Genre matters. It especially matters to students in the Duke in Los Angeles program where we study all things genre, whether in film, television, music, gaming, or comics. Los Angeles also matters, and this site should also share helpful information about what to do while staying in Los Angeles.

Valentine Day Field Trip
For those of you legally able to attend age 21 events, many of you will want to save room on Thursday February 14th for the following field trip/event. It is unlike anything else you will do out here. The location is just fantastic, at the Mayan Theatre downtown. These are sell-out events so let me know who is interested and can get thru the doors. I'll need to order the tickets soon. Read about Lucha Va Voom here.
On another note -- Why do we do this? Mexican Masked Wrestling is an amazing tradition and while this event has moved way to the camp side of the tradition, it's still an interesting introduction to the closest real world application of the super-hero genre. Before going to the show, I'd suggest people look at this resource to learn more about the concept of lucha libre.
