WHO: London Moore, Celebrity Nightlife Publicity, Inc.

WHAT: The VIP launch party for "ArtEffect Thursdays" - a night for art and music lovers at the new Medusa Lounge, with music by Vikter Duplaix. Jenn Laskey along with Spin PR Group, Celebrity Nightlife Publicity, Nu-Soul Magazine, and DB3 Productions present a new artistic and musical Thursday Night experience in an untapped area of Los Angeles. At the crossroads of Hollywood, Silverlake, and historic Fillipinotown, sits the exotic and medieval Medusa Lounge. This brilliant new venue will transport guests to another time and place with its exquisite details and haunting ambience.

Medusa Lounge is a hip new restaurant and bar (from the owners of Chin Chin) that sets the scene for a truly unique atmosphere with arched stone, stained glass and intricate wood carvings. Much of Medusa's décor original from the 1920's, such as iron gates and a crystal chandelier, was collected from movie sets over the years. After dinner hours, Medusa continues to serve cocktails to the hip late-night lounge crowd and caters to an array of nightlife styles and scenes. www.medusaloungela.com
