I just got the message below from my man Pocho Joe. I have too many fond memories of Luna Sol where its at. Many of you know that the first incarnation of 33 1\/3 was a successful near 3 years of weekly poetry slams at Luna Sol Cafe.

...I am so sad to pass this news along: According to Dez, Obi and Tito, the co-owners of Luna Sol Cafe, they will be closing the doors on Sunday, November 17th. They have been evicted from the building. This is something that has been a possibility for a very long time. Luna Sol has had TWO electrical fires in the past two months and still the owners didn't want to fix anything and they were also complaining about the music. So even though Luna Sol wasn't ready to leave, they decided not to renew their lease until all of the repairs were made. So the owners evicted them. Dez says, \"This is not the end of Luna Sol. Luna Sol is not a building. We just need to regroup and find a new space. It's a blessing actually.\"

During the next few weeks, PLEASE GO SUPPORT. It's one of the most down-to-earth locations in the city, serving some of the best (and most inexpensive) vegetarian food.

They are having a huge DIA DE LOS MUERTOS event on Friday, October 31st at 3pm.

There will be music, poets, vendors and a Dia de los Muertos procession through the park.
