Taco lovers around the world, so glad to see you again. With TACO down all day yesterday I was worried that I’d never have the chance to share all this taco goodness with you. But, things have improved and they tell me that the site is going to be faster from now on. Anyway, there are a ton of great stories in the taco-sphere this week, read them and revel in the taco lifestyle…

Tomorrow, before the game, the LA Dodgers will honor Jaime Jarrin for his 50th anniversary as a Dodger broadcaster.

From the team’s site:

Jaime Jarrín, among the most recognizable voices in Hispanic broadcasting and one of two current Dodger Hall of Fame announcers, begins his 49th season in the radio booth as “the Spanish Voice of the Dodgers.” His smooth melodic voice is also heard on FSN Prime Ticket’s SAP channel. The Dodgers, with Jarrin and longtime English-language broadcaster Vin Scully, are the only Major League club to feature a pair of Hall of Fame announcers.

In the 2005 book “Voices of Summer,” Jarrín was named as baseball’s all-time best Spanish-language broadcaster based on “longevity, continuity, network coverage, kudos, language, popularity, persona, voice knowledge and miscellany.” He was rated 28th overall among all broadcasters.

Opening on June 28th at 7pm and running through July 16th ~ Cory Helford Gallery ~ 8522 Washington Boulevard, Culver City ~ 310-287-2340

Corey Helford Gallery presents “Natural History Museum Part I”, a solo exhibition of new works by Los Angeles artist Carlos Ramos. For his first solo show in Los Angeles, Ramos replicates the natural history museum experience for his audience, fusing the natural world with the art world. A series of twenty four large-scale paintings based on classic grand dioramas and a special installation of skeletal structures will transform the gallery into an epicenter of flora and fauna.

Carlos Ramos was born and raised in Burbank, California where he was obsessed with doodling and MAD magazine as a child. Ramos went on to create numerous shows for Cartoon Network, Walt Disney Studios, and Nickelodeon. His talent also extends to writing for Cartoon Network, drawing caricatures for Rolling Stone and Consolidated Skateboards, and doing stand-up comedy. Ramos’ work has been featured in numerous galleries including Gallery 1988 and I Am 8-Bit, and he co-hosted The Burning Brush Auctions with Tim Biskup.
