Everyone's favorite Fugee is coming out with a new cd, and before he does, he's gonna sit down at the Nissan Live set (on the Fox lot, we believe) and record some live tracks for Yahoo!
Which rhymes with "we love you", and because we do, we are up to passing along this info:
Yahoo! Music and Columbia Records want you to join us when Wyclef Jean takes the stage for Nissan Live Sets in West Los Angeles, CA. November 5, 2007
7 pm (subject to change, you need to arrive two hours before)
Location: West Los Angeles
The first 200 fans to email us at Invite@YahooLiveSets.com will get in the doors for this exclusive taping. Plus you get to bring a friend. Please email us your name, your location, and tell us how much of a fan you are of Wyclef Jean! We will contact you if you are chosen to attend.
Please do not send multiple emails.
You must be at least 13 years old to attend. Fans under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
