2/15 - Forest Arms Benefit Show (official press release)

[littleb]

On February 6, residents of Forest Arms Apartments (located on the corner of Second and Forest just south of Wayne State) were evacuated due to a five-alarm fire that swept the top two floors of the building. The building sustained severe fire and water damage. The Forest Arms Apartments were home to over a hundred residents as well as People's Records and Amsterdam Espresso.

In an effort to help out those people and businesses in their hour of need, we are pooling our resources and talents to organize the following event:

A Benefit Show for the Victims of the Forest Arms Apartment Fire

Featuring Los Minstrels del Diablo and A Stowaway performing live, and DJs milieu, dirty D, Cirque and JOHNb, as well as the resident People's Records DJs.

There will also be sideshow entertainment provided by Tim TV, bellydancing by Chantal and other performances TBA.

The benefit will be from 7:00pm until 2:00am on Friday, February 15th at the Atwater Block Brewery, 237 Joseph Campau, Detroit, MI

There will be a $5 suggested minimum donation at the door, but please give what you can. The venue, the sound system, and all the performances are being provided at no cost, so 100% of the funds donated will go directly to the victims of the Forest Arms Apartment Fire.

Please come and show your support!

For more information please contact [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Sound system provided by Lyve Productions.
This event is being organized by a little blue dot productions.

Thanks to everyone who came out on Friday and showed their support for the Residents of the Forest Arms Apartments. We had a great turn out of nearly 400 people and we were able to raise just over $3000 for the (former) residents, including People's Records and Amsterdam Espresso.

(PS - if you know anybody who lived in the building please let them know that they should be receiving their portion of the donations with their security deposits - thanks)
