Aurea Altamirano//El show de aurea

I was born in Lima- Peru. I studied my elementary years in the public School Los Reyes Rojos de Chorrillos where we used to sit on bricks and fix light bulbs on our own, a mucha honra. My high school years at Sagrado Corazon-Chalet were like a dream, where next to the breeze I learned to have a friend in Jesus and Virgin Maria. I graduated from Federico Villarreal National University which sent us to the most secret places of Lima to work with children. I was a street vendor, preschool teacher, immigrant, second language speaker, homesick but also I am a lover of my new home, Bay Area, first-time mother and a dreamer that my baby boy will have a better world where to live and love. Hopefully, my two cents get me closer to my goal

Nací en Lima, Perú. Estudié mis años de primaria en Los Reyes Rojos de Chorrillos, donde solíamos sentarnos en ladrillos y arreglar las bombillas por nuestra cuenta, a mucha honra. Mis años de escuela secundaria en Sagrado Corazon-Chalet fueron como un sueño, donde junto a la brisa aprendí a tener un amigo en Jesús y María Virgen. Me gradué de la Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal que nos envía a los lugares más secretos de Lima para trabajar con niños. Era vendedor ambulante, maestra de preescolar, inmigrante, hablante de segunda lengua, nostálgica de mi tierra pero también soy una amante de mi nuevo hogar, Berkeley, madre por primera vez y una soñadora de que mi bebé tenga un mundo mejor donde vivir y amar. Sólo espero que mis dos centavos me acerquen a mi meta.

ve a better world where to live and love. Hopefully, my two cents get me closer to my goal.

Rex Stone//Straight From The Crate

Rex has always had a deep bond with music, particularly bass heavy songs that involuntarily get those hips moving side to side, back and forth, and whichever way else. Whether is was through meticulously making mix tapes for friends, DJing the Bay Area rave scene or playing in his band Van Damnit! He has and will always love sharing and creating music with people and hopefully make them laugh a little as well with inappropriate jokes and asking Devin uncomfortable questions for him to answer.
