I just flew back from Detroit and boy is my mouth tired. That's not a joke. I just did a lot of talking. It was a coference for LCLAA, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement. It was a very worthwhile trip. I got to meet a lot of very interesting and influencial labor leaders, as well as perform for a room full of Latinos. I felt good. It was also great that people knew about the connection that Omar and I are making with FiLatino. We spoke about the unity between the latino and Filipino community during the farm workers strike of the seventies. I can't wait to see how it affects my writing, and painting.
