17 - Derecho a Sindicar y un Nuevo PuenteWorker's Right to Organize and a New Bridge

Las marchas que César Chávez empezó para los derechos de sindicar a los trabajadores continuan. Aquí en Sacramento tuvimos una marcha del Parque Southside al Parque César Chávez. Antes de la marcha hubieron unas danzas Aztecas y una bendición por el padre de la iglesia de nuestra señora de Guadalupe que está al travez del parque.

The marches that Cesar Chavez used to have for the worker's right to organize continues. In Sacramento we had a march from Southside Park to Cesar Chavez Park. The march carries on the tradition of marching for struggling families, fair wages, working conditions, and worker's rights. Before the march dancers in Aztec gear performed and a priest from Our Lady of Guadalupe, across the street from Southside Park, said a little prayer.

Me dió orgullo ver los jóvenes chicanos participando en la marcha. Como decia Chávez ¡sí se puede!

I was happy and proud to see so many young chicanos participating in the march. Chavez' chant continues "Yes we can"

El nuevo puente de Folsom.
Folsom's new bridge; Folsom Lake Crossing.

Por último observé La Hora de la Tierra hoy, pero no tomé una foto porque estaba recargando la pila de mi cámara. Prepararé mejor el próximo año.

Finally, I observed Earth Hour today but I was unable to take a picture since I was about to charge my camera battery. I'll prepare a little better next year.

262 - Red Host, Them Hills, Lonely Kings, Lite Brite

I missed the first to bands (Lite Brite and Lonely Kings). Heard a couple of songs from Them Hills then went to the edge of the stage and took some pictures of Red Host. Above are the 3 members of the band and the group itself. Enjoyed the two bands I heard.

No llegué a tiempo para ver las primeras dos bandas (Lite Brite y los Lonely Kings). Them Hills tocaron unas cuantas canciones y después me acerque al frente de la plataforma y tomé estas fotos del grupo Red Host. Arriba pueden ver una foto de cada miembro y una de todos juntos. Me gustaron mucho los dos grupos que ví.

304 - Friday the 13th, A Good Day to be a Punk

Tonight's Friday Night Concerts at Chavez Park had 4 bands playing; the Goodniks, Baby, Final Summation, and the Secretions.
We got to Cesar Chavez Park just as Baby was ending their gig. We had already missed the Nogoodniks, Then the band above (Final Summation) came on for a good session.





The mosh pit grew and withered. It was around 100 degrees today. I stayed at the edge of the pit and the kids stayed within their mosh circle and did not bother others (for the most part). I was quite intrigued by the mohawks in the stage and audience. Great crowd.







The Secretions ended the show. A kid, late teens/early teens, told me the drummer is a 4th grade teacher at a local school. I was impressed.

The last show had members from other bands and friends of the Secretions end the concert. A lot of dirt was being kicked around since the pit was in a dirt area for the most part.

I hope to regain my hearing within the next few days, the ringing continues hours after the concert. Today was a good day to be a punk.

Hoy fué un día bueno para ser un punkadero (a deveras que no se cómo se dice Punk en español).
