Taco Shop Poets (Theatre)
Long live salsa and the spoken word! From the borderland taco shops of Southern California come these cultural guerillas, a posse of Mexican/Americans who've converted taco shops into temporary cultural centres for music, poetry, prose, and ritual. These new meeting places, trading under handles like The Steamed Bean and Chacos of San Jose, offer online samplings from works such as The Fish, Mr Boom Boom, Senoritas, and Fuck It. More content than form, but worth a detour to keep cross-culture alive.
