Reminder: I am performing tonight at the shul on the beach in Venice, California.
Jewlicious Festival 6.0 is a three-day gathering of Jewish students & young adults, Feb. 19-21, 2010, held at the massive 85,000 sq. ft. Alpert JCC in Long Beach. The Jewlicious Festival features leading Jewish personalities, musicians, artists, and writers from around the world for a world-class concert series, inspiring Shabbat experiences, discussions and workshops. Jewlicious has been described as “an event unlike any other weekend in Jewish history.” Jewlicious Fest unites trend-setters, artists and spirit seekers; Ashkenazim, Sefardim, Persians and Mizrachim; atheists, agnostics, skeptics and believers; designers, activists, jocks, and hipsters. Sound impossible?
Since I am already living out in California I am able to attend, in fact I am performing for the first time on the west coast tonight in Venice @ Shul on the Beach – and it’s a FREE show. Anyway, Dave from Jewlicious, tells me that if you want to be a presenter you can go to the festival for free. Besides for the fact that tons of cool peeps will be there including Matisyahu and myself, there will be tons of guys and gals and maybe you can meet that special someone.
For anyone living in the Los Angeles area under the age of 36 you would be foolish not to attend Jewlicious Fest. Meals, concerts and panels are all included and you get to camp out with a bunch of very random people, and I can guarantee there will be some hotties there – it is southern California after all.
