Quick, Post-Election Note From Eric Chavez

I have been reading that NC and Virginia made history in the US by voting democrat this year! this is amazing, it makes me wanting to visit with you soon! a lot of people here is excited of having Obama as president of the US.
Anyway, there are things going on in the city of Oaxaca, today, I prepared a lecture for tomorrow, I will present how to dye cellulose fibers to a group of artists and weavers, this is fun and I am glad to see more and more people interested on this things. There are so many things going on in the city, so many workshops and reading clubs and book fairs and movie festivals. This year in the book fair we´ll have Paul Auster from the US doing reading clubs and workshops, there will be concerts, etc. I am really getting to know more about our city now that I live in it.  I am taking so many pictures with my new camera, I love it!
I wish I was there to see this exhibit, thanks for the link. I was thinking that I would like to visit California next year and go to LA and maybe dysneyland hahaha!
