WE ARE MOVING

We have had extreme difficulties with this blog site. Formats change at random, uploaded pictures disappear...frustrating and impossible.

We will in the future record our salon experiences, notes, messages and pictures at the Salon colada web site: http://02056c5.netsolhost.com/saloncolada.html

TOURISM!!

Quote of the evening: GO NATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEXT! TN at SC on TOURISM

THEORY NIGHT, Ruba Katrib's "activities and assignments", is a meeting of the minds to discuss contemporary issues and art. It is with our pleasure that the next TN will be at Salon colada.

Tourism, the life blood of Miami, and the engine that drives the superficial vibe of our city, will be the topic. Sex, semiotics and overcoming tourism will be grist for the mill (http://activitiesandassignments.wordpress.com/2009/05/29/theory-night-tourism/).
