\nBuenos Aires\u2019 most literary street party is back: La Francachela is organized by the amazing used bookstore Aristipo Libros in Villa Crespo, led by owner and writer Patricio Rago, who will also be presenting his new novel Homo Ludens. Expect music, empanadas, wine, great books, beautiful people, and everything else you could want on a Saturday night filled with alcohol and education.<\/p>\n
The event has gotten bigger and more popular over the years, so much so that now they\u2019re now actually closing up Aguirre street for it. And because the party never really stops there\u2019s a post-Francachela at La Quince Cultural Space (Corrientes 5426) with a bar and a DJ.<\/p>\n

This is not your usual bingo: there is comedy humor, audience engagement, prizes, improv and, yes, lots of glittr \u2014 you don\u2019t yell \u201cBingo\u201d, you scream \u201cSocorro!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
