WHEN: CLOSEUP FOREVER SUMMER POSTPONED TO A LATER DATE / FOXES, REBECCA & FIONA AT REPUBLIQ

 

I know this is supposed to be a "forever summer" party, but the unexpected visit of the category 5 typhoon Yolanda / Haiyan negated the theme.

Let's all find time to pray for everyone's recovery and prioritize safety first. Good job CloseUp. First, for making sure you get them to an indoor location for security. Secondly, for STILL thinking of the ticket buyers' welfare and not pushing a location a lot smaller than the expected attendees. I know how CloseUp Summer Solstice went, and it doesn't surprise me how much you guys want to give us the ultimate summer party experience :)

Will keep you posted for the new date. Check http://closeupforeversummer.com/ for the FAQs. 

But hey hey! You can still party with Foxes and Rebecca & Fiona tonight (November 9), together with Ace Ramos, Mars Miranda and Martin Pulgar at Republiq Club! Wanna hear the best part? Proceeds is for the benefit of Typhoon Yolanda victims, so come party with charity!;)
