Memorial Celebration for Al Attara December 14 3pm

Austin Tang — Sat, 14 Dec 2024 18:21:05 +0000

Dear Friends,

It’s been a while, and I hope this email finds you all well.

I’m reaching out to share an invitation for those that might have missed the original email sent out recently…

After over 20+ wonderful years in the neighborhood, Earth Speaks will be closing its doors in the coming week, as Bi will be moving on to new creative ventures. Everything must go and is currently 50% off – please help support and spread the word

As a special farewell, Bi will be hosting a special store closing event for friends tomorrow Saturday Dec 14th from 3pm-8pm (see flyer + details from Bi below).

I hope you can come by!

Sending love to everyone.

Jen

ps.

Here’s a little video I meant to share with everyone ages ago! One of the last times many of us gathered in celebration of Al at Earth Speaks back in 2023

From Bi:

Hi friends, family, and neighbors,

After 24 wonderful years, Earth Speaks is closing its doors, and I’d love for you to join me in celebrating the memories and moments we’ve shared.

On December 14th, 2024, I’ll be hosting a store closing event, and I invite you to come and choose items that hold special meaning for me.

In the spirit of continuance beyond this farewell, I’m offering a “pay what you wish” donation pledge, with all proceeds going to the store’s GoFundMe fund.

Each item carries its own unique significance, and it would mean the world to both me and Al if you took a piece of this journey with you.

Thank you for your support over the years. I hope to see you there.
Warmly,

Bi Li

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since Al’s passing.

I began writing several versions for this email invite, struggling to find the right words to express how much he is dearly missed.. each and every day.

With a profound sense of gratitude for all of the memories and wonderful connections he made possible-

I found myself crying, as I deleted each one…

And at the end of everything, all I could hear was Al’s voice, saying:

“Jen, just send the damn invite.”

So here it is.

If you’re in town, please join us for a (better late than never!) memorial service to celebrate the life of our friend Al.

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Hope to see you there.

Dionne Warwick is getting her own street in N.J. Will you walk on by?

Austin Tang — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:57:52 +0000

Amy Kuperinsky | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Dionne Warwick is just weeks away from being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

But before then, she’ll accept another honor.

East Orange is renaming a street for her to celebrate her upbringing in the city.

Warwick’s name is coming to North Arlington Avenue.

“Can you imagine?” Warwick, 83, said in a video sharing the news. “A whole street in my name. So I want all of you to be there to celebrate with me, OK?”

The ceremony will be Oct. 11 at 1 p.m. on North Arlington Avenue at City Hall Plaza in East Orange.

Mayor Ted Green and the city council will be there to celebrate Warwick.

The music icon, a longtime resident of South Orange, grew up in East Orange and graduated from East Orange High School.

“Dionne Warwick, a truly incomparable legend, has always been a source of pride for East Orange,” Green said in a statement. “Her extensive body of work as a musician and her legacy as a humanitarian is truly remarkable. It is our honor to commemorate her enduring legacy with this street renaming right in the vibrant heart of our Arts District, where her influence will continue to inspire and uplift the next generation of talented artists each and every day.”

The Dionne Warwick Institute of Entrepreneurship and Economics on Central Avenue in East Orange stands as a tribute to the Grammy-winning singer.

The street renaming joins a long list of honors Warwick has received in recent years and beyond. Just last year she was celebrated at the Kennedy Center Honors. Of course, the tweeting public also anointed her Queen of Twitter, which made her a regular character on “Saturday Night Live.”

The documentary “Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over,” released in 2021, follows the course of Warwick’s life as an artist and her history of HIV-AIDS activism (along with that time she summoned Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight to her home to grill them about gangsta rap).
