HISPANIC PANIC!: PUNK – an evening of Latin words and strange music

2 Mar 2011

Wednesday, March 30^th,
7:30PM – 9:30PM

At Nowhere – 322 E 14^th St (1^st/2^nd)21+, FREE

New York’s most avant-garde Latino reading series peeks over the edge this month with a reading dedicated to PUNK and the various meanings it has come to embrace. As a popular music movement in the Mexican “desmadre” scene and as a very top-secret phenomenon in Cuba, punk music has seduced Latinos all around the globe.

Grab a beer, kick back, and listen to the peculiar perspectives of Dan Lopez, J Skye Cabrera, Sam J Miller, Charlie Vázquez, Roberto Plena Irizarry and the inimitable East Village performance art originator Ms. Penny Arcade herself for an unforgettable evening of words and music. Try to beat that!

Regular readers of VivirLatino will know that not only am I Editor here but I am also a poet. For two years now, I have proudly participated in the Hispanic PANIC! Reading series, housed at Nowhere here in NYC and and curated by author and friend to VL, Charlie Vázquez.

Charlie has done such an amazing job at bringing together talented, diverse word artists of and for the queer community that he decided to put some of their work, as heard during the literary series, in a book!

Released just in time for the holidays, the anthology features over thirty new voices and yes, mine is included.

You can get your own copy and one for someone you love here.

Hispanic PANIC! Unleashes It’s Talent in NYC

I needed to take a day off from VivirLatino because Hispanic PANIC! was so good. Charlie Vazquez is a curator of writers and souls and he worked his magic again on Wednesday night when he hosted Hispanic PANIC! at Nowhere.

Cristy Road jumped the evening off by reading an excerpt from her soon to be released graphic novel, SPIT AND PASSION, a coming of age story unlike any other. I cannot wait to read the finished product and learn more about how a queer Cubana in Miami obsessed with Green Day comes to terms with it all.

For the third time, yours truly, VL’s own managing editor, Maegan la Mamita Mala Ortiz will be reading at Hispanic PANIC!, a reading series featuring queer Latino writers hand picked by Charlie Vazquez.
That’s happening tonite
8 pm sharp at Nowhere, 322 e. 14th st, NYC.

Featuring: Orlando Ferrand, Alicia Anabel Santos, Aaron Powell, Maegan La Mala Ortiz, Miguel Angeles, and Cristy Road.

This will be my third PANIC! and I am so excited. Charlie, who has been featured here before does a magical job of curating (and sharing his own work). The readers are always amazing and the audience spectacular.

For those who haven’t attended a PANIC! reading before, you can read all about it in this piece that was featured in Viva!, the Latino pullout section of the New York Daily News. The feature article was written by fellow PANIC! writer Erasmo Guerra.

Hope to see some of you there.

Without a doubt, this is one of the best reading series that I have ever been a part of. If I weren’t hosting the live blog of President Obama’s State of the Union Address tonite, I would be at Nowhere, with a glass of vino and occasionally dancing bomba y plena by the bar.

If you are in the NYC are and aren’t chatting it up with us here tonite, support VivirLatino amigo Charlie Vasquez who works magic by bringing together the most amazing writers.

Charlie Vázquez and NOWHERE are happy to announce the resuming of the monthly LGBT reading series PANIC! after having taken December off. HISPANIC PANIC! kicks into the new year with a fantastic lineup of renegade Latino warriors of the word. Join me and Rob “Simply Rob” Vassilarakis, Yazmin Peña, Rigoberto Gonzalez, Roberto Santiago, Claudia Narvaez-Meza and Carlos Manuel Rivera for an evening of words, laughs, and more. Boogaloo tunes after we’re done. Free, 21+ only. Future readers find me!

Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Time: 8:00pm – 9:30pm
Location: Nowhere, NYC, 322 E 14th St (1st/2nd)

I’m running a little slow today because I’m tired and yes, a little hungover, pero it was all worth it. Last night’s HISPANIC PANIC! reading at Nowhere,NYC hosted by Charlie Vazquez, was the most fun I have had in a long time.

I read two older poems and a new poema en tres partes called @ndo aka Twitterputeando/Fucking Statehood. Charlie Vazquez read a story about juegos/jugos de pelotas. Charles Rice-Gonzalez, Executive Director of BAAD!, read from his forthcoming novel Chulito, and Karen Jaime spit poetic love to Dominican Yols, drag kings and hope. We were quite a mix as was the audience that came through and had nothing but love.

Plus I met some wonderful new amigos, drank wine, and danced to Cuban music.

I think I’m going to try and make these readings regularly and so should you. The next one is in February, which is billed GENDER PANIC! and March (GIRL PANIC!), which will feature female erotica writers.

Just tell them Patty Peña sent you.
