WE KEEP IT FUNKY AT INDIGO LOUNGE!

Indigo Lounge is a movement that consists of learners, musicians, activists, creative thinkers, educators, entrepreneurs, and advocates. Rashonda "Zoe" Bartney from Piddle Productions and host Carolyn Wysinger created a platform for people from all walks of life, to come together and just "BE" in a supportive environment. Warning: this is not meant to be "Love Jones" or part of that pretentious hollywood scene. You will only find down to earth people true to the L.A. artist movement. Come vibe with us as we bring the most talented people together on one stage!

June 21st will be an extraordinary show with L.A.'s funk band MIDSTONES ARKESTRA!

I'm Reading at the Craft & Folk Art Museum

The CAFAM Shop is thrilled to introduce a new zine/small press section, curated by L.A. Zine Fest and The Pop-Hop . We're celebrating the launch of the new collaboration Saturday, April 18th, and you're invited. Work from The Blk Grrrl Show , John Pham, Yumi Sakugawa :: Comic Book Artist + Illustrator , Tiny Splendor , and Selfish. This is really exciting for me because I have been a zinester since 2010 with the launch of my Black Punk Rock themed zine "Abstract By Nature." I'll be there representing with the #blkgrrrl show and reciting a few of my poems from my chapbook "Rage Love Complexity." Very honored to share the stage with Pam Ward and Teka Lark Fleming. I donated books and I will have chapbooks available at the Pop Hop in Highland Park, Ca. See you there, Zoe Blaq

This was an inspiring weekend for every type of writer who needs a little push. I had fun sharing my poetry with a talented group of Los Angeles poets at the annual LitFest Pasadena.
