The
Empire Strikes Cleveland!
|
| The
Empire Strikes Cleveland
was
just the first of what hopes to be a long running
event in northern Ohio put on by myself (Josh Vardous
) in collaboration with Hardcore Marketing Inc (a
band management / marketing / promotions firm in
Cleveland). Earlier this month, Star Wars came to
town and did a 'number' or two on the Odeon Concert
Club on the West Bank of the Flats in downtown Cleveland.
Local rock bands and Star Wars fan club/groups from
Ohio and neighboring states were the main attraction
for this show bringing in quite a diverse crowd
of fans for both. Vendors from the surrounding area
were also on hand to set up shop and sell their
Star Wars goodies. Another note of interest was
the Star Wars video gaming area that held various
Star Wars games throughout the past couple decades
for all to enjoy. While the 'Empire' was out in
force and generally causing a disturbance, local
rock bands covered 6 hours of music entertainment
on the main stage making their presence felt as
much as Darth Vader did. Thanks to all who had helped
out in any shape or form and to everyone that came
out and made this event such a success. Hope to
see each and everyone of you out the next time the
Empire comes to town! May the Force be with you!
