Friday night YBCA presents:
The Missing Peace: Artists Consider the Dalai Lama
OPENING NIGHT PARTY
Fri, Nov 30, 8-11 pm
Works by more than 88 artists from 30 countries in a landmark exhibition that offers up art as a lens through which we experience our common humanity. Established and emerging artists, celebrities and others, have been invited to create works that capture the essence of His Holiness and his mission of peace. The exhibition, which has been attracting large crowds at every tour venue from Los Angeles to New York, has an explicitly moral and educational purpose: to promote engagement with essential questions of values and ethics. Artists include Marina Abramovic, Seyed Alavi, Laurie Anderson, Richard Avedon, Sanford Biggers, Squeak Carnwath, Long-Bin Chen, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Chuck Close, Santiago Cucullu, Binh Danh, Richard Gere, Jim Hodges, Jenny Holzer, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Anish Kapoor, Kimsooja, Enrique Martinez Celaya, Michal Rovner, Sebastiao Salgado, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Mike and Doug Starn, Pat Steir, Adriana Varejao, Bill Viola, William Wiley, Negishi Yoshiro and many more.
Festivities for the evening include:
• Performances by Cambodian pop band Dengue Fever and the Non-Stop Bhangra Collective.
• 7x7 magazine's Weekend in the City raffle package for a tranquil hotel stay, dinner for two at Le Colonial and a peaceful afternoon at Kamala Spa.
• Tastings of Samovar Tea Lounge's The Missing Peace tea blend, Ocean of Wisdom—an organic, fair trade herbal infusion to relax your body and your mind.
• Inside the Cup, a short documentary of the making of The Cup, an acclaimed film about soccer-obsessed Tibetan monks. Repeats continuously 8–11 pm.
Saturday night UnderSkatement Film Festival:

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
