Sunset Junction's ridiculous ticket prices

This has to be about the third year that they actually charge to get into sunset junction- it's up to 20 at the door this year! I got in free the year before last and hustled a performer's pass last year (I was a belly dancer, thank you very much), but having no prospects for either this year, things is lookin grim. If the whole idea beging S.J. was to bridge the gap between the working class raza, the gay white folks and all the broke ass artists in between, mission aborted, people. Can you really see a little brown couple with two teenagers and a baby being able to afford this family outing? I mean some of these people shop at the 99 cent store for groceries. Way to turn your back on us, sunset junction. If this keeps up next year, I'm going to call for a Latino boycott of attendees and acts (that means you, Very Be Careful), so they can get a glimpse of what it'll be like without any of us there.

-he dicho.
