There are many reasons I wanted to have a conversation with Andy Internets. The golden one worth really mentioning is his inspired commitment to San Diego, & his dedication to cultivating a sense of cultural pride in a city that’s been long overdue for one. Andy does many things - dj's, graphic designs, organizes events, workshops, leads the traveler's club - I'm not really sure how he handles it all but tbh, if he told me he was running for local office tomorrow, I really wouldn’t care what his platform was. His actions speak volumes and I'd just give him my vote. Bring the win home bruh, SD deserves leaders like u.

San Diego has never been known for it’s arts or culture. No more. A new generation of young & dedicated artists are making waves & giving our city a dynamic voice. Four of these human jump-starters are Alejandra Frank of Teros Gallery, Andy M. Coronado of The Travelers Club, Carmela J Prudencio of the SDIY Coalition, & Mauro Donate of Weird Hues art & music collective. Through monthly events, DIY gallery parties, activism, and social media, these four are galvanizing the San Diego creative community into deeper engagement, creating a refreshing sense of community and identity in the process. *for the sake of raw documentation, open-sourcing our process of continuous improvement, and laziness, the entire conversation was left unedited. wabi sabi.*
