Back
for our third consecutive year, the VC LoveFest -- arguably, the
most
fun segment of the festival -- is a tradition within a traditon.
Presenting three consecutive days of lovin', LoveFest offers a
perfect
nightcap to a day of intense film festivity and all are located
within a
veritable hop, skip and a jump from the DGA festival central.
After all,
what better way to close a day of love than with a night of more.
Here it is. The Lovin' begins immediately after the festivities
at the DGA
end with our opening night soiree courtesy of the progressive
party people
at Climax Global. Residents J-Swyft, Double-J and Retrospekt serve
up
delicious sounds fronting 3 rooms and 3 fully-stocked bars. Also,
R&B group
AT LAST (Ming-Na Wen's Innovasian Records) will be present to
promote their
new single. Kick your feet up and feel the love.
