Thanks Random, PERO—it’s a BIG pile of women events, no? Did you mention that Claudia Rodriguez will read on Friday too for a Prayer for Juarez in Boyle Heights??—–AND MOST IMPORTANT!!!! March 13 & 14 events are at Casa 0101 Annex (a new place, not the little theater) 2102 1st Street at St Louis, across from the Hollenbeck POlice Dept.
Avenue 50’s opening on Saturday March 13, starting at 7pm is located 131 No. Avenue 50 in Highland Park, AND the beautiful piece seen above here is by Alfonso Aceves, called “Hijas de Juarez” and on view at Ave 50.
Thanks for adding to the confusion of the Prayer for Juarez invasion all over the eastside, Random. Hope everyone can make it and find their way over.
Random will stand at the mariachi plaza each night and help people find their way, I’m sure.
The Platica on sunday the 14th at 6pm is being held at Corazón Del Pueblo (not Salon De La Plaza)
2003 E. First St.
