In response to the recent tragedy in Haiti, LBPP has teamed up with LBCreative.org, 562 City Life, and a slew of other local organizations and artists to form a Long Beach "Artists Response" to the quake called "Carnival Del Corazon" or Carnival of the Heart. Long Beach Party Project has been helping with logistics as well as coordinating the night time show @ The Cellar. It's a jam packed night of AWESOME local bands, and all we are asking is a $5 donation, which 100% of proceeds go directly to the Yele Haiti Relief fund that was started by musician Wyclef Jean.

The show starts at 8pm @ The Cellar with 2 stages of music. On the Quentins Acoustic Stage starting at 8:30pm we have Stevie Merino doing spoken word, and then acoustic sets by Alyssandra & the Daybreakers, Tony Serrato, Devin Haas, and Chad Bishop. Downstairs on the Cellar Stage starting at 9pm we have Hotel, Waterlaso, Eugene & The 1914, Bethpage Black, The Lyrics Game, and The Vespertines. This show is just the night portion of Carnival Del Corazon, keep reading for all the details on the family friendly daytime event just down the street at Hancock University.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and LBPP will be hosting a special event dubbed "My Big FAT Greek Valentine's" @ George's Greek Cafe on Pine avenue. Come party by the fountain while you drink, dine, & dance the night away. The party starts at 6pm and goes till 11pm on February, 14th, and all ages are welcome!. $30 ($25 if you register on the LBPP guest list) gets you a 6 item unlimited buffet dinner which includes: Gyro (Lamb & Beef), Pita, Spanakopites (Filo triangles stuffed with feta and spinach), Keftehes (Greek meatballs), Tomato+Feta+Olive skewers, and Humus & Tzantziki dips will be served along with 2 complimentary drink tickets good for wells, beers, and house wine. Your 2 drink tickets are also good for a drawing for a $40 George's Gift Card.

The night will also feature live music provided by local band Majic Bullet Theory, a jazz, indie, funk, fusion outfit playing 2 sets at 7pm and 9pm, and live painting by local artists Daniel Quinonez. All paintings done the night of the event will be silently auctioned off to benefit local charity Gazette Hearts for Long Beach.

Like art? Like music? How about a mashup of both? Live painting to live music is the theme for the new Stoney Pines Gallery that is now open at 517 Pine Ave. in Downtown Long Beach. In a partnership with the DLBA, local art organizations have developed temporary working gallery spaces in vacant commercial space along the Pine Avenue corridor. LBPP was excited to hear more art coming to all the empty and lifeless store fronts in downtown LB, so we decided to jump on board with the cause and present you some great local artists and musicians in this new art gallery. Keep your eye out for more spaces, activities and events.

Join LBPP and Tinderbox! Saturday, January, 23rd as we kick off this brand new art space on Pine ave. with live music by The Ming Band & Fastforward_Rewind Dj's. This FREE event starts at 7pm and ends at 10pm so you have plenty of time to stop by before the night gets crackin'.

People are broke damn it! Well, the economy has taken its toll on everyone that I know, which is why LBPP has decided to do a local toy drive! Bring a toy valued at $5 or more to Taco Beach on December 19th and get 2 for 1 drinks from 8-11pm. Wear your ugliest sweater too, because we are giving away prizes for THE ugliest! Be some local kids secret santa and spread some of that holidaze goodness. All toys will be distributed locally by Christian Outreach in Action.
