Other Half Entertainment, The Laura Branigan Management and Production Company, and LauraBraniganOnline.com, The Official Laura Branigan Website, are pleased to host the 2008 Laura Branigan Spirit Of Love Memorial Gathering.

The fourth annual gathering will take place on Long Island, New York from Friday, August 22 through Sunday, August 24, 2008 at the La Quinta Inn & Suites Islip - MacArthur Airport (click for hotel website), which is located close to where Laura last resided. For specific hotel details, please click on the "Event Hotel Information" link found at the bottom of the page.

This weekend will be filled with remembrances of Laura as well as fun activities. To commemorate and reflect upon the fourth anniversary of Laura's passing, we will again be traveling to the ocean for a Beach Memorial, and will also hold a Candlelight Memorial at the hotel. Also planned is a memorabilia display, where we invite attendees to bring their own personal Laura items and photos from their collections that they would like to share with others. In addition, the weekend will include lots of Laura music and video, a viewing of Laura's Hold Me Tour rehearsal, Trivia Contest, Fan Forum, and more. A very special video of Laura’s final performance with her band, from January 2004 at the Mohegan Sun, will also be shown. To view the event itinerary, please click on the link at the at the bottom of the page.

On Sunday, August 24, we will once again spend the day out and about in various areas of the Hamptons, including East Quogue, where Laura resided, featuring a drive by her home. This outing provides a great opportunity to get outdoors, enjoy the beautiful area, and spend more social time together beyond the more "programmed" aspects of the gathering. Please note that all the main scheduled activities in remembrance of Laura will take place on Friday and Saturday, which will accomodate those who may need to depart on Sunday due to work or other reasons.

Participants will receive commemorative event material, an event T-shirt, and will be eligible for various giveaways throughout the weekend.

It's hard to adequately put into words the awesome time that has been had by all who have attended this event since its inception in 2005. Something very special occurs when Laura's "other half" come together, united by our common love for Laura and our heartfelt commitment to ensure that she is never forgotten. It's a comfortable familiarity of being with those who truly "get it" when it comes to Laura Branigan. We hope to see those who have
attended past gatherings return to Long Island for the 2008 Spirit Of Love, and we also look forward to meeting those of you who will join us for the first time as we all come together to remember Laura.

The memorial gathering is a great opportunity to spend time with old friends, to make new ones, and to keep Laura’s memory alive and carry forth her legacy!

On behalf of Other Half Entertainment and LauraBraniganOnline.com, we cordially invite you to attend the 2008 Laura Branigan Spirit Of Love Memorial Gathering and join with Laura's "other half" to remember her in very special ways!
