EVENT - OCT 30th -TAZ ARNOLD & CURTAINS


"...to me the true geniuses of fashion are people like Curtains (the Brooklyn rapper), Chris Julian (owner of Fruition in Vegas), and, of course, Taz Arnold of Sa-Ra. Those three are at the forefront because they mix-and-match vintage and archive pieces to develop their own new styles." - Kanye West (Complex Magazine, April '07)

TISA, MCM, &Still, and High Society Lifestyle Co. invite you to witness "THE MESSAGE". On Oct. 30th 2008 at 9pm, the doors open to the biggest fashion extravaganza L.A has ever witnessed! Live auction of the new TISA x MCM collection, Best dressed contest, and a Live performance by Taz Arnold of Sa-Ra and Pac Division. This is pop art in its purest form.


Hosted by: Taz Arnold and Curtains

EVENT - OCT 15th - Help Needed !!!!

Hey All!!

So, these are very exciting times and Barack the Vote has tons of fun events coming up this month!! The most recent one is a Barack the Vote Comedy Show, that we are hosting next Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Tommy Davidson is hosting it and they have lined up quite a few other comedians that are performing as well. To name a few, Chris Spencer will be there as well as AJ Jamal. BIZ Markie will be spinning at the event as well!! YAY!!

Anyways, I need the help of anyone I can get this month, especially this event!! This is a FREE SHOW!!! The catch is, there's always a catch :-)...to enter you must register to vote (if you haven't already), all those who have registered already are just going to be checked off of the list and then be able to go in (still free). In saying all of this, we are going to have like 10 voter registration tables and we need people (you!!) to man them and keep everything as organized as we can!!

Oh and if you know of any others who would like to help, by all means...pass along the info!!
Here is all pertinent information:


The Wilshire Theater
8440 Wilshire Blvd.
Beverly Hills, CA 90211
Doors open at 7PM
Show PROMPTLY begins at 8PM

We would need you (if you are available) to be there at 5:30pm to help setting up and get instructions on what you will be doing! Everyone will be in Barack the Vote T-Shirts, so that we will all be uniform!! No, you do not have to buy yet ANOTHER shirt form us! :-) We are providing everyone with the same LIMITED EDITION Barack the Vote T!

So, if you can help, please do! I appreciate everyone's help throughout this whole year in all of our endeavors, but it's not over!!! We must keep trucking until the final hour!!

I love you all!!!

P.S. Pls. let me know sooner than later, so that we will have a proper head count of volunteers.
P.P.S. I am attaching the flyer also, so please pass it on to whomever you can!!! Send it to blogs, everyone!!!

Factor in $2 Long Islands and I’m pretty much sold. Also, stay tuned - I think I’m gonna start hosting these things again pretty soon.

CONCERT - OCT 15th - JAY Z


Who’s big enough to throw some attention back on the venerable Hollywood Palladium, which has been shuttered for most of the last year while undergoing a complete makeover? Think of a rapper whose name rhymes with cray-zee, which is what hip-hop fans are likely to go at the prospect of catching one of the genre’s biggest names in a facility with a maximum capacity of about 4,000.

Yes, Jay-Z will bring his game to the Palladium on Oct. 15, backed by a 12-piece band. Tickets will go on sale Sept. 5.

The goal of the renovation by facility operator Live Nation is to restore it to the state it was in when it opened Sept. 23, 1940, with a performance by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and that big band’s on–the-rise singer, one Frank Sinatra, who was then about 18 months away from scoring his first chart hit under his own name.

“I’m honored to play such an iconic venue,” Jay-Z said in a statement issued today. "Just as Frank ushered in a golden era, I hope this opening will mark the beginning of a resurgence in generation-defining live music.”

The renovation covers the entire interior and exterior of the venue, with a new dance floor, a new façade replicating the original architecture and other changes made in keeping with the building’s original look, Live Nation officials said.

Among those who have performed at the Palladium in recent decades have been the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Metallica, Public Enemy, the Sex Pistols, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and No Doubt.
