Of course, the whole of the community will be at Eagle's Hall for the free festival "Regrow Altadena" walking distance just down the hill along the miraculously unburned Christmas Tree Lane. (Both are on the same street at the same time, one on Woodbury, the other on Mariposa). The music and dancing from one may echo up and disturb the poetry readers if they whisper at the mic all NPR-style, so speak up or deliver those poems and attempts at haiku (haibun) as if they were spoken word with verve.
