I am able to expand the vision of spectacle clients, husband and wife Technical Director and Artistic Director of Flam Chen The MSA Annex is an expansion of the Mercado San Agustín, bringing 13 new locally owned small businesses, many women and minority-owned, for a total of 26 along the Mercado District’s Avenida Del Convento. The shops and eateries at the MSA Annex are housed beautifully inside modified shipping containers.

The juxtaposition of the Spanish Colonial style Mercado San Agustin and new modern Annex together create a dynamic experience as seen in great cities around the world.

Another event that was new to me was the Tucson Poetry Festival. I attended a workshop and made a new friend who introduced me to his friend, Jake Feinberg. Jake hosts a radio the show Powertalk 1210 which revolves around the 4 L’s (Leadership, Love, Life and Lineage). As you may know these are 4 words I hold near and dear. I learned that Jake has interviewed many of my friends, clients past and present and many others I admire. My turn in the chair is Thursday April 19.

The Henry Gross interview provides great opportunity to hear Jake show off his love of music, life and lineage. My client Henry, like all of the artists I admire has quite a charmed past. Listen below to hear for yourself.

ALL SOULS PROCESSION BRINGS MILLIONS TO ECONOMY

ASP_2014_dancers_jeffsmith

TUCSON – The All Souls Procession brought 100,000 visitors Downtown and was a big boost to business, according to organizers.

Last year, the event paid for an economic impact study. That study showed the event brought $17,550,000 to the local economy.

The Procession worked its way through Downtown and ended at the Mercado San Augustin.

Many of the participants and spectators are from out of town.

The closing ceremony, police and barricades cost thousands of dollars. Volunteers collect donations along the route. But every year, the event has to raise other funds. People can donate online at AllSoulsProcession.org.
