NEMO DESIGN VALENTINE'S BENEFIT DANCE

Portland, Oregon – In celebration of the almighty power of love, Nemo Design and Infinity Images will be hosting a Valentine's Day dance and benefit on February 14, 2009 to raise money for our good friend Eric Davidson.

The benefit will take place between 9pm and 1am at 1875 SE Belmont St. Portland, OR 97214. Eric – husband to Nemo's former Director of Production, Anna-Carin Davidson – was hit by a drunk driver while riding his bike on May 10, 2008, and then left lying in the street when the driver fled.

OK, forget flowers and candy and dinners–THIS is what you take your special someone to this Valentine's weekend. Look at that flyer. Nothing says Valentine's like a skull and “badass challenge”. Hey, need a place to crash after all the romantic wining and dining? How about crashing with a cuddly Zoobomber (Email housing@zoobomb.net)?
