Move-On.org Inauguration Celebration Party,
Private Home Near Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA
Tuesday, January 20th, 6-9 p.m.
The Move-on event was hosted by a wonderful couple, Boualem (originally from France) and his wife Sharon and included a very diverse, friendly, warm group of people. It was in Boualem and Sharon's backyard under a large, old California oak. There was a toast, a candle ceremony, great spirit, incredible spoken word poetry, live middle eastern folk music, and spirited, spontaneous folk dancing. Toward the end of the night there was a fairytale-like visitation from two four-month old twins named Nicholas and Alexander.
