Love it :D:D:D

This Video was created with footage captured 5/2/2008 from EAST:MEETS:WEST- Pandora's Promise (Dark Annual Bellydance Showcase). Serpentine hosts E:M:W each year in Portland, Oregon. Daflew, the creator of this video, blended the footage with one of his favorite musicians, Solace, to create once again the story of Pandora. Thank you, EAST:MEETS:WEST crew for a job well done. The venue was completely packed, the overall vibes were to die for, each performance was unique and breathtaking, the djs rocked and kept the party going, the band set the perfect tone for the evening, lighting was perfect, our MC kept the audience yearning for more, the decorating crew transformed the venue into a temple, the photographers and video crew weren't no rookies, and our stage manager kept the show a'flowing! A Dream come true......
