the agenda segment, I remarked that because the Coliseum is a public facility, California law says that we have to make the records behind the event public and transparent.There was little conversation after that. Then, Saturday afternoon, Lauren Carey sent over the email that read like this:Hi Zennie,I wanted to share a follow-up from the meeting yesterday:Largest Private Event in Oakland Coliseum Complex History Our client for this event was Lally Events, which facilitated a complex buyout for a multiple-day private event in September.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
