Arts & Entertainment in Puerto Vallarta
El que por su gusto corre, nunca se cansa
This PV Scene is the byproduct of an empiric, hedonistic, humanistic philosophy of life. And of a love of México. This site covers the basics of Puerto Vallarta, many of the standard tourista (both Gringo and National) attractions and events, as well as occasionally slipping and sliding onto the rather extensive and varied underbelly of this sleepy little Mexican beach town.
One of the things we are trying to do with this website is to integrate the foreign Gringo community into the local National community by posting many events that are outside of the normal Gringo tourista lifestyle. A modest command of the Spanish language is helpful for most of these activities, although it is quite possible to experience total immersion and appreciation without this skill. It’s a bit like being deaf, not speaking Spanish in Mexico, and finding that there can be life, and a very exciting life at that, without aural comprehension. Humans have quite a few other senses beyond hearing and this is an extremely sensual culture.
Another of the things we are trying to do with this website is to integrate the Gay and the Straight communities. Language is immaterial to this effort; the connection is individual humanity.
WHO WE ARE
Rick Hepting has published several monthly magazines (none which has been described as ‘orthodox’) as well as a quite ‘normal’ weekly newspaper in Oakland, California. He has worked as a journalist for small newspapers in Santa Cruz, Oakland, San Francisco and Mendocino California. He also owned and operated Berkeley Type, a commercial advertising, typesetting & design studio in Berkeley, California for 10 years. Rick is the editor and does most of the day-to-day writing on this site. He’s also the webmaster.
Sarah Hepting is an artist and commercial photographer and she does the schlep work on this website. The PVScene wouldn’t exist without her skills, talent and perseverance.
