Hoy Gran Inauguración de BOSTOONS 2010

Nuestro estimado Mario Barros, artífice del Bus de Lenguaviva y organizador del concurso me envía la invitación y programa (en inglés) a la Gran Inauguración de BOSTOONS 2010, primera edición de este Festival Internacional del Humor de Boston. El Festival -4 días de cartones, humor y sátira- recibió para el
concurso-exposición un total de 1285 trabajos de 494 colegas de 67 países, y además de la expo constará de noches de comedia, presentaciones musicales y charlas con los miembros del jurado internacional del concurso de caricatura conformado por John Lent (EU), Boligán (Cuba-México), Kemchs (México), Omar Zevallos (Perú) y Raúl de la Nuez (Cuba-EU). También participará el jurado internacional para el concurso de textos humorísiticos, conformado por Pepe Pelayo (Cuba-Chile), Francisco Puñal (Cuba-España) y Aramís Quintero (Cuba-Chile).
Un gusto y un honor para esta caricaturista estar en la selección de trabajos :)

¡Felicidades Mario Barros por el éxito de Bostoons!
