Another Wednesday at the HQ. The Thirty-First, to be exact. Today, we bring an EL PASO ICON over to the HQ. Since 2012, he has immensely contributed to the performance space, having been responsible for introducing many artists to their first time on the stage! Mine included… Beyond 2012, he has dove into the world of creative writing and has not looked back since. Along with hosting and serving as the project director of the longest running open mic series in El Paso, he himself is a well-recognized writer and displays a skill for poetry that inspires those around him. His presence within the creative community mirrors his profession in education. Within both spaces, he leads the way and allows for freedom of expression to thrive. The man is known to introduce so many, and today we get to introduce him. Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, live at the HQ, we welcome... RICHIE D. MARRUFO
