Art, Music & Bicycles - East Hollywood Artcycle 2010
I attended the 1st Annual East Hollywood Artcycle last year and had a crackerjack time. This year promises to be even more exciting with a new location and another afternoon choc-full of music, art, food and yes, bicycles. Throw in exotic salsa dancers, art galleries, Killsonic gypsy jazz, Dublab DJ sets and a few more [...]
Living Legend: Honeyboy Carries on the Delta Tradition in 2010
This week marks the end of Black History Month, and if we had to choose one living African American who has made the biggest cultural contribution in the past century, 94-year-old music legend David “Honeyboy” Edwards would seem a pretty clear choice.

LA’s “Spoken Funk” is the best of both worlds– the worlds of comedy and poetry, to be exact. The locally-touring show [...]
The Other Mardi Gras: Carnaval Goes Stateside
When most people think of Mardi Gras, a.k.a. “Fat Tuesday,” they inevitably think of booze and beads on the streets of New Orleans. But there’s a south-of-the-Equator party city whose pre-Lent debauchery easily puts the Big Easy to shame: Rio de Janeiro.
