DESCRIPTION:Hey folks, thanks for taking a look at what we've got going on. It's a 
 great night of music to benefit a great cause. For the full rundown, please 
 visit www.sodope.com.\n\nDirect Effect\n\nSilent Auction and Dance Party to 
 benefit the after-school program at El Dorado Elementary\n\nThursday, May 
 31\n8 pm - 1:30 pm\n\nMighty 119 Utah St. SF, CA\n$7 before 9 pm\n$12 - $20 
 sliding scale after\n\nTHE CAUSE\nIn this age of "no child left behind," 
 funding for arts and music in public schools has been drastically cut. For 
 many students, these programs provide a much-needed escape from the rest of 
 their lives. At El Dorado Elementary, which serves the areas around the 
 Sunnydale housing projects, we are trying to expose students to a myriad of 
 artistic genres and give them tools to express themselves creatively 
 throughout the rest of their lives.\n\nThe after-school program serves over 
 one-third of the school population and is one place these student can 
 experience classes in music, dance, theater, art, and environmental 
 education. For the 2007 - 2008 school year we are planning to offer 
 instruction on hip-hop (taught by Sisterz of the Underground), Planet Art, 
 Tree Frog Treks, drumming, and digital photography.\n\nThese classes were 
 not available this year, partially because our after-school funding has 
 been at an all-time low. All proceeds from this event will go directly into 
 funding these programs.\n\nTHE CELEBRATION\nCome early for the seven-piece 
 El Dorado All Stars band, featuring John Calloway playing Latin and Cuban 
 favorites. As the night progresses, get your groove on with live trio Brian 
 Jordan & Friends starring the guitar genius himself. They will join San 
 Francisco's finest DJ's J Tonal  & Ribotto (New School Hip-Hop/Live Keys), 
 Majitope (FunkDubTechHouse), and James Christopher with vocalist Audio 
 Angel (Drum & Bass) keepin' the beats hard and the dance floor hot. Expect 
 a thrilling appearance by S.F. b-girls Extra Credit (Sisterz of the 
 Underground). \n\nHyptnotic visuals provided by Kaia.\n\nAll proceeds will 
 go towards funding art, music, and environmental education classes offered 
 in El Dorado Elementary's after-school program. Make an impact! Make a 
 direct effect!\n\nFor additional information and auction items visit
