E-3 Events at MACC, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing together Jews in their 20s, 30s and 40s, has opened online ticket sales to Heebonism 2014, a Christmas Eve tradition in Colorado. All proceeds from this annual event go back into the Denver community.
The annual celebration is the largest local gathering of young and youngish Jewish professionals all year. Heebonism, with an expected attendance of more than 500 revelers, returns to The 1up – Colfax, the vintage video games and concert venue.
“It’s hard to believe that this is our seventh Heebonism,” said Eric Elkins, who, along with Ean Seeb and Ezra Shanken, formed E-3 Events in 2008. “And with so much positive response to last year’s party at The 1up – Colfax, we just had to go back. Our 500 friends loved the variety of experiences available all evening long, with video games and conversation in the arcade, and music-filled goodness in the ballroom area.”
“I’m thrilled that we have talented friends coming to play with us this year, including the one and only Kosha Dillz, who will be freestyling his way through the party, and our pal ‘Rabbi’ Ben Kronberg, who burned down ‘Last Comic Standing,’” said co-founder Seeb. “We’ll also have several popular local DJs spinning the good stuff — DJ A/C will kick things off, then perennial favorite DJ Amuse will turn up the heat. And Denver’s rising star, DJ Goodie, is going to crush it until early Christmas morning.”
“We’re stoked to host Heebonism again this year,” said Jourdan Adler, owner of The 1up clubs and a longtime supporter of E-3 Events. “Last year’s killer party showcased our new venue for the local community. This year will be bigger and better.” In December of 2013, Adler’s company expanded The 2up vintage arcade and bar further into its historic Colfax digs, adding a music venue and a raised stage (and a new name).
Heebonism 2013 also marks the end of the second year of E-3 Events’ partnership with the Mizel Arts & Culture Center at the Jewish Community Center.
“I love working with the E-3 team,” said Lisa Whipple, honorary ‘E’ and logistics goddess. “I’m proud that the money we raise at Heebonism goes back into the community, funding future Jewish cultural events in Denver.”
Heebonism 2014 starts at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, with a free hour of cocktails from TINCUP Whiskey and 1800 Tequila. For the seventh year, E-3 is maintaining its low price of admission: $18 in advance, or $25 at the door. The door price will be discounted to $20 for anyone who brings three non-perishable food items for Jewish Family Service of Colorado.
