so what’s new? I didn’t go anywhere, aside from briefly stepping into the new Mediterraneo bar which was being pumped by degustaantigua..six people at 7..it’s a small but very nice bar…clean, neat and a great place to hide out, if you’re concerned about being seen with/without…Shawn rode his dice/luck and whipped on me via Egyptian backgammon, JT kept making me drink martinis, Jenny J says that cartoonist for Little Orphan Annie is ending the strip and having LOA move to Guatemala…no word on Daddy Warbucks, Sandy or Punjab: I seem to recall a porno movie called Little Oral Annie…’seem to recall’ is the operative phrase/mental status..
Alex Ferrar bringing pasta to Shawn at Ocelot? what’s that about? Alex took the Trivial Pursuit game box back to Sobremesa…maybe that’s the trade and he mentioned having ‘game nights’…hey…how about ‘ice cream nights’? he’s got restaurants and others wanting his ice cream in quantity to resell…maybe trivial pursuit is the metaphor/zeitgeist at work here…the 20q martini night? eh…aside from Rich Neel earlier, myself and Jenny J, I didn’t observe a lot of that kinda action, ,but after 3-4, my observations mighta been a bit clouded, kind of like the way I’m feeling now…
Tonight? El Muro putting on a benefit for the volunteers/diggers/shovel brigades in town….free dinner, cheap drinks..starts at five…do we bring gloves or some kinda proof we’ve working? that alone will eliminate 90% of the usual suspects.
Good news for Ocelot…the vacant spaces opposite are rented…a coffee shop in front(street) and a new restaurant behind…s’posed to be run by two gringo engineers. That should/will bring about the critical mass that all good joints have(think Hectors, El Pescador Italiano)where there’s just enough noise/people. It occurs to me that per Ocelot having a smoking section, that often times there’s more people outside than in…kinda like La Esquina’s big patio. I was wrong about Ignacio being at L.E on Wednesday night: his new flame, of what appears to be of teen-age vintage, probably had him chained down somewhere…visualize that one.
don't plan on goin' anywhere tonight
