yep…I shoulda double-checked my mind. The Great Chocolate Affair? there I was, right on time, umbrella in hand, at El Convento* wrong Convento, I find out today…..it’s the one on 2n Ave norte, south of 1a Calle oriente and he didn’t paint last night…but tonight…7pm I’m sure he(Alex)said that was the place…maybe he meant El Demento(me)…so I doubled back, passing Lex Cargo in front of Tartines, dressed to kill in a gray pinstripe suit…and with a spectacular woman, in a low cut dress that I had a hard time focusing on her…..assets. That bast…d…did he introduce me? noooo
I tried not to stare…really. So…the rains are with you (change the f….king subject) and went to the store(Lex’) where my cane was waiting…after a five month project, hey…it’s Guatemala, tis almost complete. A coat of mahogany stain(on the bamboo, not me) and….and what? who cares anymore? Carmen, working late in her salon last night, past 7pm…that lady never quits. The singing hair stylist? ack…interviewed with Shaun at Ocelot, had the singing job in the bag and then asked for a bartending gig…wrong move, wrong time, wrong place. Shaun’s got a steady stream of regulars/irregulars and he recently fended off a move to shut the place down…something about a permit..that fire was put out immediately. He’s got a few things up his sleeve, upcoming events but I can’t talk about it(yet). Would you believe lady boxing events? how about chocolate wrestling, sort of combine the two elements? Alex can sketch, the ‘choc NGO’s do a charity event and the winner gets to lick the….spoon.
