Blog comments embraced as art, sort of

Jesus Sanchez, the creator and editor of the blog The Eastsider LA, will hold a public reading — by actors — of selected comments from his blog next Saturday at Taix, the French restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park that was an outpost of an earlier restaurant located downtown with all the other French Angelenos. "The performance also doubles as an Eastsider meet up and fundraiser," Sanchez posts. "Admission is free but you can always contribute at the door or online to keep The Eastsider – and the comment section - an informative and entertaining part of your digital life."
