Venezuela Speaks!

I just got home from IMIX Books in Eagle Rock where my friend, Carlos Martinez, was scheduled to speak. He's on his book launch tour and making the rounds! Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances (read: Lakers championship and L.A. Downtown Art Walk) this LA event will have to be rescheduled. But it was great to see him and I got to meet some really top notch folks. And to top it off I discovered IMIX Bookstore. It's a cute little shop on Eagle Rock Blvd. and carries some pretty amazing books (and jewelry, wallets, et. al.)

Read a phenomenal collection of interviews with activists from across Venezuela's social movements AND support a homie. I actually am not well versed in the Venezuelan social movement so, needless to say, I am quite intrigued and excited to dive in. Gonna learn me a thing or two.

I spoke to Carlos a few months ago whilst in San Francisco and he told me about his time getting this book together. Hear more about it in an upcoming interview with Mr. Martinez. Got questions for him? Send them over and I'll be sure to ask him.
