A NIGHT TO REMEMBER LOU REED



Are you one of the many who felt a deep loss when Lou Reed died on October 27th, 2013? If yes, and you would like to share your feelings, please join us at Studio 1444 (Sunset & Highland) on October 27th from 6-10pm for as we remember him "One Year Since". This will be a simple night where the creative community can pay tribute to the man and the legacy he left behind. This is a limited space, family friendly event, and all are welcome with *RSVP.

(Thank you @DeyoGlines for donating your time and graphic design talent
along with generosity from @Amoebamusic and @digmusic; together, we hope

many others who love Lou Reed join us to celebrate his life.)

You may not know that he was one of the original founding members of The Velvet Underground, who recorded in our building when it was home to TTG Studios. Songs on their first album, The Velvet Underground & Nico (1966), recorded at TTG were: "I'm Waiting for the Man, "Venus in Furs" and "Heroin"; followed by the third album The Velvet Underground, recorded in 1968, in it's entirety at TTG Studios.

We are calling out to all artists, poets, writers, musicians, performance artists, and those with personal recollections, in addition to those who practice Tai Chi, or other marshall arts, to be a part of this remembrance. We are dedicating 2 hours as an open mic/performance time; please come and share your thoughts, personal stories, music, poems, or express through Tai Chi. 1-5 minutes for each person, or group, by reservation only, first come first serve. Acoustic only. The studio will provide the stage, an amp, lighting and a bar stool. Depending on the response, we can extend the time frame.

There will also be one wall dedicated to art (limited space available, first come first serve). All works must be ready to hang with a wire backing only. For more information, please email: GatherTheArtists@mail.com. Deadline to submit works is Thursday, October 23rd.

To reserve a spot for the open mic, as an artist, or to volunteer, please email: GatherTheArtists@mail.com. Due to limited space, *RSVP is mandatory* (We have great respect for privacy, and names and list will not be shared.) More details will become available soon. We hope you will join us in remembering this remarkable, brutally honest man who changed music and so many lives throughout his.
