Resident Pure Night Club DJ Tweets Racist Remarks

Wed, 16 May 2012 10:49:49 -0700

Hello All OAers,

We have received numerous request regarding the tweet below. This tweet is from the account of DJ Shift, a resident DJ of Pure Night Club at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. He has deleted the tweet since then, but a formal apology has yet to be released. The irony out of all this is that his profile picture has “No H8” on it.

If you are interested in voicing your opinion to Pure Night Club regarding this matter, you can contact Angel Management Group at 702-212-8804

AJ Rafael and The Music Speaks Committee Present The Red Roses Formal “Prom”: A Benefit Night of Fun and Excitement to Raise Awareness for Autism

“Prom,” which is open to the public, features a sit down dinner, live musical performances, and celebrity guest appearances

LOS ANGELES, CA (MAY 8, 2012) – AJ Rafael and The Music Speak[s Committee cordially invite the public, celebrity friends, and family to the Red Roses Formal: “Prom,” on the evening of Friday, June 22, 2012 at the breath-taking Royal Vista Country Club in Walnut, California from 8pm-1am. Proceeds from the Red Roses Formal will go towards production expenses for the annual Music Speaks concert series, which all donations are given to the Orange County Walk Now for Autism Speaks. Further, funds will be allocated into laying the groundwork for future community projects to raise awareness about Autism.

After three years of successful “Music Speaks” concerts, founded by AJ Rafael, The Music Speaks Committee plan to make the concert series bigger than ever in order to raise more funds for Autism awareness. Past performances have included JR Aquino, Jennifer Chung, Passion, Gabe Bondoc, and Quest Dance Crew.

“A personal experience that inspired this goal is my nephew, Nathan, who was diagnosed with Autism when he was two years old. As he grows older, these misunderstandings could lead to prejudice and pain throughout his life” states AJ Rafael. “’Prom’ is a chance for guests, friends, and our family to get together and raise awareness for something extremely special.”

Guests must be 16 years old or older to purchase a ticket. General ticket price is currently $60.00. Starting June 1, 2012, ticket prices will increase to $67.00. The last day to purchase ticket will be on June 17, 2012. All tickets can be purchased at http://ajrafael.bigcartel.com/product/red-roses-formal-2012-ticket.

In true “Prom” fashion, purchase of a general admission includes a hand-made mailed invitation and ticket, an Italian dinner buffet, and a copy of AJ Rafael’s Red Roses album. There will be special musical performances by the Red Roses House Band, under the direction of TJ Brown and AJ Rafael, and Tori Kelley.

Formal attire, in red, black, or white, is strictly enforced. ID and ticket is mandatory in order to enter the venue. The Royal Country Club is located at 20055 Colima Rd. Walnut, CA 91789. Self parking and valet parking is located in front of the venue.

An update: Janet Liang’s progress with her battle against leukemia.

Hi TheOtherAsians! Could you spare a moment to help Janet Liang? If you don't know her story, she's a recent UCLA grad who's currently battling leukemia (after relapsing around Christmas). She NEEDS to find a marrow match by this June. We're trying to mobilize the Asian American community to help her find a match ASAP. Time's running out. Could you reblog Janet's latest health update video on the Helping Janet's Tumblr? That's all we're asking for. Thanks so much. Peace and love, Team Janet.
