Rey Andujar, author and performer in Teatro Vista/Collaboraction’s Yo Solo Festival is nourishing his soul at:
Calles y Sueños Calles y Sueños has become the place I go to get comfort food for my art soul. The project is headed by Pilsen cultural activist and advocate Christina Obregon, who works to provide an alternative space for local and international artists. What interests me the most about this cultural house is its constant motion. There is always something going on at Calles y Sueños: art shows, theater and music events, and film and cultural workshops. The organizers of these events seem to understand that where there is a need there lies an opportunity for those passionate about change.

Kriss Abigail, Vaudezilla photographer is lighting up the night at:
Full Moon Jam When the full moon rises over Lake Michigan, one unassuming Chicago beachfront lights up with celebration. The crowd gathers as the moon bathes the grassy field with its glow and the drums start beating as the first fire bender enters the circle. The dancers twist and dance with the flame, transforming themselves into dragons, performing feats of daring that leave the audience breathless.
