Who says Latino life behind the Orange Curtain is dead? Between fighting gentrification and anti-Semitic fools, la naranja is brimming with activities for Latinos looking for a good time and everyone else willing to go native! Today, I'll promote three such events happening in downtown SanTana: pocho supreme Lalo Alcaraz at Calacas doing his chingaderas, public intellectual Gregorio Luke preaching on Abraham Lincoln and Benito Juarez at the historic Yost Theater, and Latino-lit blogger supreme Daniel Olivas moderating a discussion on the anthology Latinos in Lotusland at the world's best bookstore, Libreria Martinez!
The details: Latinos in Lotusland discussion at Libreria Martinez, 1110 N. Main St., SanTana. Saturday, 3 p.m-6 p.m., (714) 973-7900. Free
Lalo Alcaraz at Calacas, 324 W. 4th St. #B, SanTana, (714) 662-2002; www.calacasinc.com. Saturday, 7 p.m. Free.
Gregorio Luke at the Yost Theater, 307 N. Spurgeon Street SanTana. Call Calacas for info. Sunday, 5 p.m. Español, 7:30 p.m. Spanish. $5 for matinee, $10 evening
Soundtrack for today's show: "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles (naturally), and probably something else literary-related. Stay tuned...

Relevant, high-falutin' quote of the week: ¡Lea un libro! (Read a book!)

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhen I design custom invitations, I offer to design custom postage for my clients to complete the look of their invitation package. The party starts when the guests open their invitations, so setting the tone of the party with the invitation is important. But even before the envelope is opened, the first impression the guest has of the invitation is what’s on the outside.
