dada again

We just received word that the 3rd Annual Dada All-Star Classic, which will be held on Sunday April 18, 1999 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion will feature some big time talent. You already know about the on-court stuff, but there's going to be some pretty interesting off-court talent too, and they've secured some pretty big sponsors. According to a press release we just received, Slam Magazine will develop all the poster, Delta Airlines has agreed to fly all the participants to and from the event, and the Marriott will supply the rooms for all participants. But the best is that Priority Records has agreed to provide live entertainment, and they are working on securing the talents of other music personalities, including Zzibit (Loud Records) Alkoholics (Loud Records) and Snoop Dog (No Limit).

There will be two games, a US v. West Game at 5:00 p.m. and an All-Southern California game at 3:00 p.m. (Blue v. White). Tickets are $8.00 for adults, $6.00 for students and will be available the day of the game at the UCLA Ticket Office outside of Pauley Pavilion.

The Dada Classic is also looking for others to participate as sponsors in the event. If you are interested in sponsoring the Dada All-Star Classic, or otherwise want to get involved, call Damisha Jones at Dada Footwear at (213) 625-7373, (213) 625-7030 (Fax) or e-mail at Dajpr22@aol.com
