"bobrauschenbergamerica": The mammoth, collage-y works of artist Robert Rauschenberg are the perfect inspiration for a play that delves into our country, our character, and art.

SALSA EXPO 2010: Workshops, all day long, to help you improve your form. Performances to push you on. Contests to enter, and appetizers to keep your dance-machine energy up. It's all going down on the Queen Mary, over Friday, January 22nd and Saturday, January 23rd.
INTERNATIONAL WINE FESTIVAL: From those merrymakers drink|eat|play. It's at the Hollywood Renaissance, it costs $60, there will be tens and tens and tens of wines from New Zealand, France, and more, all picked by knowledgeable K&Lers, and it stretches through the long lovely early evening of Saturday, January 23rd.
