First Fridays - Long Beach, CA

[Jedimom/Cor-Al Gelkar]

I would like to invite you to the Long Beach First Fridays, May 4th,
located in Long Beach, CA.

The mission of First Fridays is to promote and support local artists and
musicians by providing them with an outlet to showcase their work. Every
first Friday night of the month, participating Bixby Knolls businesses
will unite to promote local artists and musicians through extended
operating hours. In doing so we hope to encourage a dialogue between
businesses, artists and the community.

This upcoming month is our "May the 4th Be With You" in honor of Star Wars
day. Would you be interested in coming out to First Fridays to promote
Star Wars?! As my favorite movie saga, it would be fantastic and an honor
to have a great selection of Star Wars fans, costumes, merchandise and
other related items at our event.
It is also the week before the Long Beach ComiCon.

Please let me know if you are available and interested in participating
with us. As well as if you have any other Star Wars contacts or if you
have any further questions.

Thank you for your time.

I certainly know the place as I worked in Long Beach for 14 years. However, no where near there now. Few of our members who are in that area of LA county seem to participate here (on the msg board).
