Saturday, March 24, 2012 - Latcho Drom Private Screening - Charleston Heights Arts Center, 800 Brush St., Las Vegas, Nevada 89107-4005. 1:45 to 3:30 p.m. (We have to be out by 4:00 p.m.) This is for ALL Crewmembers, Passengers, and Hobos! We'll have refreshments during the showing, too.

Here is a synopsis of Latcho Drom: The film takes the viewer on a journey west, from India to Spain, with stops along the way, to dramatize Romany's nomadic culture. This journey takes place over a year's time, from summer through fall and winter to spring. Gatlif, the director, holds his camera on the elemental essentials of this life: water, the wheel, fire, beasts of burden and of sustenance, colorful clothes, jewelry, musical instruments, song, and dance. Throughout, via song and dance, young and old celebrate, embody and teach the cultural values of family, journey, love, separateness, and persecution.

Saturday, April 21, 2012 - André Montsion Workshop - Charleston Heights Arts Center, 800 Brush St., Las Vegas, Nevada 89107-4005. There will be 3 sessions at $15.00 each and a review. Or the full package advance registration price is $40.00 until April 14, 2011. André's specialty is French Canadian, Greek, and Romanian.

Wednesdays - Nearly every week, in season, some Crew Member brings homegrown fruits or vegetables to the regular Wednesday evening dance. This is the ETHNIC EXPRESS Farmers Market. Some folks keep us supplied with cookies, candy, and whatever too! Romaine starts to bring black figs in early summer, about the time Connie's apricots are done ripening. Ilene provides apples in season.
