Higher prices for gasoline, meat and vegetables and even cooking oil have put pressure on food trucks as they struggle to balance menu prices with customers' expectations of a low-cost meal.

The transcendent new album from Ani Di Franco, Revolutionary Love (out January 29, 2021), marks the latest proof of one of her most powerful gifts as an artist: a rare ability to give voice to our deepest frustrations and tensions, on both a personal and political level. “My songs have always reflected an acute connection between my personal life and the life of my society,” says the trailblazing musician and activist. “As I started to come out of years of dealing with marriage problems, I saw my entire country in the same situation; the complete breakdown of communication and loss of empathy and connection. But after what seems like unforgivable damage, then where do you go? You can’t kick each other off the planet, you can’t change the past, so what then?” Come see them perform at Belly Up Tavern on June 21, 2022. The doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 8 p.m. Ticket Price: $42 advanced / $45 day of show / $74 reserved loft seating (available over the phone or in person at out box office) Genre: singer songwriter

"Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence: He observes closely, and he enjoys his observations; for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life." —Friedrich Nietzsche, "Twilight of the Idols" What is the importance of being human? I’m sure there will be many answers extolling the virtues of our greatness with human creativity, intelligence, naming inventions, cures for diseases, our love and compassion, etc. Are we also important because we self-reflect, we think about ourselves, and we think about others? We also know we are going to die. Yet, people still function every day like they are immortal and that itself could be looked upon as heroic. What matters? This workshop is an exploration of poetry (of others and ours) stimulated by these thoughts. We will read, write, philosophize, and write some more. Date | Sunday, May 1 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Location | Online via Zoom Register here! Members: $36 Non-members: $42 For more information, please visit sandiegowriters.org/online-what-matters-seretta-martin or call (619) 696-0363.
