(That’s the one that’s alllll the way down the ramp […]
While you were getting carded at The Abbey this Friday night, El Museo del Barrio at 105th and 5th hosted a reading and conversation with acclaimed novelist Junot Díaz in support of his latest book, This Is How You Lose Her.

The few, the brave, the snarky: day-to-day operation at Bwog is orchestrated by a small group of daily editors (dailies), who are responsible for writing Bwoglines and ensuring that the posts scheduled on their day of the week make it on to the site on schedule.
