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 ...

CUBA NIGHT at Dodger Stadium – Ahora Sí!
As you well know, it's my great pleasure to be a part of the Cuban Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium Committee. For one, we get to have our meetings at Porto's, but that's not important right now. What's so very cool this year is that the Dodgers love our Cubanity (<--that's a word, rightr?) so much that they've ...
For the Love of Blue
Yesterday, as many of you know, was Baseball Opening Day. Can you just smell the freshly mown grass and the chatter of happy and excited fans? Can you picture the dramatic unfurling of the US shaped flag? And of course, the fireworks? And are you now celebrating the Dodgers' Opening Day (1-0) win over the Padres? And are you now so ...
Cuban Heritage Day – “Tremendo Vacilón”
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
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 ...

My Big, Fat, Dodger Blue Cuban Family
I have amazing news! I'm proud and privileged to announce that I was invited to be on the planning committee for Cuban Heritage Day at Dodger Stadium this year! (I know. Shut up.) Seriously, if I was going to add an item to my Bucket List, this would be it. Of course, I didn't know I would have added it until they actually asked me, but ...
Cuban Heritage Day At Dodger Stadium – A Winner
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 ...
