Calling all Westsiders!

by guest blogger Jennifer Cheng

WTF?! Festival

For those of you who need to walk off your holiday meals, please join us for caroling! You can see us at our Pasadena concert, and remind yourself of some holiday lyrics before you join us caroling in Culver City with Tim Robbin’s The Actors Gang on December 19.

Ok, for those of you Westsiders who don’t go east of the 405, this is your opportunity to show your love for talented women who sing, and guess what? The collective love and joy is multiplied! Caroling is always my favorite part of December, bringing joy to people across different religions and cultural traditions.

So much to do in LA!

So, as part of our obligations to the grant we received from the Los Angeles County we are required to post our events on their experienceLA.com site. In doing so, I was reminded on how cool this site is! Unlike Goldstar, it is full of events produces by folks who are just like us - small, non-profit, LA community based, arts organizations. You know how you are always saying “This city is so rich with cultural happenings! I gotta get me out to some!” ? Well, maybe that was just me saying that, but this is a great way to keep informed of what’s going on. Also - our concert is posted here, and there are some cool features like “set a reminder” or “sent an invite” that makes letting your people know about our event easy. So thank you LA County Arts Council, for making us do something kinda smart!

We went to Mexico and all I got was this lousy sombrero!

I took this one. Any better? (Toni)

Seeing the sights

by Dr. Iris Levine

We arrived safely and all is good. The hotel is fantastic and right in the center of the Historic area of Mexico City. Toured some of the sights including the National Palace, the Cathedral and braved one set of thunderstorms already. The lowering of the flag ceremony was fantastic. Complete with military police and out of tune band. Sweet! Great food - company- and ready to try the tequila!. More later….

We´re here!

Where you at?


Metropolitan Cathedral, Mexico City

Thought I’d let people know where we’ll be staying.

In Mexico City, we’ll be staying at the NH Centro Historico Hotel. This is not in the Zona Rosa as some have said (Becky) but more near the historic Plaza de la Constitución better known as Zócalo, and the magnificent historical Metropolitan Cathedral.

In San Miguel de Allende, we’ll be at the Hotel Real de Minas Misión de Los Ángeles about 10 minutes north of the center of this small, but beautiful city.

In Guadalajara, we’ll be at the Hotel de Mendoza right in historical downtown.
