copies of "A Map for An Other LA" can be ordered by emailing llanodelrio@gmail.com

…presented by The Llano Del Rio Working Group, beautifully illustrated by Katie Bachler (former intern and Sundown Schoolhouse student), and designed by Department of Graphic Sciences (original designers the Edible Estates book), identifies and locates all of the exciting alternative activity in the city which is really what makes this place worth living in – and here is the text from their original solicitation for information:

Do you operate a backyard beehive?  Are you working in public, not getting paid and not considered a social worker or public artist? Are you painting bicycle lanes on Glendale Boulevard?  Are you a guerrilla historian? Participating in an alternative news source? Do you operate a no-profit space? Are you planting gardens in traffic medians? Are you inventing, selling, or operating solar powered gizmos? Stirring shit up? Tilling an urban farm? Planting urban nightmares? Do you participate in schizo-cultural activities furthering esoteric beliefs and practices? Are you encouraging individual and group detours away from economics as we know it? Member of a coop?  Part of a cycling mob? Are you developing stuff that will make sense when the shit hits the fan, the love bomb drops, or somewhere in between? Are you pursuing alternative models of development? Do you chew gum in public with friends and call it something other? Do you run a print kitchen, beer kitchen, bicycle kitchen, bio-fuels kitchen, a stitching kitchen or just heat an oven? Are you a part of a neighborhood vigil against war? Are you aware of a business resistant to time like a typewriter shop or a mythic location where shamans roam the valley? Is there a neighborhood your aware of with so much front yard agriculture that you just got to share it? Are you supporting the pursuit of an esoteric art and craft? Player in a radical cheer group, marching band, or cycling ensemble?  Popularizer of unpopular or unknown wisdoms? Do you have difficulty with the pronoun “I”, but find comfort talking about “we”? Are you aware of another LA beneath the traffic lanes?.
