Art Knows No Borders
– All proceeds from the art, door, and auctions for the evening go to Doctors Without Borders!
YOUR ART MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
The event is now at the NEW Safari Sam's at 448 S. Main Street in Downtown LA, 90013! Come on out for a great time!
PARKING: There is a lot of street parking after 6 p.m. on Main, on side streets, on Spring, and on Los Angeles. Otherwise, there are $5 lots at 4th and a large one at 6th. There is a $3 at 2nd and Los Angeles.
167 works of art! Check out the contributors' page!
Tonight, the new Downtown incarnation of Safari Sam's hosts Art Knows No Borders, a twist on silent-auction conventions replete with exotic music, videos, poetry, belly dancers, and free art for the first 500 attendees. In an effort to raise $20,000 for international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, 120 artists have donated their works. Live performers include Iranian heavy-metal band Tarantist, electrifying hip-hop group Pic Vicious, and urban-gypsy marching band Killsonic. A $20 donation is suggested, but the all-ages event promises not to turn anyone away. Also, donations and purchases are tax deductible, enabling holiday buyers to stock up on imaginative gifts with help from Uncle Sam.
Help the Sayre Fire Victims
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is encouraging residents and businesses to help support the hundreds of displaced families due to the Sayre Fire by donating to the Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles, the organizations that is acting as the lead agency on shelter management and the current relief effort.
"Overnight, hundreds of families have found themselves homeless and relying on the care of their community," Villaraigosa said. "Just ten days before Thanksgiving, I encourage all Angelenos and businesses to come to their neighbor's aid and pitch in what they can." They are accepting cash donations and in-kind gifts.

The blog will be hosted by Kevin Bronson who was a senior music writer and editor for the LA Times. I am thrilled and honored that he asked me to do this. Should you have the time and the inclination to check it out, the link is as follows:

How did you got your start in Los Angeles, and how did you became such a heavy in Echo Park?
Read the BlackBook article
Echo Park Named One of Top 10 Great Neighborhoods
And when you hear that, you might find yourself asking which Realtor came up with that ranking. Luckily, this time there is some creditability behind the designation: the American Planning Association. They "singled out Echo Park because of its breathtaking topography set in the hills above downtown, historic architecture, pedestrian-oriented streets and stairways, and engaged residents who, over the years, have gone to great lengths to protect and preserve their community," according to an APA release (add: their website has more info and history on why EP was chosen) .... more after you click on the image!
