Now really, when was the last time you got lost in Oberlin?
We’re not talking about the navigational sense. Oberlin is probably one of the easiest college towns to get around in. No, we mean the way one gets lost when immersed in great music, art, theater, dance, and culture. An escape from the ordinary stuff of daily life. An escape into the spectacular.
That’s the plan for Oberlin’s first venture with CoolCleveland.com, the network connecting the inboxes of 30,000 northeast Ohioans, informing them about the area’s latest news and events.
Oberlin College is proud to announce that Cool Cleveland’s legendary parties are moving outside the city’s environs for the first time with “Get Lost in Oberlin,” a premiere party for Lost Highway, Olga Neuwirth’s dramatic music theater work based on the film by David Lynch.
The party takes place on Thursday, February 8,
from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., followed by a performance of "Lost Highway" at
8 p.m., included free with your Cool Cleveland party ticket.
The hub of the action is the Feve (known for the evening as the Lost Highway Diner), where partygoers will enjoy jazz performed by Oberlin students Sullivan Fortner ’08, Charlie Foldesh ’07, and Chris Mees ’09 (aka the New Music Trio), dine on an array of delectables, and indulge in select spirits. Satellite party locations are the Ginko Gallery and Studio, where guests will be served chocolate desserts and libations; the Firelands Association for the Visual Arts (FAVA), where coffee, tea, and more desserts will be offered; and Ben Franklin/Mindfair Books, where novelist Barry Gifford, who cowrote the Lost Highway screenplay with David Lynch, will be on hand to sign copies of his books.
