some interesting events, redux
in a previous post of interesting upcoming events, "in the next few days" meant they were taking place this past weekend.
one of those events, however, was mistakenly read through the haze of a bad cold, phantom presences, and temporal/spatial displacements, as taking place last Friday, when in reality, it is THIS friday, May 8 (probably others caught this—hopefully none of this blog's four readers mistakenly went to the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts last Friday for the Homenaje Día de las Madres).
anyway, this is a very important fundraiser to send some local Chicana/o poets to La Habana, so here is a re-post of the details, plus another event in the next few days.
