Cuban Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium happened and Los Angeles Cubans came out in force. Because it was a very full weekend, I'm still trying to gather my thoughts in a "Wow. Did all that just happen?" kind of way.  I'm going to try to describe the weekend with a basic chronology and from my own personal point of view, starting with Saturday night. ...

July 21, 2017 By Marta Darby 3 Comments

I had trouble coming up with a headline for this post because I have sooo much I want to tell you about. So bear with me while I give you all the "chisme" about our fabulous upcoming August weekend celebrating our LA Dodgers, our Cuban Heritage, Willy Chirino, and of course, our CUBANITY. First of all, you will want to know where to get tickets to ...

The Dodgers and The Cubanity

May 19, 2015 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: This post contains an inordinate amount of selfie-type photos of me. Forgive me. I was so over-the-top excited about this night and being where I was and meeting who I met. It's a Cuban thing. Imagine a stadium full of Cubans, all noisy and celebrating and munching on Dodger dogs.  Picture them stopping to do the mandatory ...

Cuban Heritage Day – “Tremendo Vacilón”

August 19, 2014 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

The 2nd Annual Cuban Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium has come and gone and it was, by all accounts, a huge success.  I'm still a little overwhelmed by all the fabulousness and fun of celebrating baseball and Cubanity(<--it's a word, right?) with my people. And it was the hottest stinking day of the summer in LA, so, if this is ...

Cuban Heritage Day – Ticket Winner

August 11, 2014 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

As I'm writing this, I have "Take me out to the ballgame" playing in a loop in my head. I am anticipating the excitement of arriving at Chavez Ravine for the big day on Sunday. From last year, I remember the awesome pre-game Viva Los Doyers party with the Charanga Cubana playing classic Cuban music. I loved being surrounded by all my ...

Cuban Heritage Day At Dodger Stadium – A Winner

August 28, 2013 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

 What do I love more than Cubaneo*? I can't think of anything off the top of my head. (I know. However, the "husband and kids" answer is way too easy, but that's not important right now.) (*Cubaneo is when a bunch of Cubans are together and trying to talk over each other. It's an amazing thing.) We're going to the ...
