Event Link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=131903133493848&index=1
The Official Michael Jackson Memorial Party!!!!

This event is co-sponsored by the ALIVE Foundation (Seoul Korea).

From era to era, decade to decade, Michael Jackson was a musical light that brightened the hearts and ears of his time. Last year he passed away and left behind fans and a musical legacy comparable to none.

So…
Once a year for the rest of your life, you need to get OFF THE WALL and ROCK the NIGHT AWAY to this music. Michael Jackson on the 1’s and 2’s.

DJ Mixes by

DJ Kevin “Oilcan” Boyd (meant to get you loose)

DJ Dante Threats (meant to make you fall in love)

DJ Ian Robertson (meant to get you elevated)
Dance by
Eshe & Navah

Be our guests for the night and dance.
(For those of you who can’t miss the world cup Brazil game at 11PM it will be showing in the lounge)

You will need:
1. Dancing shoes and sweat proof clothing.

2. You favorite Michael Jackson paraphernalia.
Examples: loose neck white socks and black shoes/ sequin or white gloves/ aviator shades/ bow tie/ a jeri-curl wig/ red leather jackets or red leather anything…and cover-up make up foundation 2 & 1/2 shades lighter than your actual complexion (I am joking about the last one).

3. A “Pay What You Can” (no less than 5,000 KRW) cover charge donation that will go towards the ALIVE Foundation.

A prize will be awarded for the best impersonations.

Can’t wait………

******************

Introducing The ALIVE Foundation (Seoul based NGO)

“Aware. Lead. Inspire. Vulnerable. Environment”

ALIVE is based on 5 core elements – all of which support the idea that every aspect of life is precious; offering essential services/outlets in the lives and communities of South Korea where none have existed before.

Those things you thought were missing will now be available.

We will be starting by opening a 24hr Suicide Prevention Call Center. (SPCC) *with the help of you & your contributions!! (Thank-you!)*

SPCC aims to alleviate & transform the current reality with suicide in Korea.

Did you know?
• 35 Koreans a day commit suicide in South Korea
• This number has doubled in the past decade and is now the highest in the industrialized world.
• It is the fourth leading cause of death overall, after cancer, stroke and heart disease.

This means, someone closer than you think could be considering suicide.

얼 라이브 (ALIVE)는 개개인의 삶 모든 부분이 중요하다는 아이디어를 바탕으로 우리나라에서 지금까지 필요 했었지만 보지 못했었던 서비스를 중점적으로 제공해 본인이 원하는 방향으로 삶을 성장시켜 줄 5개의 핵심 요소를 가지고 있습니다.
여러분은 본인의 삶이 어떤 방향으로 나아갔으면 좋겠습니까? 저희는 당신의 아이디어가 필요합니다. 이것보다 어떻게 더 좋아지죠?

What would YOU like to see in Korea? We would love your input!

Nirvana Nights volume 1 “Garden of Eden”

A modern retelling of the story of Adam and Eve with an all-female cast using bellydance instead of language.

Saturday, June 5th @ Theater Zero (Hongdae, Seoul – right next to the Hongdae playground). Doors open at 10:30pm. Show begins at 11:00pm. 10,000won.

With special guest performances by… Jimin Park (of Top Belly bellydance), and Leyla Lee (Top Belly and friends).

The girls of Navah have been working really hard for the last three months preparing to bring you a wonderful night. We’ve been rehearsing all new choreographies and creating new costumes. This is our biggest production as of yet, and we’re incredibly excited. It is an 18-act bellydance drama written by Eshe. She was inspired by her experience being a part of Jillina’s Bellydance Evolution show last February. We hope to see you there! Enjoy the show!
