With the announcement that President Biden would no longer run for the Democratic nomination, and his endorsement of Vice President Harris, the focus is on who Harris might choose as her running mate.

El fallo de la mayoría conservadora del tribunal significa que las ciudades ya no tienen prohibido castigar a las personas sin hogar por acampar si no tienen otro lugar adonde ir. Tendrá fuertes repercusiones en California, donde el gobernador demócrata Gavin Newsom y muchos líderes de la ciudad acogieron con agrado el nuevo poder para barrer los campamentos. Las personas sin hogar y sus defensores dicen que la decisión criminaliza a los pobres que no tienen otras opciones, simplemente por existir.

Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. In the sessions on September 1 and 15, participants will dissect the many facets of portraiture and the contrast between internal and external representations of the self while touring artworks from MCASD's collection. Whether viewing artworks that are figurative or abstract, metaphorical or literal, humorous or severe, each exploration will examine the compositional and storytelling qualities of portraits and their power to communicate a message. In the artmaking portion of the sessions, participants will put lessons into practice by creating portraits of many subjects, such as: • A beloved • Someone admired • A group of friends • Family member • Co-workers • The self In the workshop series from October 6 through December 1, participants will explore how the body is integrated into contemporary art. Through close looking we will engage with artworks where the body is present, and others where it is invoked by its notable absence. As participants delve into the concepts tied to interpretations of the human form they will consider and learn: • How scale impacts the viewer • How the body is used as a tool for labor • How artists engage the senses in a hands-off contemporary arts environment • How body is present through absence Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary artmaking techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided, if required. Participants may join one session (two days) or the full series (four sessions; eight days).

From Bad Vibes Good Friends (BVGF): On July 27 and 28, we are bringing a two-day Art and Music showcase to Barrio Logan's Corazon del Barrio, promising a unique sensory experience. The event will feature curated music, art, live visuals, and cocktails, showcasing a diverse blend of internationally and locally acclaimed talents from the cordillera of Colombia to the deserts and coast of California. Thursday, July 27: Collaborating with the renowned Latin American record label ZZK, Bad Vibes Good Friends has secured two monoliths of contemporary Colombian music for their San Diego showcase: Meridian Brothers and Cerrero y La Marea. Eblis Alvarez, the songwriter/multi-instrumentalist and bandleader of Meridian Brothers, has been hailed as an "Eccentric Mastermind" by the New York Times's Ed Moreno, and championed as Bogota's frontiersmen of Neo-Tropicalismo and Cumbia for two decades. Diego Gomez of Cerrero y La Marea is also considered a pioneer in the contemporary music scene of Bogota. His collaborations and record labels, Disco Pacificos and Llorona Records, have introduced the world to folk acts of Colombia roots like Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto while blending his electronic music expertise with other traditional Latin American influences. Cerrero y La Marea, his current project with Grupo Bejuco's William Martinez and Tomaco's Marimba de Chonta master Juan Carlos "Cankita" Mindinero, continues this intriguing fusion. Fresh Veggies Micro Brass, a local emerging psychedelic circus, will also be featured that night. Fresh off festival performances at Lighting In A Bottle and Same Same But Different, this New Orleans marching band gone mad is an eccentric amalgamation of members of Sure Fire Soul Ensemble, and Euphoria Brass Band. DJ Strange Bouquets (Rory Morison), the musician, artist, and founder of Bad Vibes Good Friends, will be spinning vinyl selections from his extensive collection of international music. Rees Withrow, an analog video artist, has been captivating San Diego audiences since 2014 with his unique brand of visuals using circuit-bent hardware to create psychedelic, glitched-out images on old-school CRT TV screens. Encapsulating the flavors of the night with a menu of curated cocktails will be the duo Super Purple. Comprised of Leigh Lacap and Nick Sinutko two prolific minds behind some of the most respected beverage programs in San Diego (Craft and Commerce, Campfire, Frankies, Jeune et Jolie), Super Purple sees the two consolidating their artistic aptitudes and peculiar imaginations into color-drenched, multi-sensory beverage activations. Friday, July 28: WAND, a band formed in late 2013 in Los Angeles, quickly earned great praise for brandishing a genre contrarian path and quickly separating themselves from the emerging southern Californian psych/garage scene. With 10 years, 7 releases, and relentless touring under their belt, Wand is a legendary shapeshifting juggernaut, leaving a collection of post-punk, psychedelic, metal art-rock classics in their wake. Local bizarre-o quintet Drug Hunt, often championed for their seditionist attitude, will also perform. While often categorized as Neo-Psychedelic, the band is more accurately a bastardization of Psychedelia, championing the angular idealism of American Post-Punk and the orphaned swagger of early British Hard Rock. Named one of NBC's "Top 9 Bands To See Live In San Diego," Drug Hunt is a local powerhouse on stage, and they will be debuting and performing two new songs featuring Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Adrian Terraza Gonzalez of The Mars Volta. Hailing from Joshua Tree, This Lonesome Paradise delivers reverb-soaked retribution, lounge lust, and the enigmatic echoes of western noir. Their dark musical cinema evokes the blood thirst of a Cormac McCarthy novel and the poetic surrealism of a David Lynch flick. Recently earning them an acolyte and production stewardship/collaboration with genre heavyweight Taylor Kirk of Timber Timbre, This Lonesome Paradise is a well-kept secret soon to be a headline. New Tongues is a binational sound art and music group based in Baja, Mexico, and San Diego, California, will also grace the stage. Founded in 2023 by artist and musician Preston Swirnoff, along with field recordist/sound designer Xareni Lizarraga and violist/producer Kathia Rudametkin, New Tongues is an adventure in interdisciplinary collaboration. Using sound sculptures, field recordings, visual art installations, and traditional instruments, they craft electroacoustic song forms that celebrate intimacy, relationship ecologies, and deep listening. San Diego projectionist Sebastian Bañuelos, known as Gonzo Liquid Light, blends the realms of analog and digital video effects for concert performances. Mentored by liquid light pioneers from the 1960s, Gonzo adds his own artistic touch by utilizing contemporary VJ software and digital effects. Andrew McGranahan Graphic Artist/Designer is most notably recognized for his art works in the music industry: posters, album art and other merchandise. He’s also the lead designer for the music festival Desert Daze, one half of San Diego Freak Out and a well recognized Dj in San Diego. He’s the artist behind the 3rd annual Bad Vibes Good Friends poster and will no doubt satiate the audience with his extensive collection of deep cuts and odd international assortments. Este Güey, the bar duo of Esteban Kauffman and Josue Gonzalez, will complement the raucous atmosphere of night two. Known for their exemplary roles in bars such as Herb and Wood and Swan Bar, this uncanny team brings an elevated yet no-frills mentality to their cocktail ethos. Formed in a sweaty cumbia punk dance party, they have been known to shake your cocktails in the throws of a mosh pit. And if that's not enough both nights' walls will be graced with the astonishing art work of 16 emerging and established artists of the San Diego, Tijuana, and Los Angeles art scenes. Thao French, Amanda Kazemi, Kolten French,CJ Troxell, Strange Bouquets, Gray Morison, Laura Arango, Jake Fitzgerald, Eyegato, This Girl Hugs Trees, Jorge Guitierrez, Valazo, Rancho Cherenchitov, Jazmine Puentes, Luis Cendejas, and Jesse Sunwolf Tickets: Night 1: July 27 Night 2: July 28
