Feel The Dream

Dunno if this fits in the Osocio format but I like it. The people of feelthedream.org organise a big global party on Thursday 28th August 2008; the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.
If you’re a DJ, club promoter or party thrower, then all they ask of you is to build a special climactic sequence into your mix on the night of the 28th of August or anytime over the following Friday night/weekend, knowing that at the high point the audience will be ready to raise their hands to make the ‘Free At Last’ exclamation. All events will be used to promote Amnesty International.
