Fire @ the Sol Collective

My thoughts are going out to the folks behind the Sol Collective, the arts and music space on Del Paso Blvd., which was struck by a two-alarm fire early this morning.Sol Collective was always a must-stop for me on the Second Saturday art walk, and the gallery's Dia de Los Muertos show this past October was especially good with its mix of urban art and Mexican traditions. Sol Collective also hosted some very cool music, including the "Las Mujeres de Hip Hop Cuban" show featuring some of the top lady MCs from Cuba. I also remember a great midnight set from Dusty Brown, the local electronica act, at a fashion/art/music show called "Votive: La Suerte de Guadalupe." Ah, this news about the fire is just a bummer ...
