Hi guys,
If you have an old Nintendo console you can lend to us for a fund raising event: Sending Love to Sendai - Photos + Music, please contact June (tojunewow@gmail.com) or PM me. We are going to have retro games so visitors can have fun! It is only for the day and you can be there to look after your console if you don't trust us.

There will be a photography exhibition and concert which will take place at the LoyarBurok Rakyat Centre on the 15th May 2011 and will feature photography of pre-tsunami Japan by photojournalist Colin Boyd Shafer (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Colinizing-Photography/52277639643) .

Colin visited Sendai two months before the tsunami hit and many of his beautiful photos depict the affected areas, some of which have since completely changed.

Two other artists have also offered to donate their photos of Japan to add variety to the work on display. They are local artist Chitoo (who will be donating photos of his unique observations of Tokyo) and music journalist/musician Ben Liew (who will be donating music photography of the indie music scene in Japan).

At the exhibition, all these photos will be made available for sale and all proceeds from the sales will go to Japanese Red Cross Society (http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/index.html).

The event will be emcee-d by the gorgeous Miss World Malaysia 2010 Nadia Heng (http://www.nadiaheng.com/).

There will be star-studded line-up including:

Reza Salleh (http://www.rezasalleh.net/)
Azmyl Yunor (http://www.reverbnation.com/azmylyunor)
The Rollin' Sixers (http://www.myspace.com/rollinsixers)
Cats In Love (http://www.myspace.com/catsinloveband)
Tom Jones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KUJE2xs-RE)

Throughout the exciting evening, there will also be various fun-filled activities including:

1) Photo Wall - a giant photo wall will be set up with 8" x 10" mat-board framed prints. These will be numbered (for the LUCKY DRAW -Oh yeah!) and sold at RM25 each.

2) LUCKY DRAW!!! - (oh ya)Not only will you be supporting this incredible cause by purchasing the prints, you will also stand a chance to win INCREDIBLE prizes! These include: cases of Asahi Beer (24cans), bottles of sake, JUSCO cash vouchers, CDs, t-shirts, assorted unique LoyarBurok merchandise and loads more!

3) Postcard & Haiku writing - Volunteers from Japan Graduates’ Association of Malaysia (JAGAM) will be at hand to help you write messages to tsunami victims in JAPANESE.

4) Video messages - Japanese interpreters will translate your video messages to Japan. These videos will be uploaded to YouTube and shared with everyone in the known and unknown universe(s)!

5) Vintage video games - We'll have a bunch of vintage consoles (remember Sega Genesis and CARTRIDGES?) in our arcade, so come over and play some Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Pacman, Tetris, and much more!

6) Origami table - Cranes are a symbol of hope, so come and make some. All cranes will be told to fly East to spread hope to Japan after the event. But why stop at cranes? You can also make dinosaurs, bears, 3 storey bungalows, Ultraman, etc!

7) Costume display - the Japan Foundation has graciously loaned us some cool Japanese traditional costumes, and these will be worn/displayed by various personalities at the event!

Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and light food (no big dolphins will be sacrificed) will be available for purchase at the event. For those of you hungry hippos there will be more available at Restoran "Gourmet Mamak" Fatima downstairs.

This event is brought to you exclusively and inclusively by JuneWow Events (http://www.junewow.com/) and supported by the only bLAWg Loyar Burok (http://www.loyarburok.com/).
