JUNE 6: GRAND OPENING MARRAKESH HOUSE ** As you may have heard, I've just completed a remodel of a 1950s hillside home in Culver City. The result is "Marrakesh House" a green residence and entertainment space that mixes mid-century modern architecture with Moroccan design. The house has a lot of cool features including a solar powered electric car garage and plenty of indoor/outdoor space. To celebrate the completion, we're planning a Grand Opening Benefit Party on June 6th and we'd love you to be here. Some incredible musicians and dancers are going to join us including the incomparable Ben Lee, Middle Eastern fusion band Danvayaad, world electronica group Naked Rhythm and live animals from the Wildlife Learning Center. We've chosen a group of local organizations to receive any profits from our weekend launch. If you want to join the fun, buy a ticket asap, as we are likely to sell out. We can't add more tickets later because the space only holds so many people. Here's a link to the ticket site and a copy of the invitation below: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/57205 Hope to see you there. Bring a fez.

JUNE 6: CEMETERY SCREENINGS: CAT PEOPLE ** Cat People directed by jacques tourneur (1942, 73 min.) saturday, june 6th gates at 7:30 pm, film at 9:00 pm NEW TIME!! http://www.cinespia.org/ Hollywood Forever Cemetery 6000 santa monica boulevard at gower no reservation necessary. $10 donation tickets available at gate. $5 parking available in cemetery as a courtesy to other movie-goers: no tall chairs. When Smith meets a beautiful but mysterious woman at the zoo, he quickly falls in love in with her and rushes to marry her. Slowly he discovers that this beautiful woman is not what she seems?.Working only with shadows, nuanced light, blankets of darkness, and ominous sounds, Tourneur is a master of horrors imagined rather than seen. The result is a visually stunning and genuinely terrifying film. Simone Simon is fantastic in this role, and her subtle feline mannerisms heighten her already uncanny looks. she is alluring and unnerving, and truly a cat person. dj jun spins before and after the screening ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ** SUNDAY JUNE 7: ART FOR CLARE - SAVING LIVES THROUGH RECOVERY ** Art auction and sale with great food, blues music, and a chance drawing Sunday, June 7, 2009, 1pm-4pm Bergamot Station 2525 Michigan Avenue Santa Monica, CA 90404 General Admission $25 Sponsorships include special recession prices Tickets and sponsorships available online at www.clarefoundation.org or by calling Julie Edens at (310) 314-6200.

Want to leave this life behind? Following a completely sold-out and held-over engagement in the summer of 2008, Los Angeles' only established circus troupe Cirque Berzerk returns for the 2009 run of "Beneath", a decadent and demented descent into the underworld. Opening on June 18th in downtown Los Angeles, the world "Beneath" features fiery burlesque dancers, jaw-dropping acrobatics, stunning aerialists, punk rock clowns, gothic stilt-walkers, and psychedelic vaudevillian tomfoolery. Come early to dine picnic-style around the tent, and stay late for a nightly party in the Berzerk Lounge with the Cirque Berzerk circus troupe and enjoy a live performance by Vaud & the Villains.

My apologies for the group email, but I know so many of you amazing artists and creative people, that by my sending this to everyone, I figure someone may have some great information. I know it's been a long time since I've seen and talked to many of you. I hope you are all wonderful and well! I have been away from LA almost 2 years now, and have been performing mostly in Europe with numerous events. The one I'm writing about now is called HAPPY HOUR CHANDELIER. You can check it out here: www.happyhourchandelier.com HAPPY HOUR CHANDELIER is a completely new and innovative aerial show for large scale events and parties. The small crew of Dancing Angels that I perform with are European, and most all of our shows are booked in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We now need help getting Happy Hour Chandelier to the States. We want and need a Hollywood Agent that can provide major representation. We need contacts in LA, SF, Vegas etc...to get the show some west coast bookings. This act would be appropriate for events such as, The Victoria's Secret Fashion show, The Oscar parties and Awards shows, Vegas casinos and the like. The Happy Hour Chandelier is truly a gorgeous party opener, consisting of an elegant performance where the dancer pours champagne while hanging upside down from the chandelier! Do any of you have any contacts that you could pass along to us? Do you know of any appropriate agencies that we could send our beautiful marketing package to? It would be great if you know of any names, agents, managers, or production companies to send our way. I am representing HAPPY HOUR CHANDELIER for the USA. But, since I'm living in Europe, it's a bit challenging. So please let me know if you have any contacts or information that you think would be helpful. I appreciate your time in advance!! Hope to hear from you soon, and see you while hanging upside-down from the chandelier.

We need to make some noise here in the southland to get the producers of this Burning Man documentary to schedule a screening down here in L.A. Whattaya say!? Join their Facebook and put on the pressure! The new documentary Dust & Illusions explores 30 YEARS of BURNING MAN HISTORY: From the late 1970s into the deep origins of the Burning Man festival, till today, the documentary explores the evolution of the now largest counter-cultural event in North America. Using footage that has never been seen, and interviews of the founders like John Law and Larry Harvey, of artists like the Flaming Lotus Girls and Pepe Ozan, and other participants, the film brings a critical perspective about Burning Man that no other documentaries have visited and reveals a past buried into the memories of a few that have long been forgotten but influenced the festival in powerful ways. A facebook page for the film to keep up with future screenings: Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dust-Illusions/56022657945 Upcoming screenings on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=85491376773 ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o)==D~~(o)(o) ** GREAT APARTMENT FOR RENT IN LOS FELIZ ** $1900 / 2br - Beautiful 2 Bd 1920's apt w/office - like a house!
