This is the second time this event is being held. The first time we had <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sepiamutiny.com\/sepia\/archives\/004613.html\" target=_blank>a highly successful night last July where over a 120 people showed up<\/a> to Bar Bollywood. The model for this type of event was based on D.C.&#8217;s Subcontinental Drift (which Anna has coincidentally just posted about as I&#8217;ve been writing this). The purpose of this event is to put a brighter spotlight on all the talented desi and desi-inspired artists we have here in the Houston area.<\/div>\n\n<p><center><img class=picture height=225 hspace=0 src=\"http:\/\/www.sepiamutiny.com\/sepia\/images\/IMG_1349.JPG\" width=300 vspace=10 border=0><\/center><\/p>\n\n<p>On stage (yes, we have a stage this time) we will have a ridiculously good drum circle (they stole the show last time), two comedians, a couple of singers, a drama piece by <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.shunyatheatre.org\/\" target=_blank>Shunya<\/a>, a dance, spoken word, and a fabulous DJ.<\/p>\n\n<p>Details:<\/p>\n\n<p><center><strong>Location:<\/strong> <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.theproletariathouston.com\/\" target=_blank>The Proletariat<\/a><\/center>\n<center><a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q&#038;hl=en&#038;geocode=&#038;time=&#038;date=&#038;ttype=&#038;q=903+Richmond+Ave,+Houston,+TX+77006+US&#038;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&#038;sspn=26.812565,59.765625&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;ll=29.736359,-95.390189&#038;spn=0.007155,0.014591&#038;z=16&#038;iwloc=addr&#038;om=0\" target=_blank>903 Richmond Ave, Houston, TX 77006 US<\/a> \n<center>When: Wednesday, January 23, 8:30p.m.-12:00a.m. <\/center><\/p>\n\n<p align=left>Please come on time because we will begin promptly at 9p.m. and you&#8217;ll regret missing any of the talent we&#8217;ve got lined up. <strong><font size=4>No charge<\/font><\/strong>. <em>And<\/em> we will still be signing up people for the South Asian Bone Marrow Registry.
