Pan Dulce
built 659 days ago
Although Pan Dulce was a multigender alternative for a younger crowd compared to la dieciséis, as a queer Latino space it had had some of the significance that this gay Latino strip and other queer Latino spaces have had. The music and the transgender performance shows in Pan Dulce and la dieciséis have taken patrons on emotional rides, helping them cross physical and temporal geographies in their lives. The dance and the music have created for and with the clientele a collective space, what several scholars have identified as the affective, melancholic and nostalgic cultures and politics in queer Latino performance.

The Pan Dulce de Mi Casa brand will be available regionally throughout the Sun Belt states in supermarkets, convenience stores and other retail outlets served by Flowers Foods Bakeries Group's direct-store-delivery distribution system. The cake line's brand name was inspired by Flowers' Mi Casa flour and corn tortillas, which were introduced in the mid-1990s.

While the potential for pandemonium is always present, in concert Pan Dulce sounds like one entity. That's an illusion since in fact it's an orchestra, albeit "an orchestra of like instruments," as Skweir put it.

To speak of Pan Dulce's queer Latina and Latino bodies in motion involves the literal and the figurative. Again, accounting for who was there literally entails the two interrelated histories of AIDS and gentrification in San Francisco. The club's promoter, Rafa Negrón, had been a long-term volunteer with an HIV prevention project in the city targeting gay and bisexual Latinos, El Ambiente. Well known in the gay Latino community in part through that work, Rafa was ... a friend of Ricardo A. Bracho, former underground house club promoter himself and then-coordinator of yet another HIV prevention and education agency, Proyecto. The social networks facilitated through these two gay Latinos and these two queer HIV agencies helped make Pan Dulce possible. Many of the bodies that eventually made their way to Pan Dulce were staff, clients, volunteers or friends and supporters of these agencies, especially of Proyecto.

Pan dulce was ... a heavenly wake-up call for José Acevedo, chef and kitchen manager at Taléo. He comes from Acámbaro, Guanajuato. When he was a child, it wasn't just the panaderos(bakers) who started early. "You could smell it first thing in the morning and know that somebody was baking." In his town even some home cooks had wood-burning ovens and he could buy bread from his neighbors.
