ReadysetDC, the “Creative Urban Enterprise” will hold
its official launch party on December 10th, 2009 at the newly reopened Long View Gallery at 1234
9th Street NW. The theme and title “For the Love of DC” reflects the website’s mission to promote
and spotlight the urban renaissance that’s happening here in the nation’s capital and coincides with
ReadysetDC’s new site redesign. “For the Love of DC” also marks the beginning of the ReadysetDC
creative agency; offering branding, web design, photography, video, writing, marketing and new
media services.
“For the Love of DC” is an RSVP only affair and will feature several artist exhibitions as well as three
live performances. There will be four photography exhibitions; Tracy Clayton, Lillian Cho, Paul
Frederiksen and Vincent Gallegos, all DC-based photographers and contributers to ReadysetDC.
Also included, will be the nationally recognized artists of “No Kings” Collective who will provide an
original art installation coinciding with the event’s theme. “For the Love of DC” will feature DC music
acts; DJ Tittsworth, Bullfight Academy featuring hip hop artist duo Henry Mills & DJ Fleg (AWR) and a
special surprise rock band. The event will begin at 7pm with viewing of the art installation and photog-
raphy. Performances will start at 7:30pm and run until midnight. Light fare and drinks will be available.
“For the Love of DC” will be an interactive experience, working with our sponsors, HP, Intel and Best
Buy, to facilitate live testing of the HP ENVY. Event goers will have a chance to win a new Envy 15
Beats Limited Edition, which will be raffled off by DJ Tittsworth. Raffle tickets will be on sale at the
event for $5 each. A majority of the proceeds will benefit Arts for the Aging, Inc. (AFTA) a 501(c)(3)
