Tweets abound: Arirang World Peace Festival in Washington D.C. open to the public?

— Cloud cover by: Stephe, Managing Editor ^@@^

{*Edited to Add: Terri has made a new Cloudburst D.C. topic over on the Cloud USA Forum for you all who would like to meet up in Washington D.C. for the Arirang festival. This will make it much easier for you to correspond with each other and coordinate…! ^@@^}

We are taking this with a grain of salt and rooting around for additional information, and we suggest you all do the same! The phone number listed is in South Korea. The South Korean website for JiArt Media is now simply a domain page. The phone numbers for JiArt Media in the U.S.A. are not being answered, and all they have here is a brief Facebook page. JiArt was very instrumental in Insooni’s performance at Carnegie Hall in NYC a few years ago, so it is indeed probable that they are handling this festival… There is also a “It’s public/It’s private” controversy going on. The only recourse for Clouds right now seems to be the email address listed below, until we see what else comes down the pike… ^@@^
