Catch the event Saturday starting at 10pm at the Palace of Wonders.
No cover & proceeds go to a fund for victims of violent crime. Read an open letter from the man behind the event below:
Dear reader:
I began “Music is Bulletproof” after my life was changed forever by a random shooting, but this event is not about me, it is about you, your neighbors, and your families. I want to stop this senseless violence and promote the idea of “Love your neighbor like you love yourself “
My shooting occurred in this neighborhood, and the perpetrator lived only a block away. My hope is that by coming together as a community, and reaching out to those around us, we can maintain a safer and happier society. I want people from all ages and races in our community to come together at events like “Music is Bulletproof” to get to know one another, and support Victims of Violent Crimes in our area.
Music is Bullet Proof is not going to stop the violence in the neighborhood, but hopefully it can remind us that we need to make a change and be more involved in seeking to make our neighborhood a safer place.
Some of the music I play during Music is Bulletproof is inspired by musicians that were victims of gun violence (like Marvin Gaye, John. Lennon) but I will spin all types of music. My hope is that you will come out, have a great time, get to know a few neighbors, and hopefully help raise a little money for the victims of violent crime fund.
The next “Music is Bulletproof” event will take place at “The Palace of Wonders” located on H and 12th Street N.E.
Saturday 21st at 10:00 p.m. There is never a cover charge for Music is Bulletproof, and there is no obligation to give any money, but donations for the victims fund will be gladly accepted at the bar.
Sincerely: Luis “Quike” Morales a.k.a. dj Key-K
