Paul and I could've never anticipated the amazing response to Bullfighter's Cafe. I mean there we were in our little disconnected corporate world thinking..."are there any people put there like us?" In the last few months we've connected with people all across the country who are making changes in their communities through art. We will have some pretty fantastic content coming up. Thank yous are in order to:
Luis Chaluisan who produces avant garde theater in the Bronx and has challenged me to produce a documentary on my late brother Rick Aviles. He also pointed me in the direction on Youtube celeb LittleLoca who I will be interviewing this afternoon.
Luis Rodriguez- amazing author and political commentator for opening Tia Chuchas cafe cultural to raise up thinkers. I met Luis at the Pasadena Cinco De M ayo Festival and he was so positive and excited for us. In the next few months we will be working on an article about Tia Chuchas.
Eric Cartel- I started writing reviews for Musica 360 last month. I came across a band I didn't care for and wrote Eric a note to say I didn't want to send a bad review. He wrote me back to say he values integrity and wanted me to say what was on my mind. His site is commercial but he still wants to do the "write" thing!
My partne PAUL Martinez -who has stuck by me through thick and thin. We have come to the near starvation at times but he's never abandoned ship! We couldn't be two more different people and yet, the combo works. He always sends me articles to inspire me http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060531/ap_on_re_us/graffiti_wars (Yahoo headline "NYC graffiti artists target councilman") We will be doing a feature on Graff in the next couple of months.
Of course my thanks go everyday to God, mom (RIP-I love you), Rico (my hubs- 15 years holmes and you still rock my world) and my kids (I may seem crazy now but you'll understand one day...)
Thanks to everyone who supports us and LA Causa!
