A DEEPER LOOK

People the world over define Los Angeles as a premiere world class entertainment hub that satisfies their desire for accommodation, re-

laxation and recreation. The Silver Tongue’s musical and culinary approach will have an emphasis on creating a year round entertainment atmosphere in which people can enjoy nutritional rich cuisine and delicious drinks, with or without alcohol. It will attract both international tourists and locals alike. The 20 degree am-bient temperature drop in the lush outdoor bio interactive environment will further serve as a destina-tion for the summer months. The enterprise will also include a charitable arm, which will focus on educating the public about the ease and merits of the use of permaculture and aquaculture in a modern city, as well as working with issues of hunger and feeding the homeless and mentally ill in our community. The Silver Tongue pro-ject will serve as a new standard in our changing world. It will be a leader in integrating entertain-ment and conscious dining in a unique manner, leading the way to a more sustainable future. It will provide an experience like no other existing music/gastro establishment. When The Silver Tongue launches in Venice and the Westside, the location will speak for itself. With millions of tourists and locals flocking to this area in a changing economy and environment of arts and culture, it has become a year round destination. It will fill a tremendous demand for live music on the Westside in a remarkable environment. The demographics will maintain constant support. The Silver Tongue would fill an important gap in the lack of live music on the Westside. It would al-so offer an alternative to the larger impersonal music venues that exist in Hollywood and downtown. Live music has become a formable economy due to the changing record industry, which has allowed A list musicians and former retired musicians to continue playing and make a living on tour. Once proven in one of these unique cities, it is easily duplicatable and franchised in other metropoli-tan areas and resort communities nationwide such as San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Venice, Las Vegas, Portland, New York, to name a few.

THE FUTURE - FIVE YEARS AND BEYOND The future for The Silver Tongue LLC, includes The Golden Note Amphitheater, a natural in the Coachella Valley with its many beautiful desert canyons and foothill locations. The Golden Note will be a 4000 seat outdoor stone amphitheater with state of the art sound and lighting. Natural shade and cooling will be provided by its own permaculture forest. The same legendary musicians from The Silver Tongue will also perform at the amphitheater. Food and drinks will mirror The Sil-ver Tongue’s offerings, which is unlike any existing live outdoor concert venue. Hospitality service for food and drinks will be offered to patrons in their seats. It will also house retails shops. The perma-culture forest and natural surroundings along with Native American history will provide educational tools for the public.
