The Mysterious Finding of DJ Daniel Torres

DJ Daniel Torres had been in hiding—lost in a forest, he tells me. Take us with you, I say. It’s a one-man journey, he responds. Maybe we’ll cross paths. Daniel laughed loudly.

5pm Mass

As I'm researching the Dia de la Virgen Guadalupe, these things stick out at me:

"...the Mexican people, after more than two centuries of experiments, have faith only in the Virgin of Guadalupe and the National Lottery"-Octavio Paz -quote from Wikipedia

---and that as we document this mass, in Gridley, CA, with Mexicanos who have been here in varying amounts of time--from newcomers to many families who have been here for years--it is certain that the influence of central americans, latinos, and whatever other label we can come up with, is imminent, inevitable. In fact, it's happening now; we are in transition. The United States is being changed by Latinos, Hispanos, Latin Americans [your substitution here].
