audiotrip - be there from ralston smith on Vimeo.

Last week, on May 18, Liberated Muse, via our Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest, was a community partner for the awesome event which was AudioTRIP, presented by Lil So So Productions and Smirnoff. Check out this video and witness folks converging on LUX Nightclub on a Tuesday evening enjoying music you aren't apt to find on the radio, festing with folks new and old and bringing a new spin to what entertainment looks like.  AudioTRIP is set to happen later this year, I bet you that you won't want to miss it. Enjoy.

And of course swapping is a great way to reduce landwaste and promote recycling. And what better way to give your purse a vacay and meet new people!

Please bring AT LEAST 5 pieces of your gently used SUMMER clothing and accessories. That's it. Swap for as long and as much you like.

Artist Lady Pcoq will be the hostess for the afternoon. Cam Jus will supply swapping sounds. The General Store Inc's Official Summer Swap Mix II available for free while supplies last.
