Walking along colorful Capp Street in the Mission District to get to the Community Music Center set the stage perfectly to check out this artist’s homage to everyday Angelenos, in a grand gold-covered storybook about how contemporary life intersects and reflects our mythological past.
After stirring speeches from the author, and Heyday Publisher Malcolm Margolin,
Francisco Herrera inspired the crowd to dancing and singing, while party goers got the chance to pose as a saint against a beautiful "All the Saints" backdrop.
The Angels of Heyday deserve praise for their tireless work to showcase the soul of our community, and thus connect enthusiasts like me to the fabrics of our humanity.

I first heard about Porchlight from Malcolm Margolin, publisher at Heyday Books and one of my favorite storytellers.
Started by Arline Klatte and Beth Lisick at the San Francisco underground Cafe du Nord six years ago, the monthly gathering attracts an eclectic mix, to be entertained by candlelight with 10-minute improv stories about a specific theme.
The month the theme was "May I Help You? The Customer Service Show, and favorite stories were: Arline's mother-in-law telling about her experience as a 19 year-old barmaid and "B-girl" at a dive bar in New York late 1960s, and Bucky Sinister as an early PlayStation tech-guide developer who relayed instances of speaking "red-neck" with certain customers and working for a Rod-Stewart lookalike female alcoholic boss.
